Hot day

· Maine Event

It was HOT in the office - got to 84° when I left at 4pm. It is nice to be outside when it's that warm especially in the shade but to sit and stew and try to think/work is less than ideal. There were cool breezes in SF that made it much more comfortable, also it was 3-4° cooler, and I was outside. There is not a speck of cloud or fog in the sky for as far as the eye can see.

I guess this was summer for two days and tomorrow will start to get cooler. Little baby heat wave in early June.

The ancestors to modern sheep come from the fertile crescent and are known as Mouflon, who knew! And in that top picture those lovely ears turned out to be horns!

We saw a person walking carrying two instruments. Why two? Gonna play both at the same time? We are lucky to live near a live music venue.

Blessed shade. No matter how hot it gets in the West if you get to shade it's cooler. Just isn't true on the East Coast
