Blimey! It's Hot!

Well, I've returned and rested from my class and trip up north. Lots and lots of driving. But at least I have an interesting book tape, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. So far, it is lots of fun. Not classical literature, but fun. Personally, I think that this book would make a better movie than The DaVinci Code, but what do I know.

Well, its damn hot here. Yesterday, it was easily 95 to 100 degrees in the sun. Today, it got quite hot, but a system moved through and cooled the temp off to about 85 degrees. Tomorrow they are predicting about 95 degrees. (Which I'm sure will be much hotter when in the direct sun, while working outside.) Thursday it is supposedto be in the high 80's or low 90's.

We debated all of 10 seconds, and got a small air conditioning unit for the bed room. After last night (and most of last August), the answer was easy. Last night, the dog was very uncomfortable, and so were we. The room temp was close to 90 degrees. With those kind of temperatures, the answer sure is simple.

It's supposed to cool off by Friday, which will be good for the Yard Sale. The wife is looking forward to it. I've never done one, so it will be interesting. Let's hope it doesn't rain. We're not looking to make a ton of money, we just want to get rid of all our extra junk.

I do know of one thing that's not hot. That would be the MN Twins. The are definitely cold right now. Let's hope they start heating up.

For those of you interested in the Greatest American program, the top 5 canidates are:

1. Benjamin Franklin
2. Martin Luthor King, Jr.
3. Abraham Lincoln
4. Ronald Reagan
5. George Washington

It's a most interesting top 5, and although I haven't, and probably won't vote, I will be interested to see who wins.
