Too hot to walk barefoot on my wood deck, 98 yesterday, last night was nice
72 for the low and I slept well without the air running and windows open
during the night. Today expected to have a high around 93 Fahrenheit.


It is 94 in my kitchen. The outside temp in the shade is 101. The deck
back planks register between 137 and 146 with an IR thermometer.

We are going out for dinner, To hell with it.

Last year, in Louisiana it was 110 degrees. Went into a restaurant.
When we came out, right as the sun went below the horizon, I remarked a
cool font must have come through. It felt cool. Car thermometer and
thermometer on a sign, down the road, read 103 degrees.
