It's good to live where I do.

Southern California this week is going to be a dangerous and painful furnace. Today it was 120° in Indio (desert town). The emergency services people have put out a dire bulletin advising people to be careful of the high temperatures and unusually high humidity, and not to leave old people, children, or animals in cars, and for chrissakes don't die of the heat.

Meanwhile, the report ends with this:

ONSHORE FLOW AND A MARINE LAYER INFLUENCE WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
FAIRLY MILD ON THE COASTAL PLAIN...GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND
80S...EXCEPT 60S ON THE BEACHES.

Thank you, Dad, for buying a house in Paradise 40 years ago.

When we visited DisneyWorld (Fl) that was the worst part. The hike across the vlistering hot, unshaded asphalt. Yes the Trams do get you somewhat close, but you still seem to have to hike a half mile.

Because of the 50th Anniversary, the only overnight parking was 1/2 mile away with NO TRAM. It was fine at 4 in the morning, but I had to stay at the 15 minute parking pick up area while poor mcbrennan hiked to the car and picked up me, our little dog, and all our bags of goodies.

We both have a nice one to two degree sunburn going today. Ouchy!
