Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

Think it's hot where you are? The Kansas Heckler reports: It was 118 at our house yesterday, 113 here in Buhler where I work. Wow. Sounds like Vegas. Today will be ever so slightly cooler and then Tomorrow, Tomorrow (oops, sorry, singing) it will be in the low 90's with (quiver, goose bumps!!!) rain! Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Just as Prozac is the ruination of a great depression, so rain can flatten a hot, dry spell.

Then she just sent this: It's raining and the temperature is under 80. Oh happy day!

Here in the Puget Sound we're entering a heat wave. Going to be in the nineties starting today. I've got the house closed up like I still live on the desert and the air conditioning set on 70. The niece of MMMMM is visiting from the desert at the first of the week. She'll probably think she's in a cool, green heaven, while the locals are frying as central air is still a rather anomalous thing to have in one's house here. All the new starter castles they're building here that cost $800,000 and way up come with all the lovely touches and designer extras but rarely air conditioning. That still amazes the DH and me. We gotta have cool. We went the first summer in this house without air conditioning and suffered greatly. The next spring the DH had a 5 ton unit installed that could probably cool not only our house but our neighbors' houses, too.

So, here's to staying cool and having a great weekend.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmelinda
