Hot Temperatures in the Northeast have finally arrived

Hopefully, this week is the last of the "hot temps"! My ideal weather is cool evening / cool mornings with temperatures in the 70's with low humidity - something like SanDiego,California - what a wonderful place to visit! Now if you want contrast of temperatures drive to Monterey and or SanFrancisco California where thankgod I had my raincoat to keep me warm - because only one day did the temperature rise to 73!
Back in the 70's I took with me a girl friend from work & we visited a youngman I met in Williamsburg, VA summer of 1969! Tim worked during his college breaks as a "cooper" - lol, what a flirt he was all 6 ft inch 11 inches tall. Besides this Irishman i felt little - me being 6ft tall eyes of blue with the 100% Irish temper!
How different he had become - he was now a 2nd Lt training others at Fort Ord - now a defunct military base.
He was mean and he enjoyed when recruits were overcome with nauseous feelings after going through training of being able to withstand toxic chemicals! How had this fun loving Irishman with the twinkly eyes gone astray!
Ive enjoyed the summer we've had, though all the rain could have stayed away! Not once until yesterday, Sunday the 16th of August have I had on my air conditioning! And so it is becoming warm in the room where my computer is situated and time to close the wide open window!
