We don't live here for the weather. Whew.

That is a saying I hear from time to time: "It's a good thing we don't
live here for the weather." Yep. I often say it. Along with "Good
weather for being outside." And this *is* good weather for being
outside at least if you are working, or walking.

In any case, this is our situation today with a high so far of eleven
(= about 52 degrees F). It was eight degrees when I got up this
morning. We've had this weather pretty well the entire month of July.
(My cousin in Connecticut was just saying a few minutes ago that it is
94F outside her door.)

The weather, ten degree highs, is the Number One topic of conversation
in this city. And on some talk shows. Myself, I don't mind it very
much. I'm counting on some below-ten temperatures in the next few
days to murder a colony of wasps under my deck.
