jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 July 15, 2006 Loving Skyfest...not loving the Texas heat and humidity. When we got off the plane on Thursday, the flight attendant was walking up the ramp with us and she said, "Welcome to Texas, it's hot, humid, and stinky." Thank goodness there are some really super nice people here!!!!Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All 6 cats are laying bellies to the sky, sprawled out on their backs, in front of the fans. One, Simon, pants like a dog at times...and he is panting now. I've put ice into their water dishes, but it doesn't help... Can't help but laugh when the cats go belly up, though. Too funny. Ciels- Michele __________________________________ That's rough, having just fans. I guess, it beats the alternative. I've been doing the same thing... ice cubes in our dog's water. I'll tell you what, this has been a tough summer all over this country. I feel bad for folks without fans or air conditioning. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The downside would be you'd have to deal with us Canukians! 'Shell _______________________________________ I haven't met a Canuk yet, I didn't like! It'd sure beat the heck out of all this heat. If, Canada wasn't so far from here... I'd jump on that offer. Chuck If you haven't met a Canuck yet, then you sure don't want to start with me! We're not that far away .... aren't you guys just next door??? 'Shell ______________________________________ I've met a lot of Canuks and they were all good folks and were real kind to me. Now that you mention it... we are neighbors! That, was a kind offer you made. You can't be all that bad. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
