entertainment for the East Coasters

-

When it gets hot on the east coast, its hot- in the hundreds. Well when it hits the 90's here, its considered a heat wave. Here is the warning:

Excessive Heat Warning
 EAST PUGET SOUND LOWLANDS-EVERETT AND VICINITY- SEATTLE/BREMERTON AREA-TACOMA AREA- 3:29 PM PDT WED JUL 11 2007

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT THIS EVENING.

THE HEAT WAVE CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE MID 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES. THIS IS 20 TO 25 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

THE COMBINATION OF HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL CREATE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY COOL BACK DOWN INTO THE 60S OVERNIGHT.

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE LIKELY. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...AVOID OVER EXERTION...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

So you think this is nothing, but it is a big deal for Seattlelites because no one has air condition out here, its not needed. Why spend the money on an A/C system when you might use it 3 days out of the year? I have my blind shut for the sunsets hit my window. Right now its 5pm and its at the height of the day's temperature 93 degrees.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
