And as long as we are on the topic, let us not forget the contributions of Wilmer McLean, who hosted the first major battle, and the final surrender of the American Civil War.

When we got home from dinner it was whipping up pretty bad, so we flipped put trampoline, and the neighbors' and grabbed all their stuff that looked like it might blow away and tossed it in their garage, since they weren't home.

The temp dropped a bit too here. Lately, it’s been a humid, scorching heat wave. It ended up being nice weather for a family gathering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm good to 95, even with humidity, before I get uncomfortable. 100 seems to be my breaking point. It was 110 in my work area most of Thursday and Friday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this before. Three consecutive days with afternoon temps over 100--102, 103, 102. I did the summer version of hibernation. Last night, the violent wind of a storm front took down two very tall white oaks in a neighbor’s yard. Lotta cleanup ahead there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We tend to get at least one, usually two or three, of these events every year in July and August, with weeks of temps consistently above 90. I'm just not handling it as well as I did in my 20s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
