Hot town, summer in the city…

The mercury hit 104 this afternoon, which is a Portland record for July 21.

It was still 100 when I got off the 6 at Belmont. I picked up my mail at the post office, then thought: "What the hell…why not walk the rest of the way home?"

I made it three-quarters of a mile before hopping on the 14 for the rest of the trip.

My house does not have central air. Off to Cinemagic to see "A Prairie Home Companion"!
