Barry is currently moving up through the center of the country causing much flooding.  He's supposed to make a right turn and be here in Jersey by Friday.  Like a good bit of the country, we've had more rain this year than in decades.  We are very saturated.  If Barry really dumps on us we'll flood too.  I'm not that concerned where I'm at.  Even though I'm on a lake this exact area isn't prone to flooding. But lots of the state is.  We'll see.

We've had some thunderstorms because of Barry. I was working up in Huntsville on Saturday and it came down hard for several hours. So far Houston missed most of it. Should be great for the mushrooming though.

   The remains of Barry arrive here in Jersey tonight. We'll see what he has left. Right now it's like a steam bath out here... typical mid July day.
Hazy, hot, and humid. We should see triple digit temperatures this weekend.

   Cats love heat.  All of mine did. Though arctic beasts, Huskies love to sunbathe on days like this.  They all do it.  They'll lay in the sunlight during the hottest part of the day for a half and hour or so.  Their fur will be almost too hot to touch.  The only logical explanation that I can come up with for this behavior is that possibly it helps to control fleas or mites when they're in their wild state.  Other than that I haven't got a clue.
    I walked Pandora this morning.  I kept it short... just a mile or so.  We took the shadiest route possible.  Just the same we were both cooked when we got back. It's like a sauna out there.  I was soaked.  No more dog walking until Monday when this is supposed to end.  It's just too hot to walk Huskies and Little Turd Dogs
