In almost 30 years of teaching, this was definitely a FIRST--at 10:30 this morning, our school district dismissed students and teachers due to the high heat index projected for later today. Many schools in the east did this yesterday, and we followed suit today. Holy Kielbasa Batman, what next? Needless to say, the KIDZ at home were really glad to see me: Jeddie, Patcha and Burns raced around in joy, then came inside and crashed. Forest and Brando were not as thrilled: I left them kenneled under a big pine tree for a couple of hours (so the others could have their house time.) To show their displeasure, they pooped & peed all through that kennel--they NEVER do that. Jealous munchkins! Up here on the mountain, the temp never even reached 90--but it is humid and there are TORNADO warnings till 10 pm. Curiouser and curiouser. . .
