Hot, Hot, Hot

   That pretty much sums up what we're expecting across a wide swath of Saskatchewan and Manitoba as temperatures get into the mid 30's today and Friday. In fact, it could get to 35 C Friday (that's a scorching 95 F) before settling down to a mild 21 C on Sunday.
   When it gets that hot, it's best to try and stay indoors to avoid heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke. We're lucky. We had central air conditioning put in last year, so keeping cool for us won't be a big problem. But for those who don't have A/C, it's going to be a very hot slog. Just putting out fans doesn't seem to help much, and hitting a local lake will again provide only temporary relief.
   I'm thinking of making a nice, cold batch of Gazpacho (chilled tomato soup) to last us a few days.
   Of course, in 6 months we'll be looking back on these hot temperatures, wishing they'd make a come-back.
