We are having a heat wave here. Yesterday a lot of records were set, and today is even warmer. We need rain in the worst way, but no rain is in sight for the next ten days.

Last night Joshua came over and watched 24 with me. Jack Bauer is still going strong in his usual manner. I am reading a book that I started on my trip east last weekend, and I am about three quarters through it now.

I just called Guy Pluming to replace a washer in my dripping faucet and the works inside my two toilets, which are so old they are disintegrating. In my youth I would have done all this work myself, but now I have more important and fun things to do.
