The Heat Is On

Around lunch time today I was walking in the parking lot at work and it felt really hot, with hot winds blowing around. Sure enough, the outside thermometer said it was 96 degrees.


So even though yesterday was the first full day of autumn, we are not showing signs of it here. However, since summer is officially over, I thought I'd do an update of our list of things to do this summer that we put together back on the first full day of summer, June 22.

It was good, considering that it was very easy to make and took about 25 minutes.
