Eva’s Byte #478 – Taking the Heat

Eva’s Byte #478 – Taking the Heat

In my native state of Rhode Island, the morning of July 18th initiated four consecutive days with temperatures reaching 90 degrees or higher—the longest heat wave in forty years!

Coinciding with this occurrence:

One – On Thursday morning, two days after the sun baked the interior of my idle vehicle, I discovered the air conditioning wasn’t working. Nevertheless, I continued fiddling with the control features while motoring. Normally, setting the temperature gauge on “low” with the fan at full blast, I’d have created a meat locker.

Two- There was construction along my route, considerably slowing progress as well as “turning up the heat” inside the cabin.

Three – Arriving home, I placed a call to the dealership, only to be informed about a nationwide cyberattack which had forced them to shut down their software systems. Up and running since then, I’ve scheduled a service appointment.

In the capacity of a writer, I’m sprinting toward the finish line of my Contemporary work in progress. The draft of chapter 59 is coming to a close in a heartbeat (1905 words thus far).? Then, on to the epilogue.

*May each of us have courage to take the heat for not compromising our convictions.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
