So I'm indoors with the a/c!

I will shortly have some music streaming from my fav internet radio station, WKSU. Their classical music selections are right up my alley!

I am having a lovely evening too...

I think I'll dine in on club sandwiches and beer. It's 85° inside, but it's 93° outside.

Enjoy!

but it will!

I can't imagine in days gone by" how people managed without A/C. Of course, it hadn't been invented yet (makes a difference) but can you imagine people withstanding temps of 95+ ? Ugh!!

It's suppose to rain up in Chico tomorrow and hopefully bring down some cooler air to the valley.

At 3am we're already down to 78°!

Only halfway joking because after acclimating myself to the summer high desert heat I get a chill when the temp drops, even when it's still very warm.

We love to talk about our extremes, as if it's a contest. It's hot here in the SoCal high desert summer, but I can't help wondering, if it's that hot here, how hot is it in Palm Springs or Phoenix?

The main thing is that you get to enjoy your patio when things are right. And who can argue with that?

Beautiful evening here in New Mexico too. I'm going to do some barbequing and hanging out on the porch too.

Five foot, cypress.
Just hung it on the dock yesterday.
Nice breeze out of the south up the bay.
Not too humid.
