104 in the Shade 0
That’s the reading on the electronic thermometer on the deck, which I have calibrated. It may not be the official reading, which I think comes from closer to the beach. We are within a couple of miles of the Norfolk Airport and our temperature is usually closer to theirs.
When I was a young ‘un growing up on the other side of the Bay, it would get this hot.
But it wouldn’t stay this hot for weeks at a time with no break.
A couple or three week-to-two week heatwaves with lows in the 70s, then back to highs in the high 80s and low 90s and lows low enough that you could sleep comfortably without air conditioning.
Doesn’t seem to be happening this year.
My new shorts arrived and the weather makes them much appreciated.
It took some hunting, but I found some that aren’t baggies or those culottes for men that seem to be all the rage now.
They are just plain old boring men’s shorts for old boring plain men like me.
