Oy vey!! Such posts!! 'Fathers' saying the most stupid things {is he so happy for himself that he is having relations with this ho?}, daughters not realizing the distance/day of the week dealio {probably they told her there were better seats for the Th?}, broken toes {ouch!!!} vacations and work deadlines {yay!!} and hotter here than in Vegas???

Well, that last one, my daughter went to a wedding there and I am happy for her then that she isn't dying in this heat as we are. I worked this morning and when I left it was unbelievably hot!! A couple of intersection lights were not working, makes me worry about the Son who hasn't had his license very long, I hope he pays attention.

The Hubster and the Boy went to Borders for an iced coffee and lounging. I fell asleep. Woke up too early and enjoyed a nap.

I'd love to see your pictures, you returning cruisers, when you get something put together. :0)

Yay the power is back!

Just as my battery was about to die.

I lied. Bye bye power!

Sugar free Jello instant pudding is quite tasty.

Okay, Anthony Bourdain has made me want to go to Java. I can find all sorts of info online about his shows/destinations, but naturally, nothing about where he stayed in Java. But his hotel had individual cabins along the river and breakfast was delivered by boat... looked awesome.

It got up[ to 100.2°F at my house in Garden Grove today. Felt like about 104°F at DtD. It was definatly Death Valley hot!!!

It was 68 degrees at work, all day - until I stepped outside, which wasn't for long.

It was only around 103 here today. Luckily it is going to be in the low 90s next weekend.

Unbelievable, these temps. And, we have to conserve power {do you guys up to my north, RStar?, MG?} so I am doing housework right now in the a.m. when I would rather not. So, I wake up, start working {start getting hot right away}, including the dryer in the garage {hot!!} and I will go on being hot all day 'cause when I'm done, it will be hot outside, period. No chance to enjoy any coolness.

I want your job, CoasterMatt. Well, no, I want your temps, indoors. My thermostat already reads 80 inside.

I think the entire state is under a power warning.

We lost power several times yesterday - but there was nothing on the SCE site, and sirens blaring so perhaps there was an accident that took out a pole.

Our office doesn't feel as freezing. Maybe they got a clue and turned it up a bit to save energy.
