HEAT!!!

Well - it's back. The almost-oppressive heat that haunted us a few weeks ago has returned to put in an unwelcome encore performance. Fortunately, Carrie and I didn't take down the Ghetto AC unit that we had put up last month, and probably won't until late September, when we can be (reasonably) assured that this foolishness is behind us.

People who live in other parts of the country (except for San Francisco) probably won't get the point of my grousing, but people in Seattle generally aren't used to - and don't like - extremes of any kind (weather-wise, I mean); get too much above 75 in the summer, or below 40 in the winter, and you've got our attention. And our complaints :)
