    I live in Hayward which outlaws fireworks, but a mile away is Union City, which doesn't. Fireworks stands on corners.

    Ugh. If there’s even slight wind that could mean trouble. Both here and there

    A cheap fast way to cool your body temp on hot days.

    Submerge your arms, past your elbows, in a container of ice water.

    The colder blood circulating from your arms will decrease your core body temp. It ussualy takes less than 2 minutes submerged to start feeling cooler in your chest area. The cooling affect can last for more than an hour.

    A place that hot should have a name that warns people away, like Sunburn Basin or Somewhat Thirsty Flats.

    Barfo's Mom's Basement sounds pretty scary.

    It puts the (suntan) lotion on its skin or else it gets plundered again.

    We had a new heat pump and furnace installed early last month and let me tell ya, best money I've ever spent. Super efficient compared to our previous 25 year old unit. We did blow a fuse yesterday afternoon, but lucky for me, the HVAC guy is my best friend and already came out and fixed it.

    Ironically, the rebate check came in the mail a couple days before we had any issues. I'll be using the rebate to buy a grill.

    First day below 90 in a week. Lashanna more like herself. Spent the morning on her cat perch after stealing my socks and hair tie while I was in the shower. Jumped into linen cabinet and settled on clean towels.

    A few days of moderate temperatures before next heat wave. Transplanted the celery. Hope roots take before onslaught. Baked scones.
