duuuuuuuuude

86 up here. fully 15 degrees cooler, just for being north and on the water. nice

it's been pretty reasonable here all summer! very humid though

omg 108 omg. our pdx friends bought an air conditioner in reaction to yesterday's 103 and in anticipation of today's predicted 106.

my pop just sent this email to my siblings and me:

weather

5pm, and all is well (done); 103 degrees official high so far today; an
all-time high for Western WA.

Dad

people, it is 97 degrees inside the kitchen cupboard where i keep the thermometer.

i've taken it out and will report back when it adjusts to living room and porch temperature.

has it been cooling off at night, also is it unhumid? because those are crucial bearability factors i think.

I am on a bus trying to snowglobe myself but it is not working and also we are not moving.

very very unhumid este la

i hope you are not parched dear jergins:(

porch: was 94.3, now 92.3
house: was 92.5, now 90.0

so yes, i guess it does cool off

temp's going back up again, i didn't think thermometers were susceptible to breezes?

I think it gets to 70s at night but for some reason my house stays hotter.

8 pm, holding steady at 94.3, 91.2

i feel cranky just thinking about it.

thank you for your support, estela. not a very good day to convince sandboxers to move here, huh?

it's a better day for working on f. than an it's raining day is.

i'm afraid false pretenses would be involved, then.

mid-80s inside and out.

the basement is quite cool, though. trying to figure out if i could sleep down there.

you should come and sleep at my house.

ok

yay, i'll pick you up at the airport & this time we won't be shy.

but we will still laugh!

yes! harry will be pleased, he loves visitors.

The National Weather Service in Seattle recorded 103 degrees at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, breaking a previous record of 100 degrees, set in downtown Seattle in 1941 and repeated at the airport in 1994.

did you know?

perseids meteor shower tonight!
some people from the group i hiked with last weekend are watching at cle elum lake.
this would be a good time for a car. note for the future!!

Can I say again how much I love the light rail train? Went to a show at Jazz Alley last night (too damn $$$ btw and don't eat there unless abs. nec.) and hopped the train from ID to Westlake. I will take the train over a bus any day.

yesterday i took the 18 down to train station area, but we kept getting stopped every 3 ft. in traffic. so, on my way home it was raining and i decided LIGHT RAIL TO THE RESCUE! dragon to tiara in no time! <3 it!

also on the way down, there was a car on the sidewalk on 1st ave, with a down tree. how does that happen in stop and go traffic? i would think you'd need greater velocity to veer off the road and knock a tree down like that.

Whoa! Maybe they came roaring down the hill from 2nd? (though it's much steeper from 3rd or 4th to 2nd)

anyone been to columbia city farmer's market?
