Well- the electric bill came today- and indeed our record setting hot streak
does come at a price. $144 for this month's electricity. The month before
(and our norm during most summer months) was $60. Yuck!
But, on a much more positive note- my husband was offered a very nice
position today, which he accepted and will start in 2 weeks. So yeah!!!
13 months and 5 days of job hunting finally paid off! Thank God!

I don't know how the planners do it, but it seems like they schedule
the Dayton Air Show for the hottest day of the year every time. It
just seems to draw the heat.  They've done it again.  Now why would
you plan something that was going to be on asphalt or black top with
metal roofed and walled buildings for the hottest day of the year?, I
keep asking myself.  In the past, the Dayton Celtic Festival downtown
was on a different weekend and is usually a lot of fun.  It's usually

pretty hot, but not record setting.
This year they put it opposite the Dayton Air Show...the hottest day
of the year. Now it's bad enough that the heat indices are over 100
F. I think folks were surprised the crowds were down for the Celtic
Fest. DUH! (Ever tried to dance in wool on the hottest day of the
year? I'm surprised the entertainment teams showed up!) Knowing how
the weather was going to be, DH and I declined to go to the Celtic
Fest or the Dayton Air Show. Maybe we're just getting old, but we
couldn't see the sense of going out to get roasted and pay highly for
the privilege when we could stay home and be more comfortable for free.

We're to have a heat index continuing for the next three days above 100 F.
It will only be 91-98 actual temp, but with very high humidity. I
have so much I want to do outside, but I'll have to do it before
10:00am every day where it is shaded in the yard. Even the dogs don't
want to stay out and play. They have been getting their business done
in record time since the return of the blast furnace.

Donna, how are you doing in Chicago with the heat? They aren't
predicting any relief until Thursday or Friday here.

I don't envy anyone who deals with these temps on a regular basis.
Especially not you, Pam, without the benefit of rain!!!

Blessings,
