Heat and net

It seems like there just can't be any relief from the heat lately. This morning started out cool enough, and really very pleasant. By 11 AM, though, the heat was on and it just kept getting hotter.

I had a couple of errands to run, since I was off today, so I started out around 7:30 AM. By the time it was all over with, it was high noon and crazy hot out. I was wringing wet with sweat by the time I made it home.

We so desperately need cooler temperatures and rain. The rain we've gotten lately has just been a teaser, not soaking the ground well enough to eliminate the need for a burn ban nor perking the garden plants up enough to say they are doing well in the heat.

By the time you read this post, our internet will have returned. Yesterday (Sunday, the 7th) it went out. We thought it might have something to do with the heat, but also thought it would be fixed quickly. When I discovered this morning that the internet still wasn't working, I contacted our provider. After just a few minutes, they said there are actually 109 people without internet service in our area. They didn't have an ETA as to when it might be fixed.

So, now, I'm just typing into my Windows Live Writer program and will upload this later.
