Miss Piggy's heatwave

We're Having a heatwave   -   SALE !

 

I am so tired of being told that the warm weather is coming only to feel cold and chilled to the bone by those frigid winds. So, I decided that this required action. I studied the weather and saw that our average high temperature during the last two weeks of February climbs from 42 -46. I looked at the predictions, (for what they're worth. What a lousy job a meteorologist has - to predict the undpredictable.) and it projects that we'll be above average for most of that period. So, I'm proclaiming a TROPICAL HEATWAVE - with the hope that this might influence reality.

Then the words of the song, "We're having a heatwave" started going through my head and I went to Google to get the lyrics. And what fun I had there. Joan Osborne singing the other Heat Wave ! Ella Fitzgerald singing Tropical heatwave with pictures of Marilyn Monroe. A grainy copy of Marilyn Monroe performing the dance number and singing Tropical Heatwave.  But best of all - Miss Piggy, with her penguin big band doing the number as it should be done. Click and enjoy.

Oh, by the wave, we're celebrating the heatwave here at Walk a Crooked Mile Books by having a heatwave sale - 30% off EVERYTHING IN THE SHOP till the end of February.
