WHAT HEAT?
The national news is filled with word of the western heat wave.
For us, it is just business as usual.
The days are some warmer than normal—4-5 degrees—but that is a minor amount.
It is hot. No doubt.
The problem in other areas of the west is that they are not used to it. Body thermostats are not set 'right'.
The other factor is humidity.
When the dew point is under 60, as it almost always is here, there's no sweat.
I mean that literally.
And, here, if you go in the shade you feel a gizormous difference. Cooler.
With breezes, even more so.
So don't worry about us.
Worry about the poor bastards out in LA who are sitting in the nineties with smog and humidity and no breezes.
We are fine.
I think I will go take a quick dip in the pool. When I get out, I will feel cold from the fast evap.
