Almost Clear
The sun's getting ready to set and we still have power. Very exciting. I thought for certain we'd at least get a brown-out this afternoon. My fancy thermometer says it's 91 degrees outside, 81 degrees inside with humidity only at 37 percent. That's pretty low humidity compared to what we've had lately. Things could be worse.

Thanks so much to all the very kind people who've linked to me today, especially InstaPundit, Matt Welch at Reason and the Friends of Jeff Jarvis. Could be the most traffic I've had since I started blogging almost two years ago. So far I'm around 3,900 visits.

I'm thinking about walking back over to Two Boots for more of the great BBQ they fixed last night. I've been craving it all afternoon. It's early for dinner, but I'm tired. Didn't sleep terribly well last night, walked a lot yesterday and spent too much time in the heat. That said, my husband slept less - and far less comfortably since it was on the floor of his office. Maybe I'll see him tonight if the subways start running.

And now to change the subject only a bit. Here's a great line from Ken Layne, who apparently listens to the same nighttime white noise we use in the Langfield home: "BBC news always puts me right to sleep: those measured, calm voices of British doom. They could be talking about murders happening in my own house, right now, and I'd still nod off in 30 seconds."
