Heat Wave...
...and when they say heat wave here they REALLY mean it. We are running into our 4th day of temperatures in the 90s with a heat index in triple digits, and the forecast is for more of the same until the weekend. Today is the hottest of the week with a current Highland Park temp of 98F and a heat index of 107F, although the heat index in other areas is expected to reach 120F.Fortunately, the folks that lost power last week have all been restored. The final count was 868,000, a record number of households affected. There were crews from several different states here to help, and not just Wisconsin/Indiana, but from as far afield as Georgia and Florida! In all the comed repair bill was in excess of $80m.
We have had a quiet week, mostly hiding from the oppresive heat, although we did hang out with our friends Amy & Kevin last weekend, where we played a new game call Kubb. First time I played I was pretty good, but it went down hill quick. I might have to build a set of my own to practice.
We did spend a little time in the garden last night, as it was a little cooler. As most of you know I am a keen, if slightly rubbish, golfer. Well Addison has her own mini set of clubs, driver, iron and putter, and we have one of those little plastic sets too, with a tee and balls and stuff.
Lorraine was teaching both Addison and Cooper how to do it, proper grip, stance, the works, and Addison was doing a decent job getting it. We had her do it herself, and as you can see from this little animated gif, she actually did very well doing it on her own. Check out my future LPGA star!
