It is the last day of June 2013, I spent the past two days focusing on reviewing so that I could purchase another 1-month premium membership. I succeeded! My writing.com membership expires on July 31, 2013. I am not as tired this morning as I was yesterday morning, but that is because this morning when my alarm went off at 4:00 am I turned it off, took my thyroid medication, and went back to sleep. I go back to my regular 11:00 pm bedtime tonight instead of the 12:30 am bedtime. Helter swelter, the homeless need a summer shelter because of extreme heat warnings. The last two day I have gotten online between 4:00 am and 12:00 pm. One reason for this is afternoon temperatures between 110 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Another reason is going to bed at 12:30 am and getting up at 4:00 am, I had to take an afternoon nap. June is almost over, but the extreme heat warning remains in effect until Monday or Tuesday. After that the temperatures are supposed go down to more reasonable degrees between 105 through 109 Fahrenheit, at least in Las Vegas. The June 30, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" ![]() Have you ever been in snowball fights? Were they good or bad experiences? On the last day of June, I would enjoy a snowball fight, I would enjoy getting hit in the face by an ice cold snowball while standing in the shade of an oak tree in triple digit temperatures, wondering why I was ignoring the extreme heat warning just to get hit in the face by a snowball. The last time I was in a snowball fight was when I was a child in Blackwell, Oklahoma. One of my sibling, hit me in the face with a snowball. At the time I did not like the experience. However, after the past couple of days in Las Vegas, experiencing extreme heat warnings and an outdoor temperature of 115 degrees, I am reassessing the experience. I have decided that the problem with snowball fights is that they happen in winter when temperatures are below 50 degrees. Snowball fights would be much more pleasant and welcome in summer when the temperatures rise over 100 or 110 degrees. The June 28, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" ![]() What historical events happened the year you were born? According to historyorb.com,1 420 historical events happened in 1946. I am going to list one or two for each month (except December which has three events). These are the events that I found most interesting. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thought of the Day: "Study history, study history.
