    Most everyone is on beach cruisers, they were "team" tshirts, and decorate their bikes. It's fun to watch but I know if I tried to drink and ride I'd just fall over.

    Way too much riding home drunk when I was in law school. I'm lucky to have survived. Down there I'd worry about heat exhaustion on top of everything else. Probably going to be some wicked hangovers tomorrow (or later on tonight)!

    Last summer they had a bunch of people go to the hospital for heat stroke, this year it started storming a few hours ago and the temps dropped to the mid 70's. So they're just drunk and wet this year.

    We got 2-1/2" of rain last night, and luckily none of the high winds. We needed rain badly, but usually when it comes down that fast, it all runs off. Amazingly, the soil was in just the state of dryness that it hadn't gotten hard-baked yet, and it just soaked it all up.

    Of course rabbits also got into my green beans and stripped all the leaves off. Sigh. Still, they left the stems and growing shoots, so *if* I've got all the holes closed up where they were getting in, the weather should be ideal for the plants to come back quickly. Fingers crossed.

    Hope your garden is okay, Oak. We've had tropical storms here, but weirdly calm and temperate conditions, the neighbors gardens seem to be flourishing.
