We had a nice rain yesterday morning, and it looks like another one today. Loving it as it has cooled things down a bit.

It's amazing what a little rain can do, combined with lower temperatures. I am up to my ass in tomatoes now.

Thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and at 6PM it's dark! Wow.
Town was just flooded everywhere, limbs down all over.
Haven't seen this kind of action in ages!

Seattle hit 90. I'm about to die. I have no idea of how you guys can survive at 115.

It is all in what is normal for you, your body will adjust to the area you live in and it only takes two or three years.

90 around a lot of perspiring trees feels, hot.
It has been hot a short distance inland but, at home it hasn't gotten much above mid 80's.
But, the stinky humidity. Especially at nite. Not thunderstorms just thick watery air.
I run the A/C to wring out the house air. The Federals and Their Weather Bureau say it will be cooler after the w'end near the coast.
Mission Figs are picked daily. Sweet and edible, skin and all - although I start by eating innards only.
The Bearass Lime that has been dormant for 2 years is leafing and making an early bud, but not the similarly dormant Caracara Orange. I have some huge, green Beefsteak tomatoes I have high hopes for but, I suspect the racoons and worms do too. I have nit been lucky at tomatoes.
I think the racoons like to destroy Fuji apples not yet ripe. Every night a few are added to the losses.
I hope we get a strong breeze of fresh ocean air soon.

Raining here tonight, the windows are open. I hear crickets in between the shouts and mahem...
My wife is asleep, and I don't know how she is sleeping. The neighbor across the street is having a big LOUD party. His girlfriend left him and he has moved another women in with him. Poor thing. Well, the bright side of it is at least she does not have to have sex with him while he is having a drunken party...
...they seem to be settling down now.

>>A-1's post reminded me of a poem:
>>http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15282

"To Speak of Woe That Is in Marriage"
by Robert Lowell
"It is the future generation that presses into being by means of
these exuberant feelings and supersensible soap bubbles of ours."
—Schopenhauer
"The hot night makes us keep our bedroom windows open.
Our magnolia blossoms. Life begins to happen.
My hopped up husband drops his home disputes,
and hits the streets to cruise for prostitutes,
free-lancing out along the razor's edge.
This screwball might kill his wife, then take the pledge.
Oh the monotonous meanness of his lust. . .
It's the injustice . . . he is so unjust—
whiskey-blind, swaggering home at five.
My only thought is how to keep alive.
What makes him tick? Each night now I tie
ten dollars and his car key to my thigh. . . .
Gored by the climacteric of his want,
he stalls above me like an elephant."

That's precisely why my young, good-looking co-workers love me. They know that I am not like that... It is why my wife loves me, too...

Moi, as for the 'coons, put some ground up glass in raw hamburger and leave it for them.
Just make sure your pets don't find it.
