The
weather was hot today. I've lived in the Mid-Atlantic all of my 52 years
and today's hot wasn't much hotter than the worst I've ever experienced, but
still it was a scorcher. After finally gearing up for my morning 3-mile
walk I headed out the door at about 9:30am. Even though I was able to
stay on the shady side of the street I was drenched in sweat by the time I made
it back to my door 45 minutes later.
There's
a storm by the name of Arthur brewing off the coast of Florida. Usually a storm
so far south wouldn't mean too much to me. Arthur may bring some rain this way
but by Saturday the temps that are hovering in the high 90s today should fall
to the 80s. Apparently we're in for quite a nice weekend.
Too
bad for me I'm scheduled to spend all of next week on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina-the same place that Arthur is most likely to make landfall.
Tonight I hear that mandatory evacuations have been ordered for the very same
town that I have paid to lay my head on Saturday night. There's not too much I
can do about Mother Nature from here so I'll just chill in the air
conditioning, keep an eye of the forecast and hope for the best.
