An Observation

It's quiet outside.

Chango decided she wanted to chase a tennis ball, so I went out on the deck with her. I heard one car go by, and that was it. There's no one doing yard work, no kids playing. A jet went over. I put some fresh water and ice cubes in the bird dish.

104 right now, will probably get up to 106 before the day is out. Yee haw.

I sincerely hope that there was no evacuation issued, and that all the other people in your town were in that departing jet and car... ;-)

It's pretty quiet here today because it's just too hot to be doing much outside. The thermometer on the patio, which gets sun most of the day, is standing at 100 degrees.

Chango wants to toss a ball in that heat? Lordy, just plop her in the bird bath before she catches on fire. =D

You sound peaceful. Lot of racket going on around here.

So, any lingering thoughts on Washpot? Just started a book called Special Topics in Calamity Physics. Interesting so far (favourite random line: "You think me crazy. Consider a Kandinsky. Utterly muddled, put a frame around it, voila - looks rather quaint above the fireplace.")
Two chapters in, but I keep drifting back to the internet for short attention span reading. Lazy hour, I guess.
