My goodness! I think you're hotter than we are! I love your description of the cooling of the house. And yes, I'd have the AC in the bedroom, too.

Have a great 4th and hope you all stay cool.

Last night a storm came through and blasted the high humidity OUTAHERE! The storm scouts were shoving tree branches and dirt around as we walked up to the long line at the theater. We looked around at the other approaching people and the darkening clouds. We decided the theater was going to be too crowded and our Cody-dog, who hates thunder and firecrackers, shouldn't be left alone to endure what was coming. So we'll have to see the movie another night.

BUT: it was 60 degrees at 5:15 this morning, and I've got the house filling with fresher air and down to about 73 degrees. I think we'll survive the weekend. Happy 4th to you, too.

Probably a good call of missing the movie and going home to comfort Cody. I always feel poor for dogs (or other pets) that are terrified of the thunder.

Glad the rain washed away the humidity and cooled you off a bit!

Agreed. On all points. ;~}
