It's been very hot here lately. No doubt it's the same where you are, unless you happen to be in the North or South Pole sitting on a block of ice taking photos of the environment around you. In which case you'll develop polaroids.
Anyway, it's been about 33*C in the shade over here. I stayed out of the shade.
The weather announcer in a bikini said it'll get warmer. I don't think weathermen should wear bikinis, do you? In fact no men should wear a bikini in public. Nor shorts. Over here men wear shorts and sandals and socks. Can you imagine? Sandals with socks.
When it gets this hot people find it difficult to breeze and can get dizzy. This is because the oxygen molecules in the air are further apart when it's hot. So your nose is out there hunting the molecules before someone else gets them first.
The population of the earth is over 8 billion people. That is not counting animals and birds and insects also searching and breathing the oxygen molecules in the air. If the world gets any more crowded, and it gets even hotter, only the tall people will survive because they'll catch the few molecules first as they fall down from the sky. Short people will be in trouble because they can't keep their noses out of peoples' private business.
Scientists predict that the human body will evolve and we'll grow bigger noses to the point we'll all look like elephants. We'll point our trunks up to the sky and compete for the few oxygen molecules floating about. This will make it difficult for those wearing glasses because they won't fit over the bridge of your trunk.
People with turned up noses, like Miss Piggy or that woman in church who looks down at me in disdain, are in further risk, because if it rains they'll probably drown.
Experts say this is a sign of the end of time. The planet is getting warmer, this will melt the ice cap, the sea levels will go up ... and so on ... and on. Personally, I think that if the sea levels go up then more of us will live near the beach and house prices will rocket up.
Here in the UK it got so hot there was a shortage of ice cream.
The birds were using a jack-hammer to dig worms from the
ground and the chickens in our back
yard were laying fried eggs this morning. In our pond the fish were parboiled and ready to eat. The trees were so parched they were fighting over our dog.
I went to the beach to cool off. Have you noticed that when wearing a bikini, women reveal 94% of their body? I was too polite and only looked at the covered parts.
Which raises another point: Is it OK for Christian women to wear bikinis? Or any swimsuits? What does the Bible say about dressing modestly?
How about men in tiny shorts and swimming trunks? What is the acceptable attire on the beach for a Christian? (I wear a three-piece pin-striped suit and a bowler hat.)
How about nudist beaches? Can a Christian be a naturist? (I shower at home fully clothed.)
I think all this heat is melting my brain.
...iot's a tad too hot here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried shorts and sandals without socks. INDOORS?
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
I never understood the old tradition of women wearing long wool bathing suits.
ReplyDeleteWhen the wool absorbed all the water it became heavy and the women could no longer float. But it still begs the question: what is a suitable costume for a "Christian"?
DeleteGod bless, Kathy.
I think it's melting your brain, too, Victor, and your ice cream - LOL! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIce cream? There's no ice cream to be found in the UK right now. God bless, Martha.
Delete:D
ReplyDeleteSo, THIS is why it feels so darn uncomfortable out of doors! Summer is not my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably not being very Christian, but I'm sorely tempted to smack the first person who - come Winter - is bound to complain, "I'm cold."
I really like your sense of humour, Mevely. Smack first, seek forgiveness second. Can't remember who said that. Was it St Paul in one of his many letters? They must have cost him a fortune in postage.
DeleteGod bless.
Victor, you have an incredible imagination, as well as a well-developed sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteAs for modesty in the Bible, some years ago I read an article that had concluded, based on the author's Bible study, that both men and women should not reveal (uncover) anything above the knees, and the top portion of clothing should come to the base of the neck. I don't remember what it said about arms. Current society has thoroughly disregarded anything like that, as we all know!
Thank you, Barbara. My sense of humour keeps me going when my imagination gets too tired to imagine any more.
DeleteAs for modesty. I'm not quite sure what is appropriate these days to wear on the beach. As you say, society has disregarded many standards these days.
God bless.
Well, it is hotter than heck here too. Not sure about an ice cream shortage. I go from one a/c to another. I don't wear bikini's either - I personally think girls should be a little bit more covered.
ReplyDeleteRegarding being more covered; some TV programs over here leave nothing to the imagination.
DeleteGod bless, Sandie.
It's even hot here today at 89 F which is pretty rare where we live.
ReplyDeleteThat's about 32*C - we measure in C to make us think it is cooler.
DeleteGod bless, K.
It certainly has been HOT, and I obviously need more practice at my rain dance, in my part of the UK its not working!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a cooler week this week (Hopefully).
All the best Jan
We certainly need some rain for the garden. Hopefully this week!
DeleteGod bless, Jan.
I am not sure but that my brain melted quite a few summers ago.
ReplyDeleteUse ice cream as a shampoo!
DeleteGod bless you, Mimi.
I enjoyed your explanation on the oxygen molecules in the air. 🤣.
ReplyDeleteIt’s just natural to be modest as we get older, mainly because we want to hide those parts of our bodies we used to be proud to show off!
How refreshingly honest your comment is, Debby. Good point well made. God bless always.
