Gratitude Monday: cooling off


We’re definitely in the Dog Days here in the District They Call Columbia. It is the second half of August, after all, and this is only to be expected. We’ve got temps in the 90s and humidity right up there alongside. Whatever gullywashers of storms we get don’t ever seem to break the heat.

Summer is the price we pay, after all, for the glories of Spring and Autumn.

So here are two things I’m grateful for today: central air conditioning and ice. My bog-standard fridge-freezer doesn’t have an ice maker, and I grumble about having to fill ice trays like my ancestors did. But being able to drink ice-cold beverages in a cooled house on hot days is a wondrous thing, and I’m deeply thankful for it.
