HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

We never thought we'd be so grateful for 90 degree weather! Last week, it was about 110 - 115 every day! It was extremely hot, which caused a bunch of problems around the City: power outages, train cancellations, heat exhaustion, etc.

Fortunately, our power only went out for an hour on Friday night (some people had their power out for days!) and we had already had a chance to run our AC and cool our place down before that. Also, neither of us have to rely on train transportation, so the cancellations didn't affect us. The news was full of stories about people in the hospital due to heat related issues. The Australian Open finished last Sunday, so the tennis players had to endure the heat as well. It was record-breaking weather - the hottest it's been here in over a hundred years!

On Sunday, it was about 90 degrees and it felt so much cooler...it was a little weird that 90 was a relief! :) More hot weather is in the forecast, but hopefully not as bad as it's been! Our AC came just in time!

This is so crazy... especially when the so much of the US (not our little corner of Oregon, thankfully) is in the deep freeze! Stay cool, you guys! :)
