Continuing Moderation

 I had occasion to be out rather early this morning, in traffic, and for the first time in many years I had to cope with the "morning rush". Ugh. Our temperatures continue to moderate. Coffee on the patio was a bit rushed but it would have been pleasant otherwise. Things get a bit hectic around here sometimes, but that's a consequence of a decision I made some years ago. It was a humane and caring decision and I don't regret it. Now I've taken care of business and I can relax for a while. For the rest of the day, if I want. Odds are, I'll pick up some weights later. I can't stress enough the need to exercise. There is nothing better for one's health, than regular exercise. It's the best habit one can have. I've been at it for close to forty years, now, and it's made a huge difference in my life. Bicycling, jogging, walking, weight training-- all of these. If you want to be healthy, you MUST exercise. 







By the way, our cloud cover has increased each day.

A Cool Morning

 We are out of the triple digits and our temperatures continue to moderate. It was pleasant on the patio this morning. It is still not as cool as I would like but we are getting there, and there is change in the air.







Not all change is bad.

Getting Better Every Day

 The heat wave goes away. The last of August looks good and the early part of September looks even better. 








We even got a brief shower last evening!

Over The Hump!

 Now the temps moderate, finally, after that heat wave. It is very cloudy today. If these clouds persist, we might not be hot at all today. Relief at last!

Despite The Heat

 105 F yesterday and the same again today, but very low humidity. The heat index is not that severe, and I could enjoy coffee on the patio this morning, despite the 80 F morning "low". Another record high today, but after that, maybe a slow return to somewhat milder temps and cooler mornings. Eventually, this must happen. But August has been really bad. We got lucky in the early part of the summer, with rain and mostly seasonal highs, but we are not so lucky this month. 







I have things to do but I sure don't feel like doing them. I wonder whether Elon Musk has a yacht. I hope he spends a lot of time on it...
