Stay Cool

This morning Lily and I walked while the shadows were long, at 6:30. I soaked my head and wore my straw hat and sunglasses. Downtown was deserted, Edward Hopper barren. The trick for staving off heat panic is hiding underneath the heat. I do this is by swimming laps or sitting in front of the fan with wet hair. Lily had a slight limp this morning but as my friend Charles said while he was recovering from his stroke motion is lotion and after walking a bit she was fine. My guess is her left hip got sore when she slept on the floor to stay cool instead of sleeping on her bed.
