Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Very hot
A titmouse was up early wanting seeds. The Argiope in the back yard moved around the corner so became visible in a side window. Of course the window looked filthy. It caught something and bundled it up. Little bees drank milkweed nectar and an even tinier bee sucked up mountain mint juice. A duskywing skipper also went for the mountain mint. I squeezed in a swim in the morning before three meetings in three different libraries. The wind was strong but felt like it was coming from a blast furnace. At every traffic light, dragonflies danced in the thermals off the asphalt. Each time I got in the car, it claimed to be over 100 but driving brought it down into the 90s. (The NWS said low 90s but it was hotter.) The sun set behind altostratus clouds, making the sky golden.
