We got a little bit up here too. Definitely enough to need a visit to the car wash. It also jacked the humidity way up as I was using my SD as a mobile office while waiting for JR to finish his ROP Auto class so I could get him back to his regular school since there are no busses.

The Mrs is on day 2 of jury selection and looks like she will be Juror #6 at this time.

I was juror #5 before being dismissed.
No rain here.

And she got released before lunch. It seems that the defense council didn’t like her answers.

It was dry by the time I got home from doing Dad’s Taxi.

We are nervously watching multiple Dow strikes from last night and hoping that they don’t become fires, although we have shades of the Carr fire happening right now. Started as a Big Rig vs. Truck accident that has grown to 25 acres and shut down 299 west of Redding. They seem to really be throwing resources at it.

We had a torrent at around 5AM yesterday. Got about 5/100" rain in about 15 minutes. It cleared out pretty fast, but we got 3 or 4 more little spatterings through the afternoon. Things are still dry as a bone, but the air got cleansed.

That amount of rain, or any amount of rain, may be a record for August.

With all the trouble around the globe, politics, economy, war, famine, disease....... sometimes it's heartwarming to see a human interest story on the news. This guy was just trying to give a loving home to an abandoned animal.

Jim, How did you fit an XKE through the front door?

It’s predicted to be 110* here for the next three days. Here is to staying cool.

You are not kidding. This summer heat wave is unbearable.

I finally finished the beef cheeks. Now it's on to ox tail. Heads or tails. One day, I will be able to afford to eat the middle of the cow. That day will come when I can afford to park a luxury car in my living room. Jim, you are a lucky guy.

It's high noon. Or what should be noon, if there wasn't daylight savings time. I am not happy with this. This heat is outrageous. I can't wait until winter. All the science that we have, and people have to live like this? Call Dr. Fauci. We need a vaccine.

New chapter rule: If it is not over one hundred degrees you cannot complain about the heat.

All has been revealed. President O'Bama wouldn't return his calls. President Trump dismissed him. Ivanka Trump laughed at him. President Jay Bee is letting Rodman handle diplomatic negotiations with Vlad The Impaler. Maybe he really is smarter than everyone gives him credit for. I'm talking about Rodman.
