6-1-2011 The Beast is here!

It's HOT! Our first 90 degree day, a watershed event (no pun intended), was 5/26. In the past few days it has really been hot. Heat and bad air advisories. Air so steamy you can see the water vapor. The AC in the house was repaired on Tuesday due to the water drain clogging and shorting out the electronics inside the unit. Cost our landlord $2K. We escaped over the weekend on our W Va-Pa trip - it was not that bad over there. Hot, yes, but not so steamy. Even with all this though, we think we have acclimated somewhat. We actually went out walking tonight and really worked up a sweat. Last year I don't think we would have done that. I am wearing the short sleeve shirts to work now and my two sport coats (blue and tan) are stored in at work. No coats outside now.
