It is 101 F in my backyard but it ain't that hot.

Thank goodness for Mr. Carrier and Mr. Friedrich.

It's actually been rather cool, rather cloudy, and rather wet here in
Seattle the last week or so (starting with a thunderstorm featuring
60mph winds and pea-sized hail, IIRC). In fact, one day tied with the
1960 record for lowest high temp on that date! Not matched for 64
years! And still not broken!

I don't remember August 1960 as such (too much fun outside to care
what month it was). But it /is/ a reminder that it really /can/ rain
at any time in Seattle!

I'm even considering turning the furnace back on and converting back
to long-sleeve shirts. But there is always a chance that it will warm
right back up in early September.

In August of 1960 my parents and I were driving from Freeport, Texas to
Princeton, New Jersey in our 1948 Dodge with the bad valves. My father
was starting his three year journey to get his PhD in Chemical
Engineering, courtesy of NIST after he was the valedictorian of TAMU
Engineering College. Princeton is a cold place, incredibly cold, -20 F
nights in the dead of winter. My father used to bring the six volt
battery in from the Dodge at nights so it would work in the morning.

I'm in Vancouver (about 120 miles directly north of Seattle) and by
comparison Seattle is desert-like by comparison.

And it looks like the first 9 days of September are going to be dry
and sunny. And mid-70s mostly. Excellent Summer weather.

This may be one of those years when I don't turn the furnace on until
October!

Yeah - my daughter took a week off work last week to catch the last
warm days of summer. It was warm enough last week though it rained at
least 5 days of her week.....
