It’s been a cold summer in the Seattle area. We had our pool open since Memorial Day. Today was the first day we were able to use it.

50+ years ago I was in The Alps and we visited the Rhone Glacier cave! You mean to tell me the Rhone Glacier hasn’t melted yet? Wow!

I don’t think this is the hottest year ever for Texas. It is the end of July and I don’t think it has actually hit 100 in Houston yet. Maybe today’s the day but that is rare that it hasn’t happened yet.
