If you live in the Northwest then you KNOW how bloody hot it is. And if you're sitting at your computer reading this then you must have air conditioning. Please invite us over! If you don't live here, then you may not have heard that yesterday we broke a record from 1891 and hit 103 degrees!! (guess there was global warming back then too). It's not that I don't love hot weather but in this part of the country we're just not set up for these kinds of days that only happen ever 118 years.

All this to say that I can barely sit here for another minute to post about anything other than how hot I am. And you know how much I hate to be a complainer. So I'll just head down to the basement and try to conjure up some new ideas for how to beat the heat. I'm open to yours. Anyone??
