How much hotter can it possibly get?

Listen to this one.  It is so hot that The Capital Weather Gang from the Washington Post, actually had a contest so people could "name that heat wave".   

Really.   And the winner was - Sweat Ceiling. This was submitted first by @rlintott on Twitter yesterday morning. The close runner-up? Helter Swelter.

No offense to @rlintott but now really.  Sweat Ceiling?     There must be some joke in there that I am missing.   I rather like the runner up however.

I was just too hot to even vote.   If I had, I would call it Bob's Summer of Hell.    

My Mom was walking a dog today and accidently laid her wrist against the front door of the doggie's house and yipes..... Mom burned herself on the door.  Not even on the metal part.  On the wooden part.    Now that is hot.  

Here is a wonderful tip for doggies who may have to walk around on hot pavement - check out Musher's Secret Wax

   


I think this sounds like a wonderful product to have on hand, Summer and Winter.   Here is what we discovered when we flew over to their web place:

Just spread a thin coating on the pads and between the toes for protection from freezing pavement, salt and chemicals and to prevent snowballing.
All-season paw protection for your dog Made from 100% natural waxes Protect your dog from:
• Salt and Chemicals
• Ice build-up
• Snowballing
• Sand and sandburn
• Hot pavement
• Rough terrain
Helps heal cracked paws and abrasions caused by cactus, rocks, broken glass, dryness, and more.

This sounds like a perfect solution for me because I have very delicate toes, so after I get my much over-due Mani-Pedi next week, I am going to have my Mom rub some of this stuff all over my toesies so I don't get burns from hot pavement.    Not that I walk around on hot pavement all that much, but you can never tell when the opportunity will come up.

And besides.  I am betting it smells good too.    I am going to write to these people and ask them about that.  I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, stay as cool as you possibly can.   Drink lots of water and lay around in front of a fan if you can find one.

Love and Licks,

Bob
