At 6:15pm CST the thermometer on our back porch, in the shade, is
showing 101F. I reckon that's as hot as I've seen in several years.
We're hiding in the air conditioned house.

Gardens will have to wait to be watered until around 9pm CST when the
sun is actually going down. Birds aren't flying or singing, maybe the
bug eating birds will fly after dark around the retention pond.
