WARM REGARDS . . . today we don't need them.

  Family and Friends have kept us informed the past few days—weeks even---about the uncomfortable temperatures they've been subjected to. We can relate. Hot and Humid are not what can be called hospitable companions in a non-air conditioned auditorium. We remember a few such circumstances years ago. High school graduations, indoor band concerts summer theater. Makes one uncomfortable just to think about it.

     So, the other night while watching TV—ubiquitous drawing board on m   my lap---I began to scribble Santas. “That's cool,” I thought. 

c   In a compassionate mood for the aforementioned Family and Friends, I I      decided to send out cold climate Karma These quick pencil sketches ststarted me in the right direction.

 

Naturally, thoughts of soothing snowflakes began to emerge; I hastened to the archives to retrieve some humor centered on the lovely little symbols of winter.

A cool drink always helps alleviate that oppressive heat.

It's quite a stretch, but on

 the other side of the world water is also a hot topic.

Full circle--- back to Santa. I can't contrive a reason for using him in this blog; only to say that I like the drawing, done on my digital tablet some years ago and it never saw the light of day until this warm one.

Stay cool, friends. 

'til soon,

Jim
