95 In the Shade




Yes!! It is hot outside. Yesterday it was 119 degrees in parts of the San Fernando Valley - planes can't land or take off in heat like this. I keep thinking about my childhood in the Arizona desert and all of the heat survival tips have come back to me. It helps!

I also think of people living in war-torn Middle East, including our soldiers. It would be a hellish summer in peace time, but now it is truly hell. Bottom line, though, is survival. Staying alive and my prayers are for those who are weak, too old, too young and too unlucky. I pray they get a little grace and survive.

One Hot Minute
-Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I was riding
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
We're so alike

Am I all alone

She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss

Am I all alone

One hot minute
And I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it

Am I all alone

Close your eyes
And click your heels
Can you believe
How good it feels

Am I all alone

One hot minute
And I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it

I might waste it
Come and get it
I might waste it
Come and get it

Am I all alone

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon
And eat the sun

Sitting in the fire
A tiny wink is all
All we have
No it's not much more
But don't get mad

Am I all alone

Three lbs. of love
Inside my skull
A million more lives
It's never dull
Just a few times spun
Spun around the sun
A couple more or less
And then were done

May all beings know love and peace.
