Could it get any hotter?

Spent all day with Red Chief (grandson Ethan), and despite the heat we managed to go to the park twice and take several bike rides. Plenty of water and staying in the shade as much as possible helped. He now has a bike with training wheels, his first road machine after graduating from tricycles. Among many Thomas the Train movies, I kept the Chief entertained with one of our favorite flicks, Jeremiah Johnson. Ethan seems to like the scenes when rookie mountain man Jeremiah gets his campfire dowsed by a fallen clump of snow, and then is unable to catch fish by hand in a cold mountain stream. Great flick, and the mountain scenery is fantastic. Will have Ethan tomorrow and Wednesday before going back to work on Thursday. Will definitely swim much of the day tomorrow, I hope.
