Monday has arrived – we’re in the throes of a major heat dome here in the Pacific Northwest (I know, hard to fathom it’s not raining). Yesterday’s high hit 109 with the ‘feels like’ temperature of 118 degrees. Today’s high is expected to hit 112 degrees – figuring out the math, the ‘feels like’ temperature…
Hello Tuesday! I know, I know, I’m late once again. We’ve been experience a ‘heat dome’ here in the Pacific Northwest – no rain in sight during the next 10-day forecast, so if anyone has a hankering to come visit us here in Washington State, now’s the time.

Final Tuesday of this short(ish) month! While each and every week of February has been crazy busy on the work-side of things, this final week is the craziest, busiest of them all. I’m going to need a vacation after this week for sure! But I certainly can’t complain – I’m very happy that I’m busy…
