Another scorcher! Yesterday it made it to 98F! Currently as of 12:45 PM here in Gresham it is 84F. Expected high today 95F. Just killed what looked like a big red tick coming at me! Heat brings them out! Wind NW at 5 mph. Humidity 35%.

Sitting out on my patio drinking beer, I can see many planes coming over here. Some are jetliners. They seem to come from the south over Gresham, and then make their turn to the west to land at the Portland International Airport. When I lived a Crown Point, it seemed that most of the jets that flew over were heading north toward Seattle. We had a dog, a black and white collie dog that was driven crazy by all the jet traffic! You have undoubtedly seen dogs that got into the bad habit of chasing cars. Well this dog got into the habit of chasing jet airplanes! He had a well beaten path that went up into the woods, and also down into the woods in front of our house! Every time a jet would fly over, he would start running up and down his trails, barking he head off, I guess to scare off that noisy bird! Well, I guess it always worked!

89f no clouds Just put on dark sunglasses.Have not much sailing.Am i getting old? After almost 5 years Ive been kicked out of Walmart's parking lot.Tey have all new people seeing that no one parks over nite.So I park around the corner on the street.Police are nice,and they watch out for me. Always have my breakfast at Mcdonalds,and have my microwave lunch at the Senior Center. Being almost stone deaf its hard for me to eat out alone.Thus I miss



Walmart must have changed their policy. They used to allow people to park over night in their lots. Even the cops told me that that. None of your girlfriends has a driveway you can park in?

I took beer cans to the recycle cent and cashed them in. I am still 10 cents short of getting my daily beer for tonight to get through this heat wave! What should I do?

Currently 84F here in Gresham as of 1:15 PM PDT. Expected high 92F. Wind 5 mph out of the west. Humidity 34%. Sunny. Clear sky.
