Whew.....

Words I never thought I would utter: "Good news, honey! It's only supposed to be 94 today!"

We bailed on whatever form the River Concert took on Friday, and the Feeder's weekend was pretty much spent cowering on the couch trying to fight the heat induced exhaustion and depression. (Does it show?). When you go outside and your glasses immediately fog up, something is very wrong. Besides the brain going dead, appetites tend to grow dull and a light salad or something like that is all that is desired. However, I did grill some apple wood smoked pork chops on Saturday night to celebrate the alleged cold front that was to produce the "only 94" temps of yesterday. But, in reality the thermometer cruised by that and our backyard was again in the upper nineties..

Last night produced some MNR and lots of thunder and lightning which was a nice change of pace. Maybe today it will "only" be in the low nineties..

In times like these, I always recall the novel Giants in the Earth, set in the Dakota Territories of the late 19th century where one of the characters goes nuts because of the incessant winds. Welcome to the summer of 2011.

Other than that, life is good. Especially if you can
