Hot

We are currently in the midst of a Heat Advisory issued by The National Weather Service – and boy is it toasty.  It’s not Texas hot, thank god, but definitely unusually high for the Seattle area, with temperatures getting into the 90's this afternoon (I only speak Fahrenheit nowadays, that’s about 33-35 Celsius).  The National Park Service also turned 100 years today, which means free entrance to all the parks through to the end of the weekend.  If it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve only just come back from another National Park, this would be the perfect opportunity to take a sick day/mental health day and visit one of the local National Parks (Mount Rainier or Olympic) on a gorgeous week day and avoid the crowds.  Typically, the forecast indicates that the abundant sun we have now might not last into the weekend – but I’m still thinking I might brave the crowds and go to Mount Rainier on Saturday.
