I’m on vacation in Spokane, Washington this week for my niece’s wedding, so today, rather than a full post, I’m going to give you some facts.

Yesterday it was 95 degrees, breaking the previous record for this date, which had stood since 1882.

Today it was 96 degrees, breaking the previous record for this date, which was set in 1970.

Tomorrow may or may not beat the record set in 1931.

So happy for air conditioning!
