Heat Wave
Squirrel trying to cool off
It is ridiculously hot out there. It looks like we’re going to be hitting 107 degrees Fahrenheit (41.7 degrees Centigrade) today for our hottest temperature in Portland history, and it looks like we’re also going to be entering the longest stretch of >100 degree weather in history. It’s crazy. I don’t feel like working, getting out, or doing anything. It’s all veging out for me until this heat wave passes.
