Dude. It is HOT.

So, so, sooooo hot. As I type this it's 93° (34° Celsius) outside. I shouldn't complain, because yesterday and the day before we actually got to 97°. Brutal! I know that in some parts of the world it gets much hotter, but for us it qualifies as nearly unbearable. I guess it helps that the humidity has been hovering at only about 8%, so at least it's not muggy. But there's such a thing as too dry!

To cheer you up, here's a photo I took on March 4th. That looks like about five inches of snow on our back patio. Aaaaaah! Supposedly it's going to cool down here later today and tonight, and over the next few days we're finally going to get a break from this heat wave. It can't happen soon enough!
