Fan Failure

Heard a loud pop outside around 8 am, and then the electricity went out.
It was out for about half an hour. Tearing myself away from the computer, I jumped into the pool.

Keeping Cool and Healthy on a Hot Day

Just read an article of the 50th healthiest foods. Fruits made the head of the list.  Quickly deseeded half a yellow watermelon, added a bag of frozen raspberries, a quarter cup of honey and a few bananas. Five shots of vodka as a preservative (can't smell it in this mixture). A few shots of Amaretto. for additional flavor. I suppose I could have done without the preservative vodka.  It's not going to last that long.
