Hello all from sunny (and incredibly hot..) central California!

Crazy hot here too, Jake. On the cool side back east, I do believe.

Georgia is downright chilly tonight.

Ninety-three degree high up here in the mountains this afternoon. I may have to reconsider central AC (or moving to Georgia).

Now, at 10:30 p.m. it's 67 degrees. Unheard of! Even the bats are panting and sluggish...

Ben is riding a big boy bike. No training wheels!

Go Ben! That's a big day, funny that I still remember the day the training wheels came off of my bike.

Nope, it was today. :)

Heh. How's the heat out there? 115 in the shade?
Posted by: Diana | July 20, 2009 at 12:31 AM
they melted off, didn't they?

It got down to 110 in the shade this afternoon. It is RIDICULOUS.
The training wheels melted away about the same time my last bit of patience for the desert did!
