Hell has arrived in the Land of Lincoln once again, already too hot to be outside and it’s going to get a lot worse. I stocked up on popsicles for Ernie since he likes to stay out a bit longer than I like which makes his too warm. These cool him down and he likes them. Have the guy who mows my lawn a couple, with a couple bottles of water after he mowed the lawn. Poor guy was soaked with sweat and that was at 9 this morning. I feel for all the lawn guys who have to work in these temps.

Heh, yeah I stocked up on popsicles and we had a storm this evening that knocked the power out. Been two hours and counting.
