RECORD
I am not bragging but we did match the temperature record for yesterday.
120 degrees Farenheit. We don't do the C word, but if we did, I would say that it hit 48.889.
The highest record temp for the month is 121, so not too far off.
Six percent humidity. The infamous dry heat.
How did it feel? HOT.
In the "winter" a ten degree delta is noticed but not much. In this kind of weather, ten degrees can make the difference between life and death for the frail or exposed.
We are neither but our hibiscus out front don't much like it so I give them an extra water over the top, the leaves and buds. But the buds are not going to make it.
Booker doesn't mind too much if we are out for a quick pee or getting the mail across the street. Don't walk on the asphalt. Not to worry. He knows to back off or to run fast. Very fast. I can't pick him up.
Nevertheless, we waited for sundown last night to go for the after dinner poop and amble.
I watched a movie (I am looking at some of the "best" gay movies, the ones we have bought, as an after dinner exercise). I was surprised to find that, even when the film was over, the sun was still up.
But that is going to change, or is changing. Moving behind the mountain. 8:00PM.
For people further out in the Valley, the sun doesn't set until much later. 9PM is pretty late.
When we lived up against the mountain, the sun was down around 615, depending on where it was against the mountain "skyline".
