Heat Wave

It has been HOT here all weekend. We are fortunate that our house is built into a hillside and that the downstairs (where we sleep) is almost contantly comfortably cool and because it is CA it always cools down at night. But it has still been too hot out to do much of anything. We went to Sears today to bask in the A/C and they were conserving energy so they had the A/C turned down(up?) and half the lights off. It felt pretty strange, like shopping after a cataclysmic disaster. Yesterday we filled up the kiddie pool and splashed around for a few minutes. I really, really wish we had a real pool!
