It's supposed to be a scorcher here for the next couple days. The high in the shade is supposed to be around 97 tomorrow. I don't get my a/c installed for a few more weeks. Why not just wait for November?

It's disgusting out. For years I've resisted going to Florida in the summer because of the extreme heat, but over the past few years, New York has gotten to be just as hot. I just got back from Daytona Beach. We were there for a week and it rained everyday while we were there. But it was very hot when it wasn't raining.

I've heard such nice things about Spring Lake, TB. Glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself. Thanks, SB.  Spring Lake is known as "the Irish Riviera." Very, very high-end town. Incredible homes near the ocean. The one we're renting isn't one of them, but it'll do.

We left AZ for a week for a family reunion at the Jersey shore (Spring Lake). It's hot and humid--perfect beach weather. Rental home has central air. My family is ecstatic. TB, do you miss NJ area???? It's gotta be a huge change for you in Az no??? Do you go back to Jersey often? Anyway, glad you are doing ok in Az.  TIS P.S. We have had absolutely gorgeous weather here in SoCal. Almost all month it's been in the 90's (usually it's well into triple digits by now.) Today and tomorrow, sunny and high 80's. There's a nice breeze and no smog. It's really beautiful.  Of course in CA, we have Aug and Sept to contend with...both months are known to be very hot.

The torrential rain lasted all night and well into this morning. About 3am we had a wonderful thunder and lightning storm that seemed to rip the very night open  Shitty weather but an awesome spectacle!
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Actually, in my area most of July and so far the first week in August seem to be unusually cooler. Not that it's cold, BUT usually July has mostly over 100 temps but this has not been the case this year. We've only had a couple days above 100 in July, and so far in August and according to the 5 -10 day forecast it'll be in the 90's and even high 80's a couple days.  Can't complain. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned. TIS

Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
