I live in the first cut of the foothills and today is going to be brutal. 115 or so.

The SF heat, with nobody having air-conditioning, will be brutal. Even Santa Cruz and south coast will see record temps. I'd go to Fort Bragg. Looks like that area will be cool. Great drive too, and the car has air-conditioning too!.

We're keeping the lights off as long as possible and minimizing use of electronics. Fans are on and windows are open. I'm also taking the family out for dinner so we don't heat the place up further by cooking.

on the couch down there tonight.

Can't wait to see some fog again! We live on the foggier side of town, and I prefer it that way. This sucks.

I am heading there in a few days. We have had 100+ degree days here more often than not. I was hoping for cooler weather. Oh well, 95 is cooler than 101, after all.

Of course, our relatives there have it even worse right now, but they do have AC.

But now we have humidity. It wasn't this way when I first came out here in 80.

I remember my first year in SF and I was wearing a long winter coat in July. There was always that damp cold that just cut right through you. It might have only been 50 degrees, but it felt so much colder because of the dampness. But then again, I can remember wearing shorts in February. Very strange weather in that city. The fog was incredible. There were days when I could barely see five feet in front of me.
