We’re having a heat wave

I doubt anyone has missed this news. Keep an eye on the forecast, as predictions re this heat wave are changing daily, and as of 3:30 am, it may not be as bad as predicted yesterday, however, triple digits still anticipated for the mountains of Big Sur.

Drink lots of fluids … provide access to shade for your pets … run around naked and hose yourself down, if you can. A day or two is not bad, but a week?? I start melting at 100, but don’t turn into a puddle until 110, so I’m guessing I will survive. It is amazing how well wetting one’s head with cold water from the hose works!

Summer wants to leave us with something significant to remember her by, before the El Niño comes our way.
