...lies all the effort that must be put forth.

The heat has been absolutely oppressive lately. 88° F (31° C) with a 105° F (40.5° C) heat index at 8 AM this morning. It has been a week since the temperature has dropped below 80° F (26.7° C), and tomorrow's high will be 98° F (36.7° C), with a heat index sure to break the 120° F (49° C) mark.

Normally, I'm not one to complain about the heat. I live, by choice, in south Louisiana, and I'm even proud of it.

Still, heat indices this high make any outside activity uncomfortable, especially patio work that awaits me tomorrow morning.

Amanda & I are still waiting on pins and/or needles for her job interview. I'm probably more worried about it right now than her, but that would undoubtedly change next week, as she actually has something to keep her busy between now & then. Between now & then, I have laundry to cycle through, and I'd hope to get my car washed.

Really, anything to get out of this heat.
