Planning for the Illinois Heat Wave
Plan A, Plan B, Plan C…Bail?
Plan A
Both of our families stay at our own houses.
Everything works fine.
Plan B
You’re a/c unit goes out.
Your family, including pets, packs up and comes to my house.
My dogs will learn your cats are not chew toys…eventually.
Plan C
My central air goes out.
My family, including pets, packs up and shows up at your house.
Your cats will learn that my dogs are not scratching posts…eventually.
Plan D
The air conditioning goes out in both of our houses.
We pack up our families, including pets, and break into a nearby mattress store with good air conditioning with a McDonalds close by.
The cats and dogs are going to have to figure out territorial lines on their own.
Revision to Plan D
We break into a mattress store with good a/c and a Starbucks next door. Starbucks! Not McDonalds!
Good grief, what was I thinking?!
Plan E
We hope the police station we are dragged off to has good a/c…
And that the mattress store lets us take our mattresses with us.
The dogs are excited to see new people and arrest easily. They take up a lot of our jail cell.
The cats are uncatchable and will wait at the cool mattress store until we post bail. They aren’t idiots.
