That would be true. We had a do odd stuff day today, including DH to the dentist, then us going to Target in Leesburg to get parts for his Braun shaver, then home briefly, and to the afternoon movies to be cool. It was definitely quite hot out. I had watered plants, lawn in the early a.m. For over an hour, and things just look sad later. The bunny living in our front garden came out, just sat there twitching her little nose - later on in the evening as we were in & out again - she was sitting in the lawn - which is a little high - and maybe a bit damp. Didn't go hide at all - I guess it was too hot for her. We actually were early to the cinema, so walked down the strip to a new wine shop that opened- and drink some wine tasting flights - then ran back to the movie - then back to the wine bar after to pick up our purchases. It was sizzling walking out of the shade. Then we had to go home- drop the packages - and back to Leesburg 'cause we left the package in the Target - so we went back, had dinner in town & then to Target. Upon leaving Target at nearly 11 pm it was still 93 F according to the car.

We got a big warning from the county (goes to all officials, and as a precinct chief, I get them) about the heat. Serious advisory for noon til

10 pm, expecting temps in the high 90s to 100 tomorrow, and over 100 on Friday. Advising people to stay indoors, and that the county community centers, libraries, etc are open and air conditioned for people to come in. Expecting it to feel like 110 because of the humidity. The air is really heavy out - and usually we have somewhat of a cooling breeze, but not today.

On an off topic - we saw "Super 8" - the Steven Spielberg movie. It was good - based upon recommendation of kid managing theatre in the afternoon. OF course, this may have been helped by the amount of wine we guzzled prior to going to the film. If anyone goes to see this - you must stay for the full credits. Seriously. Key to getting the best part & good laugh from the film.

After dropping off DH at the Park N Ride in the a.m. when I get out of the car at home, my glasses steam up! Taking out trash and recycling this morning was nearly unbearable. I truly feel for the people who have to work without the benefits of A.C.

We were supposed to be going to a Marine military tattoo tomorrow evening. We've wisely canceled that plan. I've been making salads and sandwiches for dinner all week. Anything to avoid being outside or turning on the stove.

But it's Saturday morning that's going to be the killer. Big Guild meeting with lots of stuff to bring in from the cars. I think it was this hot and humid last year also. This year, I'm bringing a change of clothes. I can learn!

It's just a little better here in Pgh. 96 today with 105 for the heat index. I spent the early morning getting an oil change and car inspection. Of course the shop has no AC. I grabbed the only seat that got "some" air. Didn't even think about the temps when I made the appt Monday. I did hose out the bird baths to give the birdies fresh water.
