We finally got some rain! Mowed my lawn for the first time in nearly a month on Monday. Had a hot week though, yesterday was the hottest day of the summer so far, hit 95 degrees with a heat index of 110, it was BRUTAL! Have no idea how you guys do it in the south, I was wishing it was 20 below zero! Looks like its cooling off to the upper 70s and back into the 50s and low 60s at night, I can deal with that.

Sad note due to washed out highway;

DOT guy was at washout site after a gal went around TWO Road Closed bariicades, flew by him down hill 50 MPH and took a dive 50 foot below.

74 years old, was talking to first responders at scene, before she flat lined
