Looks like you'll have a rainy weekend.
We might get some this weekend and a tad relief from the heat.
But, hey, it's July going on August.

[radu]

Howdy, beachy. *HUGZ*

I hope you had a good day .... INSIDE. Too hot up there!

Hot here, too, but not as hot as up there.

[PROCON]

I haven’t seen any smoke from Canada but we have our usual forest fires, many by arson 😡 around E. Washington.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Any idea how long your nice weather will last?

The heat’s cranking up here, durn it.

[beachn4fun]

Yike! Arson? I may have seen something about that on this mornings headlines. Stupid people.

We’ll see how wet it gets this weekend. We were supposed to have showers today but it did nothing more than cloud up for about an hour.

I hope you can get some rain. You could use some more and could use the break in the heat. It’s been hotter there than here!

[beachn4fun]

Good evening DirtySecret.
Thanks for stopping by and hangin’ out.
I heard he was going to speak tonight but haven’t heard yet.
I’m sure that is why some are not here yet.
