    Been hanging right around 100 forever now and humidity below 20% here in Northern Utah. But we have a break starting today for the next few days it's going to be in the mid to low 90's. Everything here is screaming for water. my lawn looks like crap and there's not much I can do. I'm on secondary water for my sprinklers and only have it one day a week.

    Sounds like the entire West Coast is getting drenched then. My friends in Anchorage report that they're growing gills and webs between their toes this year. Here in interior Alaska we've been alternating between wet and sunny weather. The result? Well, the baby aspen I cut off flush with the ground last fall is now 10' tall again!


    But on the plus side, I've been harvesting wild strawberries and rasberries out of my front lawn, when I can get them before my dog finds them.

    It's a nice 64F here with clear skies. So I went out to play with my dog and camera.

    yeah, but Sunday was like Vegas in August. Brutal. About a 3-day heat wave, and back to 70's, as God intended it!

    blakew, you must be in Anchorage, LOL.

    I was just thinking Marc's post was ironic, since I was just checking my aquarium's temp since it's been getting down in the 40's at night now and I haven't turned the boiler back on yet. (discovered I need a second heater. A single 150W isn't quite keeping up.)

    It's 70 outside now, high today was 77...one of the few sunny days we've had this summer...I know it's been a heat wave and a drought everywhere else in the lower 48, but with the exception of a couple of days in the 80's and about 10 total sunny days, this summer has just been a continuation of the winter...gray, overcast and gloomy. Don't get me wrong though, I don't envy the 100+ degree with high humidity weather at all.

    About the google glasses, I wonder how many people would walk into traffic or off a pier with a heads up display.

    What's not to like?!
    For starters,
    The fact that I have to watch it from my computer and not experience it in person.

    lol - well, we have about 5 (maybe 7) good weeks per year with mild temperature swings. The other 47 weeks are hot or cold.

    Ironic, I have to order in the summer to avoid getting blocks of ice with surprize centers.
