When Close Isn’t Close Enough

July 22, 2013

Alayne got this shot of Widget late last week, during the worst of the heat wave. Yes, like the previous post with Aurora, the fan was definitely on but the camera managed to "freeze" the blade. Just before Alayne picked up the camera, Widget's ears were flying out further, but then she dropped her head a bit and lost the lift. Widget's view is that while sticking your entire body immediately in front of the fan is okay, central air conditioning would be a lot better. (Not going to happen, Widge.)

Great photo! I’m sure she’d accept a window unit in a special, Widget-only air-conditioned room. If you put a bucket of ice in front of the fan, it will make the breeze cooler. But it will also attract ice-loving dogs and your floor will turn into a puddly mess. Oh well.

Love me some Widget! I can picture her ears flying out to the side like she’d be ready for takeoff 🙂
It’s been such a crazy summer temperature-wise no matter what part of the country we live in. Hope it has gotten cooler up there for all of you!

Tonya and I think alike. A Widget suite with aircon would probably be acceptable, not great but acceptable.

People down here in South Carolina were somewhat smug in laughing at the “heat” wave in the New England states. They forget that you guys up there don’t go from air conditioned car to air conditioned buildings like we do down here. It’s a lot tougher without the a/c.
