The main news here is the weather.
You know it's pretty darn hot when it makes headlines in Las Vegas. Last August, they had a single day over 110 degrees, now we're in the middle of a seven day stretch. Unheard of for June. And those temperatures are at the airport in the shade. In other areas, like here in north Las Vegas, it's even a few degrees hotter. Needless to say, everyone in this suburban neighborhood is laying low.
I was amused reading the Seattle Times yesterday morning, warning people about the "excessive heat" on the way for next week. That might be a high of 90 degrees. In fairness, Seattle is the least air conditioned city in the country.
In the early morning, we try to get out for short walk before retreating inside. That's dad, working his way around the cul de sac in the cool 90 degree air.
Then we settle down in our conditioned cocoon. I'm enjoying a quiet visit, but might go to Hobby Lobby this afternoon for excitement. When I watered the pots patio last night I got sloppy with the hose, and made myself a free steam bath with the baking hot concrete.
