Hee-hee. Hah-hah! Sorry, I'm a a jerk...

...I wouldn't know...here in Jerusalem we are enjoying the coolest summer in living memory. Though we've had some hot days as of late, the days have been nice and cool. The evenings have required a jacket or sweater. And the nights? Better grab an extra blanket. Considering summer here is usually pretty darn brutal, I must say, this is great weather to be outside and perfect weather for getting work done.

Hi Julie.

Right now it's 88F (31C) inside - it's been in the mid-high 90's for days (35.6C). My thermostat pegs right over that - if it goes past 89F (31.7C) I won't know. I definitely felt it late last night when it hit 88F/31C.
