The heat we've been getting this year, though somewhat of an aberration
some places, isn't really anything new... 1936 seems to have been
another such year... but worse...  I'm just glad that it isn't a regular
thing.... ;)

We've been dry long enough now that people are actually ready to have
some rain.... :)  At least the humidity is down... we're having some
pretty classic summer weather here lately... :)
