Too Cool

Picture it, Sicily 1916. The weather in the Northern Territory is heating up. We are now in the middle of the “Build Up”. For those southerners who don’t understand, the build up is a terminology that locals use which relates to the weather and its humidity.

The humidity is the key factor and quite a dirty word at the moment. Many try different ways to stay cool and one that we are quite renowned for is the consumption of alcohol. That is one effective means and one that I quite often use. However the purchases of fans in any shape or form to blow some sort of air your way is the cheap option out if you can not afford the luxury of air-conditioning.

Upon my travels back and forth to the bottle-o I pass amusement with the site of one of our neighbor’s antics as a good member of the animal kingdom. Opting to live outdoors this creature is not immune to the humidity level. However even the kind relatives that he has, treat him with the honor and respect that one of such a caliber should expect, as our bloody neighbors have a desk fan directed into their dog’s kennel…..
