Temperatures in the Mtns. of Big Sur

We ran it up to 112 yesterday, and it hit 100 before noon today. Kate’s recipe for heat with no AC: 1. Take hose, and run all the scalding water out; 2. Soak head and hair thoroughly, do not dry; 3. Take light cotton dress and soak thoroughly, do not wring out; 4. Put on wet dress; 5. find bug-free zone and lay down; 6. Repeat every hour.

That’s my day today, with transcripts, printing, and writing thrown in during the “dry” times in my routine. Paper and computers do not like to be soaked.
