Yeeee doggies, it is hot outside.
Excessive heat warning with heat index values up to 107°.
T and I took a 2+ mile walk. We stayed in the shade as much as possible, got a little toasty, and guzzled a couple glasses of water when we got back to the house. It did feel good to get out in the fresh air and sunshine and it felt good to get back in the air conditioning.
Storms on Monday night caused power outages. Thankfully our neighborhood kept its power but thousands and thousands of houses are without. In addition to the storm damage power outages, the power company has declared an emergency and has turned the power off to some neighborhoods to avoid over-stressing the grid. A controlled outage they call it. The goal is to have all power restored by Thursday night. I went to the dry cleaner today to pick up some clothes but it was closed due to the power outage. Stopped by the grocery store and it was dark, just a few lights on. Customers could not purchase meat or dairy. The cash registers worked, skeleton staff was there, quite a few wine and beer purchases. It was a bit eerie pull into an empty parking lot and then to walk into this dark, very quiet big store at a time it would be bustling with people shopping for their dinner prep.
It's still spring but sure feels like the dog days of summer.
