Yikes, aren't you in the top of Idaho? I didn't think it ever got that hot there. I guess I'm very lucky living here in Colo. Our temps are in the 80's right now with a low of 56ish at night. We aren't supposed to need air conditioning either. It was pretty hot in early July but has cooled down considerable and we have had rain for the last week almost every day. All you folks in the heat have my sympathies too. Best wishes to all. Jane > > It's a tad warm here today. Right now, at 7:30 pm, the official > temperature is 102 F.
