The power was out in Castro Valley as I drove through there today.

I'm not sure, but probably. Stoplights out, shops closed down, mayhem in the streets (no, just kidding about that part....)

It was hot here in Claremont, Ca. (Los Angeles county) today. Ran the AC all day. It was hot like Santa Anna winds without the wind, they said on the news. It usually is really cool evenings, nights, and mornings though -- unlike on Texas Gulf Coast and in Houston in summer. Getting ready to walk into the village (old town part of Claremont) and have a nice big fat ice cream cone!!!!!! Wish you could all join me and chill tonight!!!
