ringsandcoffee1. How do you beat the summer heat?
Avoid going outside once it's over 110, though I don't think we've gotten there yet. Also, stay hydrated!
2. Do you have air conditioning?
You can't NOT have it here. When the daily high is over 100, and at night it maybe gets down into the 80s, you need AC.
3. What’s your idea of the perfect summer day?
The beach! Preferably at a lake. Warm air and cold water.
4. What’s one thing you always seem to do every summer whether you want to or not?
Try to get my garage to not be an oven.
5. Are you ready for the summer?
Ready? It's already summer. However, it's been cooler than years previous, for which I am grateful.
Sting is doing a residency in Las Vegas next summer. I'm taking a little inspiration from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hopefulspirit and thinking of buying tickets, though I have no idea if I'll actually be able to go. Vegas is an hour flight or a 6 hour drive, so getting there is no problem. It's just if something came up in my schedule that would stop me.
I was just updating my books post, and have done a crap job with reading this year. I had to look up an IG post because I could not remember what I've read. Only 4 books?? Well those and the cookbooks I've bought. I'm also in the middle of another book that I started in April. Must. get. off. computer!!! Sigh.

My buildings are right between ASU and Tempe Town Lake.

Date: 2019-06-23 05:55 pm (UTC)Spokane's geography makes it regularly one of the worst places for fires. The past few years have had multiple days in the unhealthy category, and we actually had a smoke emergency last July. The fires are often not even immediately in the Spokane area - they will drift from Canada, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. It seems to collect the smoke there in the valley. I will not miss the smoke season for sure!
