our one day heat wave PNW

[bironi]

Today was forecast to be in the upper 90's F.
So me and my riding buddies got out earlier than normal.
Rode our distanced solo rides and got back home before the heat.
Seven hours later the wind began blowing in gently from the west.
Broken clouds moved in, and sunset was beautiful and comfortable.
I sat out back facing the woods drinking a beer watching the sky.
Bats were catching their dinner snacks overhead.
The sky put on a show that wrenched my neck to take it all in.
A rainbow at my back and an ever changing show looking west.
Seven to ten rain drops on by skin as well.
That's my best solo post ride experience in quite some time.
Great Day!

I lived in Poulsbo 2007-2012. The summer of 2009 was the worst I recall. It was over 100 degrees for several days and living in a house with no AC was awful. It didn't get dark until 9pm so the house really didn't cool down. The 2008 STP, it was 105 in Longview. Otherwise, the PNW is the best place ever to spend a summer.
