Summer has airburst across the Emerald City.
The famous NYC tropical heat has come.
Temps not bad just around 80f/26c but the humidity adds tens degrees.
As a kid I used to sleep through the heat in our basement…it was 20 degrees cooler.
My dad smoothed the walls with plaster which insulated it.
Then he built a vast model railroad layout down there.
So I stayed in the train cave. All the kids on the block hung out too.
My Hogwarts train was decades away but we had Lionel and Hornby.
I loved my dad.
I can’t stand heat waves. They’re slowly but surely turning this place into a desert like the barrel-bedizened bottom of Lake Mead. What a great great escape into coolness and an alternate and thoroughly improved universe you had.
ReplyDeleteWe didn’t have a train set, but my dad was great too.

I'm happy you had a good dad. It matters. Bless you both.
