The Ninth Third Circle
The Human had the good sense to bring home the Big Fan from her office at school. But it's not enough, Kitties, not nearly enough. P.S. On Caturday: But hey! No worries! Our 110° only feels like 108°!
Spitty, you're melting! We hope you and your human get through this OK--that is hotter than it ever was here this year! Keep hydrated and tell her to put a giant bowl of ice in front of that Big Fan.
Oh Spitty - that sounds dreadful. However, I think you've got your circles mixed up. In the ninth circle, all the 'residents' are frozen in an icy lake. Methinks that would sound quite appealing to you right now. Why not try out the third circle - which is for those who have indulged in gluttony. Surely qualifying for entry there would have almost been worth the punishment!
The English-teacher Human knew that (though she didn't tell *me*), but she liked the sound of Ninth and she was hoping no one would know the diff. Well, sigh. Of COURSE *I* would have known the eagle-eyed and well-informed Ms. Megan would spot the error immediately, as of course, she did! The Human hangs her head in shame. But she wonders: Does Ms. Megan know who the unlucky residents of Satan's teefs are?
I agree with the Human, actually Spitty - the ninth circle does sound more poetic and it seems that it SHOULD be hotter than any of the others. Perhaps we've been fed too many Sunday school stories about how hell is supposed to be hot!
Satan's teeth - Judas was in the middle mouth, suffering the most. Brutus and Cassius are in the others, aren't they - because they betrayed Julius Caesar? (Personally, I think I could nominate quite a few others to take their place because they're closer to the top of Santa's naughty list than Brutus and Cassius, but I'm probably mixing my literary allusions at this point, so I'll retire.)
Oh Spitster, I must tell you that we have our HEAT on in the house this morning - it's only 56 degrees here in frosty Virginia. If you just pop on over to MY house, you can leave that HEAT BEHIND! (and the heat on your behind, behind too)
Spitty, you know what they say about California: It's a dry heat, but not when you live on the coast. Ugh...that is hot! Sorry, dear friend. Try to stay cool! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

It's way too hot here too.

Eek. 41°C ?!
Is your human hoping that they got air conditioner in jail or why does she steal school property?
I mean, she can't get away with "just borrowed the fan. Nobody at school needs it right now as it's very cold"?
And who is taking care of you while she's in jail?

Good grief Spitty. BOTH of you should have slipped on over here!
Oh Spitster, I must tell you that we have our HEAT on in the house this morning - it's only 56 degrees here in frosty Virginia. If you just pop on over to MY house, you can leave that HEAT BEHIND! (and the heat on your behind, behind too)
Hugs, Teddy
Dang, Spitty. With heat like that, maybe you need a few more (fans that are in the shape of) circles!
Sorry Spitty. We have the opposite problem, we actually had a light frost last night that killed some of our cucumber and squash plants.
I can't even imagine that heat, Spitty! We have a bit more than half of that (60) and that suits me fine.
We can't believe how hot it is for you guys. And they say there's no global warming. Hiss on them

When the temp in SF gets over 90, something is very very wrong. When it gets over 100, its mousie-droppings bad...
