24/Jun/23 waiting

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Tonya and the Big Guy left the house around 7 am yesterday.

Bonnie dropped by a few times to put me outside.

I was really happy to see her.

Then, I was all alone.

I laid on the floor and listened to the noises the house makes.

It was also warm.

Right now, it's +14.

But they are forecasting for the high to be +30 today.

That's warm.

I bet the Big Guy is going to be drinking a lot of water today.

He will have to go find the fan.

Otherwise, he will have to be at work, topless.

Not that it's a big deal for men to be topless.

It is legal for women to be topless in Canada.

They just decided not to go topless.

Some people used to shave down their dog thinking it would be cooler for them.

I bet they didn't know, it doesn't matter if you shave down your dog.

We pant to cool off.

Also, we soak our paws in cool water.

Being outside in a breeze goes a long way to cooling us off.

Also, not being in the direct sun.

My coat is mostly black.

That heats up quickly.

23/Jun/23 no pictures please

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It was warm yesterday.

The Big Guy will never say that it was hot outside.

The fans have been turned on.

Tonya wants the Air Conditioner put into the bedroom window.

The Big Guy was out mowing the lawn yesterday.

Before he mowed the lawn, he did trim the front hedge.

Last year, they had to hire someone to do that for them.

Last year, that same person cut the Big Guy's extension cord.

This year, the Big Guy has lost over 60 pounds and is able to do his own yard work.

He doesn't cut extension cords.

His grandfather had an extension cord that had been repaired so often.

Not because of the Big Guy though.

He used to get $2.00 when he would mow a lawn.

Now, you can't hire any kids that want to earn a dollar.

They would rather plan video games.

Then again, today's parents will give them money without them earning it.

I'm not sure if the Big Guy would let anyone else use his lawn tractor anyways...

22/Jun/23 less daylight now

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

So, now the sun will be showing itself for less each day until we get to Winter.

You would think, the days should of been getting warmer and by the time the sun was shining the longest, the days would be hot outside.

It was warm out yesterday.  

Actually +25.

But now the days are going to start getting hotter.

People will be walking their dogs less and less during the heat of the day.

Now it will be early morning, or later in the evening.

At least smart people will do that.

Dogs will want to be with their human.

Even if their paws are being burnt by walking on the hot sidewalk.

I've got some longer fur on the bottom of my paws.

It would offer me some protection if I were to be walked on the hot sidewalk.

I heard the Big Guy is going to be doing some painting today.

I wonder if he is going to be doing some BBQ today?

Hot dogs would be nice if he does.

21/Jun/23 longest day of the year

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Some people say that today, the 1st day of Summer, is the longest day of the year.

This is wrong.

There is 23 hours and 56 minutes in a day.

That hasn't changed in a long time.

This is why we have a correction on February 29th once every 4 years.

Now, if people said this is the most sunlight our planet will get on this day, that would also be wrong.

The people in the Southern continents, this is their Winter and it's the day with the least amount of sunlight.

So it does balance.

It would be correct today, in the Northern Hemisphere of our planet, this day has the sun, the longest above the horizon.

Seems very wordy.

OK, it's the longest day of the year.

Humans...

Weirdos...

Where is my kibble and water?

Oh yea, and please take me for a walk.

Those are my two biggest concerns.

As far as the sun being above the horizon today...  horray...
