I can identify.  Had major thunderstorm last night and the top of an
old locust tree fell across the drive.  Just this minute came in from
working with son to get it cut up.  I am as wet as if I'd just gotten
out of the shower - boy! does the a/c in the office feel good!

I had NOT planned to spend a full day clearing up debris, but guess
that's what's gonna be on the menu for part of this weekend.

Poor hemlock hedge really got hit:-(  Rhodie hedge suffered some
damage but it will grow back...not sure about a couple of those poor
hemlocks.

Ref. liquids and working out in the heat- I carry a bottle of spring
water with me about 24x7...gotta replace those liquids:-)  I'm
addicted to spring water...can't drink the stuff that comes out of
the tap.

Well best I gather weary, wet self and get back to work here......
