Boy, it is really hot in Bellingham. That is the lead for this blog post. There are those home inspectors who would lead you to believe that the details and concepts that we inspectors have to remember are so complex and baffling that they are overwhelming to the mere average soul. Those types just got their comeuppance here in Bellingham. Talking complicated theories: How about convection and convective loops? Where does the hot and cold air go and how does it get there? Some people could spend hours explaining how hard it is to figure out just why the air currents circulate as they do and these people are wary to predict what parts of the room will be hot in summer and which parts will be cold in winter. Okay, so it sounds complicated. But how complicated can it be when one of my office assistants figured it all out in about three minutes? His epiphany involved scorching weather, an open window, an electric fan, and a comfortable chair with a cushion. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out where the air goes. Steven L.

Steven, It's amazing how they know to get the best place! Cute cat!!!!
Connie,
This guy has comfort figured out quite well.
Cats are smart animals. Much smarter than say rodents.
I see your assistant has grown. Good looking cat.
Of course, cats are smarter than the average office assistant (or average squirrel?) -- and your diagram is excellently presented :) :) :)
Nothing quite like a cat on a hot tin roof----guess that was a different kind of cat:) (I would post a picture of me just like that right now but one picture of me naked on the internet is already toooo much.)
Hey, Steve, that looks like my cat except my cat has a back yard and back porch to sleep on. No fan. Poor thing. Your cat is one lucky dog.
Steve - Right you are! My cats have a knack for this, too.
Yep,
This guy is a near genious. He is probably ready for the national home inspector exam.
LOL - absolutely. We are experiencing strangly cold weather (well sort of) and my cat want to cuddle on my lap. Would you like me to send you some of this weather there??? I'll take the heat (LOL) ~Rita
When you dont make things complicated, they, well, become simple. You brought a smile to my face today so thanks for that. I enjoyed reading.
According to our studies, cats rank higher than squirrels when taking the national home inspector exam. It is assumed this is due to cats actually possessing a brain.

And Kate, to answer the question of which is smarter all you have to do is answer the question, "How many zig-zags does it take for a cat to cross the road?"
So, if the air moves in the forest, and there's no one there to feel it, is there still a sound?
Charles, I have no response to your question. And Jay, ditto to your philosophical statement. Ms. Manners

"I have no response to that." That was a Meg Ryan line in Joe Vs. The Volcano
Kate, well in that case, "I will have whatever she is having.":)
So if cats and squirrels are so dumb, how come Charlie asked Nutsy and Tigretto to help him study for the test?
i have one of those little guys blowing directly in my face by my bed at night!
Steven, Steven, Steven. Mrs. Wallenda would like a word with you. Ms. Kate
