Yesterday the heat broke here with some late afternoon thunderstorms, and today it was sunny until later in the day when the dark clouds built up again, but it did not reach 100. It did not rain either. But it is supposed to rain most of this week, which is fine, as I want to drive to Lillian and buy fireworks for the 4th. Because around here they are quick to ban fireworks on the fourth if it has been dry and hot for too long. Too many trees, and dry grass. But even if they ban them, we could always drive downtown to my friends house and watch the city do its fireworks over the bay. And for free.
