Hot weekend
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 7:01AM 
I finally got my wish for a hot weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday set records of 95 and 96 respectively.
I did not realize that with the high pressure we were also getting off shore flow, where our air comes from eastern Washington's high desert instead of off Puget Sound. It also means air quality deteriorates, so it's hot AND hard to breathe!
I took one picture of TOG and I at the Seahawk game on my cell phone and it was not pretty. 95 degrees on the 300 level of a concrete stadium is dang hot.
Yesterday, out at the island was miserable. It's usually about 5-10 degrees hotter at the island than it is in Seattle and yesterday was no exception. TOG went out to start up the truck at 5 pm and his temperature read 109.
Today will be another hot one and I'm hoping the air conditioning at work can keep up with it.
Above, Oma gives Cassie a love right before we left. TOG took Maddie down to the beach to cool off, and she took a couple steps and ran for the shade. You know it's hot when a Chihuahua is looking for shade!

Off to put my hair up and go to work! Stay cool!
AG out!
Heat, off shore flow, what's it all about? in What's it all about?, family, weather

Ask and ye shall receive! Glad you got your heat, but too bad about the air quality.
The heat wave finally broke a little bit here. Actually, it's just that the humidity broke which makes all the difference in the world.
Drink lots of water. Hydration is key!
Be careful what you wish for....that Ben is killing me!!!
Welcome to what summer is like in the southeastern section of PA. ICK!
Your little Ben looks like one cool dude -- literally AND figuratively!
Here's to hoping YOU stay cool ... literally! That's pretty darn high temps for the PNW!

Glad you got your wish for some warm temps!
I want to kiss Ben!!!
