Temperatures are supposed to get to 100 F this weekend.  Glorious forehead-shining, finger-swelling hotness ‘n humidity.  On Wednesday, we got a huge summer storm, with power outages, fallen trees, and even school closings.  I think this is the first time I recall hearing of schools closing following a thunderstorm.  Yesterday, our office power went out at around 10:30 AM and by Noon, everyone was gone.  Woohoo for freebies!  Of course, I tried to go to Trader Joe’s but realized none of the nearby shopping centers were open because they didn’t have power either.   Then there were the traffic lights which were out in most of the area.  Some people know to stop, while others just honk at you and keep going.  Brilliant.
