A view

It's 88 degrees here now and I'm sitting directly underneath the ceiling fan in the workroom, keeping relatively comfortable.  I spent an hour in the air-conditioned Wicker Room earlier and this is a view looking out through the glass toward downtown Seattle.  Fortunately the air conditioner did a good job of keeping me cool during the night and I've turned it on now to cool the bedroom so I can retreat in there.  The forecast's been revised upward for the next few days, where before we were expecting a slow gradual cooldown.  I received an extra $25 in Fresh Bucks that have to be used by Sunday, only it's too hot to go to Safeway.  I'd hate them to go to waste.
