I'm melting

I know this doesn't sound very hot to most of you, but it's supposed to get up to 91 degrees today. Let me remind you that I live just north of Seattle. I'm about ready to break down and buy an air conditioner. Unfortunately, most stores are out of them. We have three fans (2 ceiling and one free standing) which stay on high all day and all night. To give those of you who are not from the great northwest an idea of how rare this heat is, we are breaking records and cool air shelters have been set up throughout the region. The main story on the news contains tips on how to stay cool, warnings about checking on the elderly, reminders to not leave children or pets in the car, and stories about when local stores will receive shipments of fans and air conditioning units. Hot for us, but if you're one of the unlucky ones in the triple digit heat, you're welcome to come visit. But it might be cooler where you are because you have air conditioning. Maybe we'll have to come visit you.
