Another Day in Paradise

I was out for a Sunday drive ...
...when I happened to come across this testosterone charged event.

Are you coming out for a drink today ?

Not in this heat.
Heck, that makes is more of a reason to drink.
Naw. I prefer to have drinks served to me at my oversized bathtub. 

Turned on My roof sprinkling system around noon.
Water flows down the roof into the gutter, back into the water supply.
And that's how you cool the roof and create plenty of boiling hot water.

Bet the local canals will be crowded tomorrow.
Yes the hot season is on!
Next weekend the feels like temperature is forecast to be 48C (118.4F)

Wear your helmet

Of course there are plenty of exceptions to this law, 
if you know what I mean.

The importance of drinking water (revisited)

I've received dozens of copies of this particular e-mail.
They are all real facts about the importance of drinking water.
The picture associated with this mail detracts from these facts: An overtly endowed buxomly lady, proclaiming "it's the water.
You can see that picture at Google Groups - Funny Mail

The facts of drinking water become even more important in hot and tropical climates.

One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied, in a University study.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

This little message has been like a "Hey stupid" alarm clock.
Sprained my back a week ago. Been in constant misery for a week. Wait a minute, the weather just got real hot a week ago, it adds up. Water diet starts this morning, I have some catching up to do.
For some reason I go through this ritual every year when the temperatures start to rise. You'd think I'd remember!!

What's wrong with this Picture ?

Tony's Re-opening Party

By all reports it was a great success.
Unfortunately I could not personally attend due to a medical condition.

Growing Old

...

...

These photo's where taken in November 2007. This apparent father of one of the players very much demonstrates old age enthusiasm.

Start off full of energy. Enough to cheer on a whole crowd.
As the event progresses, you begin to tucker out.
One final effort while seated.
You drop your arms and look around for someone else to continue the cheer

How Hot Is It ??

Hot enough to decline an invitation to yet another sport day, rush home, close all doors and windows and turn on the Heat Artillery (metaphor)

Local Cops and Bankers Face off !!

Local bank employees and policemen faced each other in a friendly football game, at a local public school as part of a school sport day.

S.BAC students provided the cheerleading, siding with the bank employees

S.W.A.T.

I suppose it is comforting to know that locals have the latest technology available to fight crime. 
It makes you wonder though, is it really needed around here. You can only hope that it's seldom used and more of a preventative educational tool.
