Today’s weather report
The heat outside during the day today could have seared the shell off a tortoise. I got home tonight at 9 o’clock from an event at Universal City. According to my car’s readout, it was 90 degrees at the hilltop of Universal when I left. I thought, This must be wrong. I put the top down and drove home to Burbank. At home it was 93 degrees out — as verified again by my car, by the readout at the local school, and by the thermostat on my front porch. So here’s the deal: It actually is 90-plus degrees outside at 9 PM. I came in gasping from the heat and running for a glass of chilled ice-tea. Here’s what my wife had to say about it all: “It’s nice outside, isn’t it?”

Hey, that’s better than the weather the Jersey shore is expecting Saturday and Sunday.

Yeah, as a mailman I get that a lot. “Nice day, isn’t it, we’re having?”

I’m not excited. I spent seven hours getting things put away at my and my mom’s house. I was taking down my mom’s awning at 12:45am this morning and then drove to my brother’s in New York state at 2am. Not much fun.

Even the way you write about it shows the thrill in your voice. I hope you can just buckle down and enjoy the hurricane, and that it doesn’t do big lasting damage.
