Isn't it hot enough here?

I'm off to Boise next week for a committee meeting. Said committee had a conference call this afternoon (why that wasn't cancelled in view of the face-to-face meeting is a question to ponder), and the member from Boise told us the temperatures have been in triple digits for a week, but should cool off to the high 90's next week. Which will probably feel about the same as the low 90's with humidity that we're having in Atlanta. I'd hoped for some coolness, going that far north.

We will at least get some break next Wednesday, when we'll start the meeting early, end early, and go take a rafting trip. The water should help keep us cool if nothing else.

In the intermountain West? In July? I really hate to burst your bubble, but 90s are a pretty regular phenomenon in Boise in the summertime.

Now if you would like to be nice and cool, come over on west side of the Cascade Mountains. Seattle's supposed to be upper 60s and showery this weekend (after three days above 90 last weekend, which *is* unusual here, we deserve it [g]).

I was in Portland in May, and it was hotter than Atlanta was that week. (Another heat wave.) Not that I object to missing drizzling rain, you understand, but coolness would have been good.

Well, it's 66 degrees out there right now... At 2:15 in the afternoon.

Is that cool enough? It feels positively heavenly.
