#86 - How hot can it get?

I've never been so happy to have it be 84 degrees outside.  Well, it IS 8 pm and yes, it actually WAS 117 degrees earlier.  At least it was in Novato when we drove home from the air conditioning of SF.  

Well, it wasn't actually the usual air conditioning that SF offers us. Yes, we decided today was the day to finally walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.  We knew it HAD to be cooler than here, and we were correct.  

Got our steps in, even though it was 90 degrees near the visitor center when we parked and headed out.  

We got lucky though, as the natural air conditioning kicked in just after the 2nd tower.  I'm not sure why but it was breezy and felt like it was 70 degrees.  So wonderful!!!  Such a relief.

It was during the drive home that we saw it read 115, and then 2 minutes later, in the Novato Narrows, it was 117.  When we got home (after a delicious lunch at Burma Superstar - yum!), it had cooled down to 102.  Tomorrow we get a break before another big 100+ degree day sets in.

Climate change - it's not for sissies.  I hope those without access to cooling made it through today.

Brutal.  That's all you can say about it.
