I started to write a few minutes ago but the power flickered - again - and I've given up on the desktop computer for the evening, I'll use the laptop. I have a battery speaker to use with my mp3 player and I've been listening to a recorded Agatha Christie murder mystery as I sort papers in my office.

It hit 110^o again today. This is so old, there is no letup in sight. What good is it to have a weekend when there is so little that can be done with the time? Right now at 8pm it is still 102^o. The 7-day forecast is pretty grim, though a little better, hovering around 105-106.

I heard rumor there was a little bitty heat wave back east a couple of weeks ago.
