I suppose I should clarify that that was the maximum recorded
outsidetemperature. The maximum inside temp was ... good heavens, 97
degrees. In
my office! But I think it has mostly been 77-82 in here, with A/C and
ceiling fans working all too hard.
Now I'm wondering when it hit 97... I suspect it was while the thermometer
was on top of my display, which, despite being a flat panel, puts out some
heat.
Allow me to clarify also: I was talking about
glancing at the thermometer part of the clock
display that is about a foot or two from my head
when I am lying down on numerous occasions during
the past couple of weeks or so and noticing it read "94.5°F"
it's down to 95 now, at 8 pm... .and we still don't care to walk the dog.
Nor does the dog seem especially inclined to keep moving much.
During the day the cat is similarly disinclined
to move much. He has taken to lying on top of
things with all four legs, his tail, and most of
his head hanging over the edge putting them more
in line with the output of the fan. On occasion
he shifts position a bit and finds that in the
new position enough of his mass is hanging over
the edge to make him unstable, so "Clunk!" he
goes to the floor and then jumps back up to try
to get into the artificial breeze again.
It was nicer today. It rained pretty hard for
awhile about lunchtime, although according to the
news that plus the 2.5" we got over the weekend
(according to my rain gauge) is not enough to get
the water use restrictions lifted . . .
