Still Cool Here

The other day it was hot as hell in Niles. Actually, it wasn’t that hot but it was warm enough that when I got in my car, I used the air conditioning. That day, I had to print off my resumes and cover letters for some court positions that opened up. The Niles library has a laser printer which is better than using the ink jet one at home. The district, circuit, and probate courts each needed to clerk so I am hoping that I’ll get one of them. Applications needed to be handed into the personnel department at the admin building. Since the county seat in Saint Joseph, I had to make the drive up there. When I left Niles, it was warm but when I opened my door up in Saint Joseph, the outside air was cooler than the air inside my car. That’s how much of a temperature drop there was moving towards Lake Michigan. Before heading back inland, I went to the beach to enjoy nature’s free air conditioning. If your beach plans did not include getting into the water, then that day was a great day to go.

It will still be a while before the Lake is warm enough to swim in. But I’ll be in there as soon as I can. I couldn’t spend enough time there last summer. Given the gas prices, I probably won’t be going there as often unless I can get some people to chip in. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to find someone.
