Well, this is awkward.

Just checked out some news sites to see if anything was happening that I should know about.

Had no idea about the Highland Park incident today which makes the Mel jokes particularly inappropriate.

I think I'll just be posting something like this from now on...

Get used to it.

It's hotter than blazes here, and going to get hotter by the end of the week.  Over 100 air temps tomorrow, with loads of humidity to boot.  

But the good thing has been no rain.  That means the grass stops growing and is turning a lovely brown.  I know, that sounds weird to those of you that live in subdivisions or actually like green grass, but to me, it's great because it means less mowing and fewer bugs.

Until yesterday afternoon when one lone rain shower parked over my place for about an hour and dumped over an inch of rain.  This morning it's still as hot as it's been, but the humidity is even higher because everything is wet.  And it's getting green again. 😞

Yesterday was not a good day.  For several reasons.

But I can now believe in miracles.  Our dog can hear again!

It sounded like everyone in neighborhood decided to gather in front of our house last night to blast bad music and fire mortars and toss hand grenades.

The dog could definitely hear it all.  From early evening (still light) to one AM, when I finally fell asleep, it sounded like WW III.

Any plan I had to watch the professional display at Balloon Fiesta Park from the front patio was shelved.  Stayed in the house and we baked cookies for our friend in Missouri.

Our holiday.  Another thing to add to the long list of what I used to look forward to and now dread.

I read on Accuweather that Albuquerque "has received over 335% of normal precipitation since the beginning of June."

Really?

I was hoping for rain last night, but no luck.

Humidity here is supposedly 59%.  We're usually in the single digits.

Eww.

There you go.  Find optimism in the face of misery.  Especially when you're outnumbered.

I'm kind of surprised that you had that much activity though.  What with your drought and your general state's official mindset I would think that explosives of any kind would be taboo.  Do as I say and not as I do, perhaps?

I was actually surprised to learn that our state has a limited time that fireworks are allowed.  Much of the month of July.  Not that that stops anybody from shooting them off the rest of the year.  They just have to stock up right now.

I was surprised that it was relatively tame around here last night.  I had fallen asleep and was awakened just before 10 by fireworks or a headache, I'm not sure which came first.  Fireworks were done by 10pm.

I still have the headache though.😡

I wish our humidity was only 59%!

It's always amazes me that it can rain in the desert with such low humidity, yet it can be 90% here and not a drop.

Except for the sweat dripping off everyone.
