WELL, THAT WAS FUN (NOT)

We finally got “L.A. hot summer” today. Got all the way to 112F here in the west end of the San Fernando Valley around 2:30 PM. And then at 2:45, the power went off in the southern side of the valley (Studio City in the east to Tarzana in the west, including Encino. By the time power returned at 5:50 PM, the temperature inside Le Chateau du Chat was pushing 90. It’s all the way down to 105 outside, so no opening windows for a bit of breeze.

And the 10 day forecast is 110 tomorow, 106 on Saturday and Sunday, all the way down to 100 on Monday, then a chilly 91 on Tuesday, dropping down to a frigid 86 on Wednesday and having the good taste go into the low 80s and stay there through the 19th. Of course, in the city on the edge of a desert on the edge of an ocean, that all depends on the winds - from the SSW, the ocean, cool; from the NNE, the desert,hot.

I really shouldn’t complain, last year the end of July was like this for 10 days, and a week in late August. Took us till now to do it this year. Which of course means….

Glo-bal warm-ing is a lib-er-al plot!

Of course, when I turned the computer on, it had “time traveled” to Tuesday, August 12, 2012. Flip flip flip through the “help” menu… ah, here it is “set date and time.”

And here we are back at Thursday, September 5, 2024.

60 days to go to November 5!!! Ohhh noes….

So, did anything happen while I was away? We’ll now return to our regularly-scheduled programming.
