So cooling to look at this now we've been at 30+ C for 5 days. Luckily the next few days are forecast to be a more "normal" 23 max, then cooling off further to high teens. That should have me cooled off a bit before I head for California (north coast, though) and then (oh gasp!) New Orleans and SE Texas. I am not looking forward to that heat, but the birding should be good |=)|
