Three days in a row they predicted thunderstorms, three days in a row we got bupkis.
Earlier today it said we were under a heat advisory until Wednesday at 6, now it's lasting until Thursday at 8. We're also under an air quality advisory, and Ana has track tomorrow.
God damn it.
We went to the pool today (special late hours, probably because of the aforementioned heat advisory), stayed there the entire afternoon. OMG the kids are exhausting. (But did they have the decency to get nicely tuckered out? No, no they did not.)
