Sure hope your air conditioner has been working! And that it keeps on working, as it sounds like you’re going to need it for a while. Someone told me on Monday that for the next 13 days we are in for 100+ temps. Hope their weatherman is wrong. And! Here on The Hill, we’ve had very little rain. In the last couple of days, I’ve had occasion to drive down roads I don’t generally travel and saw some pretty sick looking corn. Some of it was past blue, it was white. If it stays so hot with no moisture, it’s all going to look sick. Polish those prayer bones.
