Things as of now look like it won’t be quite as bad as it could have been this week. I don’t see anything approaching upwards to 100 showing up for us as was predicted. That’s how fast things can change. No question about it, we’ll still be hot, dwelling in the 90s most days. But just last week it was looking like we’d be living in the outskirts of Hades. Look for some rain next weekend. As of now anyway that’s the scenario.  In the meantime, stay as cool as possible and keep your body hydrated during our heat wave. Thinking this summer is shaping up to be a steamy one all the way through, so might as well get used to the heat and learn to live in it safely.
