Not summer but simmer as record highs set

It hit 94 degrees in Seattle today. Now, someone like Garret, in Santa Fe, might respond with a resounding "Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!" and he'd be absolutely right. The last time it exceeded the 90 degree mark around here was July 28, 1998 when it hit 97. Air conditioners are rare in the Northwet. So, when it got into the mid 80s inside my house, my computer started to overheat and shut down.

I sat out on my back porch this evening, waiting for it to cool down inside, reading a book and watching Venus come out below a crescent moon. I hoped to see Jupiter but it had gone down below the tree line before it got dark enough.

But, enough of that, the computer is back on.
