Sweaty but Smug

One definition of smugness might be noting that the temperature at 2:00 p.m. is 95° (heading for 102) and knowing that you got your bike ride out of the way before 11:00 a.m.

It really is a dry heat today, though...the heat index is a full five degrees lower than the air temperature.

It's a calm, quiet day, with the only sounds in the backyard coming from those birds too foolish to know how hot it is, and the electric meter, which is spinning like something out of an H.G. Wells movie.

As I lay in bed worrying over my sprinkler misfortunes last night I caught the Weather Channel© and noticed what looked like showers heading our way. I also noted that the humidity at 11:30 at night was 14%, exposing the rain clouds for what they were....virga.

Yeah, the only precip that could survive a 50,000' fall through 14% humidity is the solid kind, and given your roofing woes, we don't want that.
