Supposed to be a hot one tomorrow

Supposed to be a good hot one in the upper Midwest tomorrow.  Here in Minneapolis it's supposed to be up close to 100 tomorrow.

In Iowa the various cities are opening up cooling centers and are advising residents to be careful about the heat. 

One of the local stations asked how well prepared the Minnesota power grid is for the heat. 

Quote

Here in Minnesota, we are part of the Eastern Interconnection, one of three sections of “the grid.”

The Eastern Interconnection includes nearly half of the United States.

Kevin Lee with the Department of Commerce’s energy resources division says utilities and operators can basically draw energy from this entire region during times of high usage.

“If you have a large event in one particular area that is producing a lot of demand, you may be able to compensate for that by bringing in energy from an area that is not experiencing that same event,” Lee explains.

In other words Minnesota won't be as fornicated as Abattoir land was or is when extreme weather hits the power grid.

My watch says it's 88° out right now.  Finally broke down, closed the windows, and turned the AC on.  Only the second time I've run it for any length of time.

Stay comfy!

Thank you!  Now it's 90° out.  AC works pretty good.  I have it set to 76° so I'm wondering now if my sister in law and my nieces would be grumbling that it's too warm at my place.  Parents have the house set at 76° and last summer my sister in law said that was too warm so I snuck it down to 73° and the girls seemed to be happier but mom grumbled it was too cold then.  I might actually turn it up a few degrees because it almost seems too cold in here.

I think I actually inherited my mom's temperature tolerances - she likes it warmer and I'm finding that after VSG surgery I like it a bit warmer too.  Or maybe it was just growing up without AC.

      This is how Karissa saves money. It’s all pretty eyeroll worthy to me. If you want to save tons of money, stop having kids. That’s the biggest money saver of all.

      Y'know what also helps to save money? Making more than a living wage.  If someone isn't bringing in enough money to cover their expenses no amount of "stop eating avocado toast" is going to allow someone to save. Say hi to Shaq for me.

      It’s crazy to me that she openly admits to drinking an mlm weight loss supplement while pregnant with her 11th.

      I often figure most of these teen fundie brides wanted to go to prom and their wedding is their prom. 

      That makes sense.

      Honestly this picture reminds me of the time we stopped at a TGI Friday’s somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Maryland driving back from Hershey Park when I was maybe 13 and there was a couple in their late 20s maybe at the table next to my family that was clearly on a date night. She was in a black maxi dress that perfectly framed the large butterfly tattoo on her upper back and had her hair curled and a full face of makeup on and he was in a button up plaid shirt and jeans and cowboy boots.

      At first I was like they’re really having fancy date night at TGI Friday’s? And then it occurred to me that this was bumfuck MD and that’s what they had to work with.

    • I meant to put this in a couple of weeks ago but I dreamt about the Mortons and in it Kress was talking about her parents and said "Why do you think we moved to Paraguay.... to get away from them!" I woke up soon after and decided that was probably pretty accurate.  They moved before Katie's divorce but I wouldn't be surprised if Kress and Rachel had been very happy to leave them and Alan behind.

      If there’s any benefit of the doubt to be had here- I’m wondering if this is some sort of attempt at a “prom night” since he’s dressed up as well and I had friends that went to Longhorn Steakhouse before prom.
