My week so far.

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Filed in: My Life

Oregon is in the throes of an extreme heatwave. Temps at my house have been running 106 to 109 for the last several days; our low temperature last night was 79. We're projected to hit 110 today, with little relief until at least next week.

To those in certain parts of the south, such temperatures are normal for the season. You have to remember, though, that this is the Pacific Northwest, where anything above 85 is "hot", and triple digits are quite unusual. To have more than a couple of days of such weather is rare, and thankfully so - we natives do not handle high heat well at all.

Sadly, my shop is not air conditioned and the ventilation is not good. When I walked in yesterday morning, it was still 85 in there and hit 95 long before lunch. I shudder to think what I'll find this morning!

I'd love to tell you that I'm toughing it out, but frankly I've pretty much taken this week off. Anyone got some cool, rainy weather they want to trade?
