105°F in Santa Rosa, 107°F here. Opened up the house last night to cool
off. The outside temp went to 53°F, the house to 70°F.

The paper says it will be 99°F today, Accuweather.com says 92°F.

The heat didn't seem so bad yesterday, but I'm feeling a little stunned
today. The tomatoes enjoyed the heat. You could almost watch them redden.

Chance of showers on Sunday, go figure.

Here's a question for you, Billy.
Will excessive heat cause tomatoes to go dormant?

Here you go Frank, Billy has been busy with carbon issues and more.

The tough part is defining the question. In this case it was
tomato heat tolerance.
