Hardy ever really but when I do I will include you in on the round. Funny that they call it the Roadhouse. There are no roads or cars. Just boardwalks and 4 wheelers. ---

It was 101 at the lakefront an hour ago. The wind changed and is now off the lake from the north and it’s 81. Such a relief! I love Lake Michigan! ---

107 with the heat index. Earlier this week they were predicting 120 with the heat index on friday, but I think that has come down a bit. ---

West central Indiana. Our actual temperature hit 105 today, but not at all humid, with only 20% humidity. Tomorrow, it’s supposed to get up to 101, and the humidity will be returning. No rain in the forecast until mid-week, with a 20% chance. It’s DRY here. ---

Just boardwalks and 4 wheelers. Sounds like it hasn’t changed in the 20 years since I offloaded crab there, then; and I would have been surprised if it had. 🙂 ---

98’ on the porch when I got home at 530pm, a lot hotter in direct sunlight. My temperatures are always read “on the porch” because that is where the thermometer is. No rain predicted for a while, just hot and humid enough to melt your clothes to your skin. Southern Louisiana. ---
