Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. We'll be hot again ... if the forecast is even partly right, we'll easily break the heat record. Today, low 90s, sunny, but still low humidity. All the storms appear to be well out to sea and no threat (over than high waves briefly on the shore). There's no more than a faint chance of rain for at least a week. I got home too late last night to water, so will get that done tonight.
Actually, I got most of the errands done that I needed to; but got home too late for much of anything. I did watch (most of) the final 10 on AGT. It's no longer just about talent, that's a "given". It's about who would you watch for a whole Vegas show? Hmmm .... that absurd "prince"; the magician; and the glow-in-the-dark act ... all have an edge there.
Tonight I need to make up for last night: some organizational paperwork, some spot-cleaning, and some work on this week's room to "deep-clean". Yeah, right. LOL!
Today is ... nothng. But tomorrow is "Felt Hat Day".
