HEAT WAVE!!

Do you remember this picture? December 24, 2008?



So this was today, July 29, 2009:

First, our frontyard outdoor thermometer, in the shade, around 3 pm:



And the one in the back yard, sitting directly in the sun, maxed out:



And INSIDE our shady house, which usually can keep cool, staying 10-15 degrees cooler than outside:

The kitchen thermometer on the refrigerator:



And the thermostat in the hallway, with two fans blowing past:



So maybe it's not Fresno, but for Seattle, it's HOT!!
