1. Pacing myself
2. Good pizza

4. One more day of this weather then back to more normal temps

1. Apple oatmeal pancakes with cider syrup
2. Lightning and thunder in the distance
3. AC: the weather is smothering, hot and humid

Urban parking lot vibes: SW plane on final approach, so low you can almost touch it, angling down over Trader Joe's, McDonald's, freeway exit ramp, Awesome Sushi and then touchdown; a panhandler at the corner playing a guitar and singing Bob Dylan; a big sister walking past the car reading someone's T-shirt to her little brother 'If you think it you can achieve it'.  Rain has ended, high temperatures and stifling humidity remain.

1. RAIN!!
2. Legos all afternoon
3. Homemade macaroni salad, apple pie a la mode
