It feels uncomfortable but not actually hot. I think we are supposed to
reach a high of 80 here tomorrow which can feel uncomfortable because a lot
of places have no AC. We had a freak storm today. Thunder, lightning and
hail. It had started to get dark early and then this hit. Angela and I
were stuck in the van for a few minutes because we didn't want to take the
groceries in during all that.
