Holy Fuckarino, it got up to 104 in San Francisco today. That's the all-time record. (Going back to 1874, and the oldest weather station in California.)

Our apartment is relatively cool so when I went outside I was surprised by how quickly I sweated through my shirt. And I remember thinking, "I don't remember it *ever* being quite this hot. This feels like getting out of the car at the gas station on I-5 in August hot."

And it was.

Daaaaaang. It's only 55 here, so you got our warms.

We barely passed 90 in Utah.

110 here. I'm gonna need to retreat to the bathtub soon.

Doesn't it seem like weather would be better if we could spread it out a little more?

Signed,

Chilly in Boston

Communist weather is the future.

It is supposed to be 36 here tonight. Weather = weird.

I wanted to swim at Druid tonight and tomorrow, but mid60s with wind is a little chilly air temp when the water is cold and it's spitting rain. Tonight was the Y.

Ah, Friday night before a holiday weekend, of which I only have tomorrow off because hurricanes. Five days of nine hour shifts where they brought in lunch because we had to work through our lunches, one day off, then another work week of it. If Irma doesn't change directions sufficiently, this will likely be work for the next month.

Mom's friend got confirmation she does have ALS. She had oral surgery and that somehow made it start earlier than it would have. Her tongue is paralyzed so she has trouble speaking and eating although she still can do both it's very tiring for her. They don't have a prognosis or time line of how it will progress. Her Drs seem on the ball but the past decade or so she's slid more and more into pseudoscience and sends mom links to mercola so I'm worried she will fall for some scam.

Her husband is a huge support.

She and mom have known each other for almost 40 years. She's 10 years younger than mom. Has 2 kids and 6 grandkids.
