NEW SURVIVAL TECHNIQUE: During a heat wave or fights on the reef, clown fish can actually shrink themselves to survive. This is wildly more successful than humans’ tactic for handling heat/conflict resolution—-getting really upset and letting it ruin your day.
—The Morning Brew
I like that one because it reminds me of years ago when Andy and I were riding a train to Paris one hot, sticky evening. A man and a woman started fighting and had to be escorted off. Andy and I figured that wouldn’t have happened if the weather hadn’t been so miserable.
This following cartoon was published before our bombs dropped, and I figured it wasn’t supposed to be a political statement of what to do or not to do. It was sadness at the devastation of war.
Then there is this piece of advice:
Now that the bombing has begun, there’s no telling where this will end.
Be strong. Be safe. Hug your loved ones.

Hugs to you all.

So scary!
Gone rouge without congress and alienated all our allies.
Fingers crossed.
God bless.
🙂
Dreadful scenario unfolding…
Much love to you all…
We will see. 🙁
…and our grandson just arrive in the Middle East!
Sending positive energy and best wishes to your family and grandson.
Yes, fingers crossed!
Hugs to all!
🙂
I’m truly overwhelmed. To bad humans don’t seem able to take the advice in the cartoon.
Yes. 🙁
This cartoon is exactly on point. This is not our war, and even if it was, what happened to congressional approval!
Fingers crossed!
War, ad nauseum. This seems like a fitting epitaph for all these men who “rule” the world.
Unfortunately they seem to be always with us. 🙁
That is a totally perfect cartoon!
Yes. The cartoonist did a great job.
I believe heat brings out the worst in us … both climate and some folks’ emotions.
It’s extremely stressful. AC helps a lot!
That comic strip could not be more spot on
Unfortunately. He did a great job.
I the deep south, the first responders no when the temps get high so do tempers, they get a lot more calls on really hot nights. I know myself, I get easily aggravated if I am to hot
It’s good to keep in mind, to keep things from making things worse.
I sure do get aggravated when hot!
Most of us do.
And it seems like the situation changes every time you think there has been a resolution. Hugs from us too.
Yes.
