Usually by this time of year I'm able to let the yard go for weeks at a time, but THIS year... rain, rain, rain! And hot, hot, hot. Not 100+ but in the 95-100 range, which, aside from an occasional peak, is unusual for here. Feels like the Bluegrass State is becoming a tropical jungle.

So anyway, Buff, buy some ice packs, freeze 'em, and wrap 'em around your PC and come play some Age of Conan or LOTRO or something.

Finally got some rain last night, about 2.5" of the stuff. 1st really measurable rainfall locally since about June 10th. Too bad it can accompanied with a wonderful 70+ mph straight-line winds. All my deck furniture was blown to one side of the deck, but at least we got rain......
