ugh

It was 97 degrees today.  A new record.  (I feel like I've typed all of this before.)

I was able to spend part of the day in air conditioning, and that was very nice.  But eventually I had to come home . . . to a very warm house.  At least I didn't have to be outside.  I'm sure the people who were in the grandstands and infield at the Indianapolis 500 were sweltering.  Undoubtedly there were a number of ambulance calls for heat exhaustion and heat stroke for people who weren't prepared with adequate hydration or hats and umbrellas.

Tomorrow is supposed to be almost as hot, with thunderstorms in the evening into Monday morning.  I really don't like thunderstorms, but if it helps to cool off this blast furnace air, it will be worth it.

Sydney has been cooler and rainy the past few days.  I bet M would prefer it if it were warmer and drier, especially now that she has a bad head cold.  I hope she starts to feel better soon.  : /
