It is hot today

Here is a typical hot day photo. The temperature here is 104 degrees. We keep this old thermometer inside, but I took her outside for the photo today.
They used to give these away as advertisements in the 1940s. This one came from Landucci Bros., groceries, fruits, liquors, delicacies; 3639 Hopkins St., Oakland, Calif.

She is certainly dressed appropriately for the weather.

  1. That is a wonderful thermometer!

    Sigh. She has a waistline. I suppose that's what lounging around on a crescent moon will do for you. There isn't much mood on the moon, or so I've heard.

  2. Food. I meant food, not mood.

    Freudian slip?

  3. Everybody knows the moon is made of green cheese.

  4. If that is what green cheese can do...
    I love those old posters. I am sure they would be considered too daring for today's PC world!

  5. I vote for a green cheese diet too if it works like that!
