So the predicted temps were 100+. Yesterday we saw that, only they weren’t predicted. Hot is hot is hot, so whatever, weatherpredictors/meteorologists. I believe what I see my Outback’s temperature recording.

This morning, early, The Mister & I agreed on a game plan: Shut the vents & shutters to the rooms we don’t use. Supplemental watering, check. Shades/shutters closed downstairs, check. When I left the house (a third time) at 3:45 it was 101*. When I came home at 7 it was 104*. I kind of dread and love tomorrow’s club ride. It’ll be hot, and we’ll hate & love it, and relish the salt scrub when we shower.

Let’s see if the cooling trend happens, and if it rains (thanks, Hurricane Blanca, in advance) on Wednesday. We had an unusually cool May, so the heat is overdue and even welcome. Stray rain from the Baja? Yes, please!
