The big news in Adelaide this week is that the record for the number of days in a row with temperatures >35C was broken yesterday. The previous record was 9 days; we're at 11 days and still counting. Though we truly are enjoying a break from the snow, slushy ice, and gray skies we usually experience this time of year, we are getting a bit tired of the constant heat and intense sunshine. --Gee, that almost smacks of treason to my Michigander sensibilities. -- The high tomorrow is predicted to be 40C; that's about 104 F. Accompanying the heat wave, we're also in the midst of a drought, maybe 5 years long, that has resulted in mild water restrictions; we're allowed to use the outdoor hose only on Sundays between 7 - 10 a.m. and 6 - 9 p.m. I can't remember the last time it rained here. However, after living in Austin, TX for 8 years, I am heartily glad for the dryness; heat and humidity make for miserable companions.
