Like living on the SUN
Good citizens of Portland, beginning today and through the weekend, it is going to be “hot! Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking.” Oops, sorry, whenever I think of it being hot, I revert back to Good Morning Vietnam quotes. To be honest though, this weekend may feel like we’re living on the sun. 100+ degrees predicted. Glad it is a weekend. I can wear shorts.
To survive the weekend, here are some suggestions:
1. Carry around a water bottle and stay hydrated.
2. Carry around a water bottle and stay hydrated.
3. Kids, remember, the Sandy and Clackamas rivers are cold and you are not Olympic swimmers. Please limit the Hamm’s intake until after you have dived from High Rocks or Dabney.
4. Go see a movie - and you don’t have to go to the expensive theaters. Check out St. John’s Twin or Acadia (they server beer) or Roseway. I understand Roseway is now fully digital and all cleaned up.
5. Beach or Mt. Hood - I know, with gas prices, you don’t want to drive anywhere, but heck both places promise to be cooler than the city.
6. Clean out your basement. I know you have been putting off cleaning out the basement until winter, but I promise it will be nice and cool down there.
7. Take the kids to Jamison Park in NW - a great water fountain there to frolic in and very kid friendly. A cart there even offers shaved ice!
8. Grab a can of CAMMO and sit on your porch in a wifebeater…….
That’s all I got. I plan on staying in with a fan circulating the air. I know, not too jazzy, but it works for me. Enjoy the weekend.
I pick number 5. Off to Florence in a few hours. Can’t wait.
Re: #8- Sorry to be a stickler, but Camo only has one ‘M’ in it. (Unless you’ve already had one this morning, which would explain seeing double Ms.)
And as much as I hate to say it, you might want to stick to a lighter beer until nap time, THEN bust out the Camo Black Ice. And before passing out? Freeze Nos. 1 & 2 and leave them sitting by your head for when you wake up. You’ll thank me later.
Personally, I’m going to work where it’s a brisk 65, thanks to AC. Later, Hotstuffs!
I pick #6 too, yet in the other direction of Motor. Planning to go up to some swimmin’ hole somewhere and chill out. Thanks for the Camo tips, Charlie!
Ahhhh….you think this is hot do ye? Try 3 consecutive months of 110+…..this is why Texans have loads of guns and have to shoot eachother.
