Happy 110th Birthday!

110 years ago today, Willis H. Carrier invented what would become the modern-day air conditioner.

I am eternally grateful.

The man was a genius.

What I Saw - Sunday Afternoon - July 15, 2012

 With all the hit-and-miss showers this afternoon, some folks kept an umbrella handy, just in case.

And this pooch wore his rain slicker - just in case.

 Three fishing rods and a paddle . . . 

He actually caught a fish while I was there.

 One sentinel and three swimmers

And then the sentinel swam away, too.
