Yesterday I was startled by a strange sound. It wasn't an unfamiliar sound, just one I hadn't heard in quite a long time. It was... silence.
For the first time in over a month the air conditioning shut off.
It's been running so long I had just grown used to the constant hum, like white noise. It seemed a little eery when it cut off.
Bako is going through a bit of a cold snap these days. It's only supposed to hit the mid 80's today.
Imagine that! 80's! In July! In Bakersfield! It's a Mini Ice Age. Or a sign of the Apocalypse.
It'll be over soon enough; it's supposed to be back over 100 by the weekend and up to 110 next week and for the foreseeable future. Might as well enjoy it while we can.
