Nope those were the true temperatures. And yes its hot, hot , hot.

Just glad since school is starting in many areas that most have air.
Its really weird its been mostly nice all summer till now.

hi everyone.

Its the weekend again.. Its been nice week, and probably will be returning
to a hot weekend. We will see. Derrick and I are planning to garage
sale. We really enjoy it. The dogs will go too. They like to go too.

I'm getting busy with work again, thanks to schools either starting or
getting ready to this week.

Donna

Its been a heat advisory for the last three days. And its been hot.
So today its rained and rained. Then this afternoon we lost the
electricity for 3 hours. Its back as you can see now.

I've been busy with work. Its nice being needed.

Donna

Donna,
I just read that you have a PT Cruiser.
My daughter has one too. I think I've only seen 2 other ones locally in our area. It's getting old now, but such a handy vehicle. Very bad on the U turns though as it is long bodied. Back seats come totally out and can move pieces of furniture in the back. That was why she got it originally as she was buying old pieces and upcycling.

Sorry you're dealing with the heat being so bad. We are still technically in winter but only had about a couple of weeks reprieve from the tropical heat. Ugh, I dread the summer heat this year coming.

HI lara nice to see from you!
you're an aussie right. Did the koala bears die due to the fires last year, any way to know how many were saved too.
The summer has been a hot one here.The whole world has been hotter.
((((hugs))))

Hi bizi,
yes, I'm Australian.

It's been a while, but the last stats I read were from WWF but i don't want to post the link because of distressing images.

<><3 Billion animals (mammals, reptiles, birds, and frogs) were killed or displaced.

143 million mammals,
2.46 billion reptiles,
181 million birds,
and 51 million frogs occupied areas hit by the fires.>>>

An unprecedented tragedy and it was all so quickly totally forgotten because of the wretched virus. Unbelievably sad.

There are many Koala rescue hospitals and organisations and they tried their best in extreme circumstances.

I have since moved, but the area where I had been living was surrounded by pristine rain forest and even that was on fire. Fortunately a lot of that has recovered quite well and is regenerating.

I was watching recent footage of the fires up the west coast and into Canada. It was so hard to believe. I had travelled in some of those areas in Winter, so the landscape looked totally different.

P.S. I posted this on the pet forum a while back.

Yes Lara
I have a red PT cruiser its being driven right now by my Daughter in law
Kortni so my Granddaughter Harmony can get to preschool. I also have
have my mom's old dodge stratus that my husband also bought from
her estate for me when she passed. So that is what I am driving.

I love both vehicles. But its not possible to drive two at a time so i am
happy to loan one to her so she can get her to preschool.

She has had bad luck with buying vehicles.

Donna

You are a very generous mother, grandmother, wife and worker..
You seemed to have a heart that just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
