Liars. Hit 90. It's over. It will get even hotter. I want a refund. Defund the weather people.

I don't know who says summer is over, but I think they might have been misinformed.

I stole a page from your playbook.

I have access to Asian markets. I can get the black beans. So I make my own version of the sauce. But the easiest thing to do is buy the sauce in a jar. Wal*Mart, Safeway, Lucky Stores....... they all sell it.

Now you have me think about lunch for tomorrow. Maybe hit the Un-Safeway for some bok Choi and Napa cabbage. I think that there is some Black bean and garlic sauce in the refrigerator along with some rice. There are a couple of Asian markets here, it’s fun for this redneck to go shopping in them.

Happy Tuesday Nor-Cal. No new news to report today. Going to be another hot one, but that is par for the course in Fresno.

Yesterday was a cooker for sure. We spent the day in Cupertino, and the outside temp was 99. Yeesh. Today's paper says it's going to be between 103 and 108. I think we'll stay inside for the A/C.

Parts of The City are still in the 90's. It probably got close to, or hit 100, in some neighborhoods.

Almost 39 million people live in California. Almost 25 million people live in The SouthLAnd. People who traveled through SoCal also qualify. That's a lot of commercial traffic. You will be lucky to get $2 out of the $50,000,000 settlement.

Howdy guys,

it's been cooler here lately, this morning it was 42° maybe mid to high 70° in the afternoon.

I picked up a 4 post lift this week. Here it is with our Explorer on it.

Wow! That is nice. Going to start your own YouTube channel like Vice Grip garage?
Decided to order Little Caesar's delivery. Let them drive in 103-degree weather. Of course, they used Door Dash. So the fee was higher, but hey, it is worth it.

The heat is still unbearable.
