It’s 84 degrees outside today! That’s hot for around here it seems like – especially in early May! We’ve been avoiding moving too much, and this afternoon we went to two air-conditioned places – the library and Fred Meyer. It’s much cooler down here in the basement, but there’s not too much normal housework type stuff to do down here.\par

Where I was raised (In Tri-Cities, WA) it gets much, much hotter than this outside – but there nearly everybody is prepared with indoor air-conditioning! It doesn’t generally get so hot here, but when it gets past 80 degrees it’s uncomfortable and unavoidable, since many homes here still do not have air-conditioning. Our next house will, hopefully!
