The thing about the hot weather though, is that it slows you down. The mental faculties stop working so well. Witness: I have retrieved my car keys from inside the deep freeze and David's tennis shoes in the last few days.
And the thing about men, especially husbands, is that they can sniff out this weakness. They might not be able to see a dirty sock in the middle of the bedroom floor for three weeks straight, but they can see their wives' mental facilities start to fade within a nanosecond of it happening.
And so began Saturday morning. A record breaking day for heat and humidity. At least it felt like it. There's no need for you to go into the archives and tell me that the real record-breaking heat was in 1938 which means that global warming is just some kind of fallacy perpetrated by David Suzuki and a left wing think tank. Global warming's the truth.
Deal with it.
Hmmm...
Okay, so where was I?
Right, heat and mental faculties.
David, sensing the moment was right to strike, casually asked me on Saturday morning if I would let him have a smoker. A Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. Now, contemplate that statement if you would. If I said, "No," I would be in danger of being a petty-minded family dictator. If I said, "Yes," we would be in possession of the (possibly only) kitchen/cooking gadget David doesn't own. Seriously. Rock, meet hard place.
Exhibit One
Needless to say, David is now in possession of his (very last, plead to the kitchen god's wife) own smoker.
Today he tried it out and, like a man, decided to double the recommended amount of hickory for the spare ribs. Let's just say the entire
Seriously, this heat wave better end before he starts working on his "Why I need a motorcycle" pitch. A wife can only take so much heat.
2 Heard through the grapevine:
Global warming IS a fallacy. The high today and tomorrow is 20C.
SFD -- I'm going to choose to think that you're just rattling my cage. :-)
