Now This Is Not the End. It Is Not Even the Beginning of the End. But It Is, Perhaps, the End of the Beginning

According to weather.com, August 5 is the day that West Monroe sees its first decrease in an average temperature since January. Today, the average low goes from 72 to 71 degrees. Brrr-freaking-rrr.

Also too, the average high plummets from 95 to 94 on August 13.

To give you some indication of how the recent heat wave has affected us, it was 100 today, and Adam and I were talking about how it felt so much better than the last few days. Sadly, it really was better today, even though the heat index this morning at 6 a.m. was, if I recall correctly, 92 (seriously). The last four days the highs have been 104, 106, 104, and 104, and the lows have been 79, 80, 82, and 84. Oh, and we haven't seen a temp in the 60s since May.

Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't put so much stock in those average temps...
