Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to turn the air conditioning on yesterday.
Inside temperatures rose to 81F in the late afternoon and it was 85F
outside. Today the unit hasn't run at all, overcast with a stiff wind
blowing. Here in SW Louisiana you don't like the weather, wait five
minutes and it will change.

OB: Took SIL to Richard's (Reechard's) cafe for lunch. He had the
catfish platter, I had crawfish etouffee on white rice with a small bowl
of potato salad and another of nice slaw.
