And Happy Third of July from the Florida Panhandle!
The firecrackers started popping Thursday afternoon. Neighborhood dogs are not happy and many cows have stopped giving milk, but no severed thumbs or digits reported...yet.
Happy 4th! Western NY will be rainy and hot. Diane and I play to lay low and avoid driving during the weekend. AAA says 40 million Americans will be on the road...but not us!
Yesterday it was hotter on Long Island where we were - 102 - than it was in Midtown Manhattan - 100 - or Bay Ridge. It's pretty darn hot in Brooklyn now.

Happy 4th!! May it be a safe and pleasant one!
Our fifth day of heat in the upper nineties will keep me inside. It was 118 on my neighbor's balcony.
