My God, it's been hot. Today is supposed to hit 99 around 4 pm, and it will be back below 72 again at 1 am Sunday. The insanity is made worse by the deluge of cars inching their way towards Santa Cruz in search of cooler conditions. The only sane move will be to shelter in place. We plan to visit my mom, but I wonder if her place might be too hot to be safe. She has a portable AlC unit that I will try to set up for her today. Last night's bike ride and introduction of Mark to Mare went well. Fifteen miles and two hours later, we returned to Marc's place. The evenings are lovely to enjoy but not worth the negatives of the cost to keep the home bearable. The A/C can not keep up with the baking sun and loses the battle around 4 PM daily, struggling to hold its position against the sun's force against an unsheltered home. It would be welcome to return the mulberry trees to the front yard.
