Close, we have some cold (for us) days in winter, every few years we also get a dusting of snow, but it’s more like hot and hotter.

There are times I miss those New England summers of yore but then I just look at what’s happened to Connecticut over the last 50 years and the heat and humidity don’t seem so oppressive.

Odd modern dancing to open a 35 mile tunnel. Funnier was the less than exciting speech by the Swiss host, who babbled so long and slowly that he almost missed seeing the train come through with the fireworks going off. Yeah, moving freight and tourists through the mountain is diaboloical (eyeroll).
However, there are all kinds of fables and stories of the mountains, and many are of course pagan, which have been adapted / adopted by Christianity. For example, there used to be a custom of writing protective spells on doors to protect the inhabitants from evil spirits. There were three local deities associated with this, with the leader Perchta, a goddess whose day was celebrated January 6. This was then replaced by the visits of the three kings on that day, who would bless the house and use chalk to mark the year and their initials (B, C, M). Today, men dress as the three kings and collect for charities on that day, and also mark the homes as a signal to other trios of kings that this house has already given! It is a lovely tradition.

It is pretty harsh rhetoric, and the Freep is a liberal newspaper, but this is the heart of his concern, and it may have some merit, although I don’t know that the motives that he cites are correct (I will have to take a look):
The Senate’s version of Detroit schools legislation includes a Detroit Education Commission, an authority to manage both public and charter school sitings and openings, and to bring at least a measure of performance accountability to the city schools landscape. It’s a watered-down version of what a broad-based coalition for Detroit schools recommended last year, but it’s an important step toward rationality.
The House version guts that idea, relegating the DEC to an advisory role. Why? Because charter advocates fear the accountability it would bring to their operations. For 26 years, they’ve operated in Detroit essentially without performance-based oversight, and they’ve delivered, as a whole, on none of their promise. There are a few standout examples, but charter schools, collectively, have moved the needle an inch on a scale that is many feet long. Their outcomes are a smidgen better than the traditional public schools’ much-decried academic struggles.
In other words, he believes that the Detroit schools (including charters) need oversight by an independent authority, and the legislators he is angry with have watered down that authority. I tend to agree with him, as the Detroit Public Schools Board, and the union union (Detroit Federation of Teachers) have been breathtakingly bad in their management of the education of Detroit students. I admit I don’t know much about the charter schools at the moment. The Detroit schools must not be given millions of dollars (again) to piss away without oversight.
I’ll check into this, and let you know what I think about it.

I was never good at restraining myself, keeping quiet, when I would get stirred up by something. I did not have a calm, composed personality. I had a vicious tongue, and I used it in vicious ways. I also felt good, because it was like power. When I finally gave my will over to God, that has been one of the main corrections I have experienced. I kept seeing those verses from James 3 everywhere, especially verse 6: “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” “Set on fire by hell” are really strong words.
I look back in horror at the things I said to people in the past, people I saw as enemies, and worse, people I love. I may as well have had a knife and stabbed them in the heart. Resisting the temptation will go on until the day I die. I still fail, but I hope grace has worked to change it.

Okay, here’s the opposing editorial in the Detroit News:
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/editorials/2016/06/01/editorial-dps-deal-best-detroit-kids/85262706/
The chambers remain divided over how far the legislation should go to in controlling how Detroit’s charter schools open and where they locate. Many in the charter community are concerned about the Senate’s version of the DEC, which would help set the benchmark for measuring quality and work with the state’s School Reform Office to decide which schools close. [Detroit] Mayor Mike Duggan would appoint all members on the commission.
The House left out the DEC, and the latest compromise talks would offer a voluntary, advisory board that could coordinate school openings and put together a master education plan for Detroit.
That would be more palatable to charter supporters and many Republicans who’ve voiced their concerns about limiting school choice in the effort to keep DPS more financially stable.
I’ll keep looking!

How did we survive?
1. Our sandwiches contained leftover roast chicken, we didn’t have fridges in classrooms or ice bricks in our lunch boxes, but we didn’t get food poisoning.
2. We rode bikes without helmets, adult supervision or bike paths, but we mostly ended up with scarred knees.
3. Our mothers wiped our faces with spit on a hanky not an antibacterial wipe.(This one is probably my favorite because spit was my method for any dirt on my kids faces or hair that refused to lay down.lol)
4. When our teachers would whack us we wouldn’t tell our parents for fear of getting punished again, so we avoided trouble in the first place.
5. We went to camp without 18 forms to be signed and witnessed.
6. As toddlers we rode in supermarket shopping carts without padded cart liner thingys.
7. Generally, we went to the closest school, not the best one.
8. Helping with the washing up was as important as homework.
9. When a kid was injured, people felt sorry for her parents. They didn’t ask what the hell were they thinking letting her climb that tree anyway.
10. Cubby houses were built by kids not bought at ToysRUs.
11. If you did badly on a test, you got a talking to not a cuddle.
12. A pocket knife was a perfectly acceptable gift for a 10-year old.
13. If anyone got air conditioning in their bedroom it was mom and dad.
14. Family holidays came before kids’ sporting schedules.
15. A playdate was walking to a friend’s house, ringing the doorbell and saying, “Can Cathy come out to play?”

I didn’t learn my lesson though and it was shortly after I kept begging to shoot his double barrel shotgun, it produced the same results. Tough lessons taught me to pay attention to instructions on how to properly hold them. Without the bruise to my chest/shoulder and rear I would have continued to be stubborn and not listened.

My totally unscientific opinion on why people weren’t collapsing from heat in the old days is that they weren’t faced with sudden 40-degree temperature differentials every time they walked outside. The differential is thought to be the source of “ice cream headache”; you don’t get it eating ice cream when it is cold, only when it is hot. Makes sense to me that it would cause overheating collapses too.

I think air conditioning plays a huge part and also folks sit around in A/C all week and then on the weekend decide to go out in the hottest part of the day and do manual labor which they also aren’t accustomed to.
Plus we had more sense and knew to find shade and drink something cold to cool us off, well some of us still do. lol
I’ll never forget an A/C guy telling me one time about these folks whose A/C was out and he goes into their house where the thermostat is pegging as high as it will go. They had ceiling fans throughout the entire house and not a single one was on and neither was a window open.
He couldn’t fix their air conditioning because it needed a new compressor. So he tells them the price to put in a new compressor vs the price to put in a new air conditioner and one day to get a new A/C and 2 to 3 days to order and get in a new compressor. He said they freaked and said they’d die they needed it fixed now and couldn’t wait until the next day and certainly not 3 days. He then told them they could drop the temperature in the house by probably a good 20 degrees if they opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fans.
He said they then looked at him with a puzzled look and said, “we didn’t think about that.”
My humble opinion is if you’re that stupid you kind of deserve to die from a heat stroke.

I use my ceiling fans with A/C. That way you don’t have to set the temp so low.

Our ceiling fans are on year round, just reversed in the winter to help push the heat down.
I guess because much of my life I didn’t live with air conditioning, I can live without it. We don’t even start using A/C until it gets well into the 90’s. I like having the windows open.

Getting hot, getting cold, cooling off or warming up?
I don’t mind getting hot, sweat is good for you and makes it possible to stuff yourself with all the fresh food and not gain an ounce. lol
I did just that tonight with grilled pork chops, grilled taters, onions and squash and steamed peas. I even found just enough ripe blackberries to make a blackberry cobbler for dessert topped with homemade ice cream.
Good thing we had company for supper to help eat all of it.

I’m pretty sure that if we survive the looming Clinton presidency, st some point in the future historians and the few literate Americans left will look at the Bill and Hillary periods with the same wonderment they do Hitler’s appointment in 1933 and election as president in 1934. That was the beginning of the end for democracy in Germany and the election of the kleptocrats, it just had to wait for Hillary in 2016 here as too many people still had a bad taste in their mouthes from Bill’s eight years.
The White House will return to the hands of the First Kleptocrats – expect to see a midnight massacre as Hillary replaces the POtuS’s BGI-centered legal-beagle-bureaucrats with the same group that greased thevskids for their 90s monetary windfalls. Let’s see if drug imports and use increases under her as much as it did Bill while agencies dedicated to protecting us from illegal drugs, such as they are, will be refunded and/or retasked.

Louis Gohmert spoke about the transgender movement at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Conference today. This is the article he quoted. Johns Hopkins was the first to do the transgender operations, and they quit doing them years ago because the statistics showed that it doesn’t solve anything.

Can’t help but wonder what Hillary’s opening shot against nonsupporters will be, how will she announce there’s a new kleptocrat in da Houzzzzeeeeee? Bill had Waco, killing some 75 men, women and children as an announcement that resistance issss fuuuuttttiiillleeeee (for Hitchhiker fans). Gotta be some compound of non-progs the anti-death penalty, pro-abortion crowd can fine tune their situationsl ethics to accept its slaughter. Hillary should have few limitations – no Jews ( just yet), no Latino/black targets…hmmmmm, sorta runnin’ outta options here. Probabaly not a good time to be a Branch Davidian or other non-major Rat voting bloc member.
