Whew! Oppressive heat in our small town has gardens wilting away and flowers swooning for a drink. When temps get close to the 110 mark, everything and everyone is in danger. Hydration is a key word to remember: drink lots of water, but don’t forget to get those electrolytes ingested also. If you feel weak or a bit dizzy, get to a cool place and drink some Gatorade or something equivalent. Seek help if you don’t feel better pretty soon.

Where did all these flies come from? They are smaller than usual and all of them act like they are trying out for the circus. Aerial acrobatics are their specialty, swooping and diving at a Human’s nose seems to delight them the most. The “42” players keep a flyswatter handy and seem to delight in plastering a good swat on the opponent’s arm or shoulder if a fly is spotted nearby. Revenge -- perhaps!?? Actually, the smell from the grain next door to the Center may be the lure that draws those pesky little rascals to come visiting.Hopefully the little pests will tire of trapeze hoop-deloops soon and leave us alone.
