Scared me.

The last time I went out, before just now, I saw Sam lying, in the grass.  She... looked dead.  I had whistled.  She hadn't stirred.  I really thought, maybe, she was dead.  As I approached, she woke.  Bones and fur, but with her mind and personality intact.  She decided it was too warm out there, and followed me in.  Yes, I keep water, and food, out there for her.  Even for a summer girl, either the speed of the heat increases, this particular day, or something, got to her.  Usually she won't come in.

I went out, just to look and see.  Something seemed... strange.  There had been clouds, floating through, by.  Big ones, some with potential, but far too scattered.  I didn't think much would come of it.  But they are gathering.  Wind has picked up.  The temp has dropped sixteen points, or more, to 80.  I still don't think we will get much, if anything.  But the cooling is appreciated.

With heat now, and electric bills rising in general, I am being very careful with things.  Even turning off one monitor, for the computer, when I play games.  I would shut the machine down, but it takes a while to load.  Same with the router.  I am keeping lights to a minimum.  Even though I have replaced all with low watt led's or such.  They still kick out some heat.  And, they still use some energy.  Fans will go, as heavily and often as needed, same with ac.  If, generally, I don't seem to need it while awake.  Just to sleep.  Some complain that ac's are loud.  Exactly!  They drown out all other noises!  I can hear trains, and trucks, cars, and motorcycles, from half the valley away.  Usually can sleep with that anyway, but would rather not.

Oh... I was filling my glucose/sugar tab tubes.  The smell!  I can smell those like an animal can smell blood.  I might even get an insulin response just from the smell, as I do with artificial sweeteners, just from the taste in spite of having no carbs!  Oh... I... have to be careful.  Addicted, it's the only word for it.  

With it cooler outside, than in the front room, I have the door open.  An experiment.  Not sure if that will end up heating the whole house, or cooling this room.  It had gotten to 83, here near the computer.  Nope, looks like it started to heat the place.  Now I know.  No matter what common sense says, sometimes you just gotta try the peculiar.  You never know, you really don't.  Like the door, helping the upstairs stay much cooler, open rather than closed.  Very peculiar, as cold air falls.  And, when I have tried it before, it failed.  If I may have had the vent to the room below closed?  All I know is... what should make sense that way, didn't.  This time.  It did for the front door, however.  Bleh.  Live and learn.

I am beginning to feel like a steam trout though.  If... you or I could imagine what such might feel like, if it could feel.  A lot of if's and imagining.  Later.
