I did get the lawn mowed, and edged too. I had to stop and clean up for an 11:30 vet appt otherwise I would have gone on. Of course by noon the heat was just unbearable, so after the vet I went to Big 5 at Totem Lake to buy a chair I've been wanting for up at the cabin (after searching for it on line) and did a few other errands. It was so nice to drive around with the air going. I'm going to go out early tomorrow and finish my outdoor chores, getting as far as I can before I'm driven in. I'll probably take another drive just to keep cool. Supposed to break 100 tomorrow.

You have my sympathy. Chicago is on track for its coolest summer is 66 years, which is fine with me. We had a horrible heat wave in 1995 - including one day when the temperature hit 106 - that may have killed as many as 600 people. To make matters worse, we had high humidity. en.wikipedia.org I took a company public in August of that year and had to do a number of all-nighters alone in the office. The air conditioning in the building went off from 11:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. each night and I was dripping sweat by 1:00 a.m. Toss in the fatigue and the knowledge that the company would not survive if we didn't complete the IPO, and I was generally ready to scream by the time the air conditioning came back on in the morning.
