Summertime is in full swing here in Northwest Washington State.
The sun is shining, and temps are in the 80s to lower 90s. Higher in locations south of me, but the relatively cooler temps are still uncomfortable for me (I was born and raised in Western Washington, and I start to melt at 70 degrees).
Wildfires from our neighbors to the north (British Columbia)have spread smoke throughout the region, causing health issues for those like me (who are recovering from bronchial pneumonia). The smoke is so bad, that even the trees across the street from my house are viewed through a gray haze.
Burn bans are in effect throughout the region, despite the best efforts of folks to deliberately set fires. I've already seen a brush fire in the median of the highway I drive to and from work on, and I've heard of a deliberately-set fire south of my, near the Deception Pass Bridge (the only roadway off of Whidbey Island).
On the plus side, I was able to wear two of my kilts to work this week (don't get me started about the whole "it's a skirt" thing), and I was able to get some exercise in at the office before the smoke became an issue. I'd love to wear one of my kilts again tomorrow (as the temperature, locally, is expected to be in the 90s), but they both need washing and ironing, and I don't have the effort in me to do either.
Stay cool out there!
kilts are not skirts lol. Kilts rock!
ReplyDeleteKilts are definitely NOT skirts. There are those, though (usually those who are not of Celtic extraction, or those who have never worn a kilt), that look at kilts as "skirts for men". Those few detractors also tend to look at kilts as "guys dressing as gals". Guys dressing as gals is called being a transvestite, and has nothing to do with donning apparel to celebrate ones Celtic heritage. Besides, kilts are VERY comfortable in hot weather.
