Today was the first time in months that I had to turn on the hot water in the shower. See, we just don't have cold water here in the summer - so we keep the shower turned all of the way to cold. But sometimes if you take a shower in the afternoon or evening the water's still too hot.

Weather.com says that right now it's 79 degrees out at 6:30 am, which I think is the first time I've seen it in the 70s, too. Granted, the sun just rose at 6:20 am, so it's barely day yet.

But still, that's progress ...
