A Break in the Weather

We've been here almost three weeks, and today will be the first day when it isn't going to be over 100 degrees. Praise Jesus. They say in real estate it's location, location, location, and it's not until you live here that you realize Bakersfield is Death Valley Adjacent. Of course, the cooler weather comes with a price - the local "news" is warning of blowing dust storms later this afternoon. Great. Next week it will be raining frogs.

The heat doesn't seem to faze the locals. Nothing seems to faze the locals. Except Obama. And if the subject of the weather comes up at all, it's usually an ominous warning about the coming fog... The Fog.

Lovely. My life is now a John Carpenter horror film.
