Heat Wave

The summers hot weather arrived about a month early this year. A high-pressure zone decided to camp out over our heads and make life miserable for the next week or so. Temperature near where we live was over 100F at 3:30PM; temp at the store was in the 90's. We were in town for an acupuncture appointment (very good stuff if you can find a classically trained one that has actually been to either Canada or China), had dinner at a friends restaurant and sampled their new desert menu (awesome!) and came back here around 8:30PM - temps had mitigated to a low 80's but it is still too damn hot to do anything. The store is doing great -- the previous owner was taking a certain amount of profit each year and we are expecting to equal that in the next two months. He was involved in some other things and we are focused on running the store. It shows. Jen and I used to do two runs into our suppliers each week and now it is four, stuff is flying off the shelves...
