Lived here all my life. It's hotter than "normal."

Ich,

By definition, record setting temperatures, which the past several days have been, are above normal, since normal is defined as average.

I've sort of succombed to the heat. No fishing this weekend. Putzing around the house with a few odd jobs, dressing a few flies for the upcoming Alaska trip. A dozen deer hair mice should get me by. Still have the various sculpin streamers I didn't use last year. I'll tie a few more coho flies in case we get lucky near the end of the trip. Finished my second garden shed of the summer - did one for a co-worker a few weeks ago, and did this one for my girlfriend's sister. She's a widow and has no male relatives. Sat in the heat and watched enough of the Lakefair parade Saturday to remind myself why I don't go every year.
