My house is 90 degrees.

Thus why we grilled tonight and will crock or salad it tomorrow.
Also why me and the tweedles spent most of the day in nice shady parks.
This morning we went to Nall Park to kick it old school.  Old school like concrete tunnels, swings, and the only local merry-go-round that hasn't been removed.  
That merry-go-round is a nostalgia thing I love sharing with my kids.  There are so many ways to look at the world spinning on one of those things.  You can stand facing in, looking across.   You can sit in the middle looking out, but not feeling the pull as much.  You can lay down and look up and watch the trees & clouds spin.  You can turn sideways and watch where you are going or where you have been.  There are so many different views of the same space from a merry-go-round.  It's a great lesson in perspective, and empathizing with different points of view.
The concrete tunnels are great too.  We went over, and under, and slid down them sideways.  It's a great hiding place in the cool, damp undersides.  It's also a great choo-choo train riding on top.  Sometimes it's good to kick it old school.
