One PM, and still in the seventies!!!! WOZER! We haven't had temps this low since May. Presently it is seventy one degrees.

When I went out for my bike ride this morning it was 73.

Last Monday at this time, I was at work, and it was 101! I had totally forgotten what it is like without the AC on. Mine is off, the balcony door is open, and it is cooler than it has been with the AC on all of June and July.

I had to put long jeans on, cause I got chilly. WOZER! I like this. :)

Buyer Beware> I have bought items from Goodwill off and on for the past few years. We didn't have a store close by. One thing you need to check is the outrageous shipping charges and handling charges. I saw a lovely metal vintage style tea pot I would love to have....bid 3.00 reasonable............shipping 10.00........handling.....2.00. Hmmmmmmmmmm tea pot not so attractive at 15.00 and that's if you get it for the 3.00 bid. I love looking thru all the items Goodwill has but some of their shipping rates are way out of line. All these items are donated and I know for a fact it doesn't cost 10.00 to ship one tea pot. Don't want to rain on your parade just want to make you aware. I also bounce between goodwill and ebay and yes I am a wicked sniper...............LOL Does anyone remember Andy's Warehouse Auction? It was run by Fingerhut no less..........oooooooooh the bargains I got there and their shipping was reasonable. How i miss them. There were a couple others but I don't remember the names. Sigh! Hmmmmmmmmm maybe I should google. Then there's freecycle.............I can't begin to tell you all the goodies I have gotten off there. Ok so I belong to 5 different ones.............:) I subscribe to all that are within a 50 mile radius and try to pick up two or more items on one trip if possible. Anybody watch the Junk Brothers? Boy would I like to find some of the loot they find. And that Workshop............ ChelCass

Ah nature! Those look like flat millipedes. Don't worry, whenever we see an explosion of something like that, it slowly disperses. Whether by disease or predators. The first year in our house, we had tons of milipedes everywhere, the house, the yard, the pool. Now, we only see them if we are looking under rocks outside. Milipedes are eaten by other things. This is from the Kentucky Extension Office; ECOLOGY Millipedes are common in soil, under rocks, and in other dark, moist places. Millipedes cannot move very fast, and most species feed on decaying plant material. Millipedes do not have venomous stingers or fangs, but some of them can secrete bad-smelling and bad-tasting chemicals from pores in the sides of their bodies. These chemicals help keep many predators away. Despite this defense, millipedes are often eaten by centipedes, spiders, and predatory insects.

What a wonderful story! And congratulations on your lovely new furniture. I can hardly wait to see them in your home. Your story reminds me of something similar that happened to me about 15 years ago. I drove past an antique store every day on the way to work, and kept admiring a maple corner hutch in their window. I told my husband about it and said that I wanted to run in and check the price when I had a chance. But a few days later it was sold. I told my husband I was kicking myself for not making it in sooner, because I had really loved it. The next day when I got home from work, it was all set up in the dining room, with my dishes all arranged on the shelves. Turns out he was the one who had bought it! It was such a lovely thoughtful thing to do - it made me cry! What a guy!

It is 73 right now and I am not complaining. We were supposed to be hanging out by the pool this week. I'll take the rain. Maybe some of my trees and plants will recover.

Minnie, I wish you a day like I had today. Cool enough to spend all day outside... without sweating.

I never thought I would get to enjoy my balcony, but I did. Didn't come in, till it got to dark to read.

Sooner or later it got to get that way for you too.

That storm in Ok cooled the Dallas area down and we were only 97 for a high yesterday. At 3 in the afternoon it was only 84 with a cool breeze, it felt wonderful.

However, I am a little disappointed that we won't break the record set in 1980 of the longest stretch of 100 or above days. We were at 40 and the record was 42. So close, everyone expected it to be broken this Saturday.

I'm tired of the heat but honestly, it isn't unbearable. Everyone I know has central AC, and AC in their cars. Everyplace you go has it, too.
