98°F was the previous record for today, set in the 1940s. 100°F is now the new one. I'm so glad I was here for it.

Not!

Meanwhile, as we sit here with three fans blowing hot, steamy air on us, the news is broadcast that there is no air conditioning at the prison. My heart bleeds.

Also not.

We had an absolutely yummy dinner with my cousins Donna and Steve: antipasto, lasagna, and two kinds of pie. It was nice and cool there and we almost took the critters with us; but we figured the shock of the hot to the cool and then back again would not be good for Pidgie. So we left them in the kitchen (shady side of the house) with two window fans, the floor fan, and the ceiling fan and the radio playing for Pidge.

Oh, we saw the neatest thing on the way home: the half moon. It is so hazy that what is showing is the same color as a new penny.

No air conditioner? With all the fans it would cost the same as the air conditioner.
Keep cool.

.... and we enjoyed having the two of you here as well!!!! It was such a great night, I didn't want it to end. We will HAVE to keep in touch. There are so many wonderful memories of growing up together - the same era, the same blessings, and the same losses (Gramma and Grandpa). I wish we could have had so many more years with them. Be cool, and have a very safe trip home. Stay well, and in touch, and James, please be sure to "keep those appointments".

Yeah, well, actually, we thought of an A/C many times--but we had other expenses and neither of us is getting paid, so... BJ's actually had a big floor A/C that probably would have done most of the downstairs. The three extra fans we bought only cost $10 each at Linens'n'Things.
