It has been cooler in Florida than it has in Maryland this summer. It's 12:30 PM and the current temperature is 94 in the shade. It will easily hit 100 degrees f here today with the humidity of about 65 percent - just like stepping into a steam bath.

I was out on the boat for the past three days, but came home early because of the excessive heat and code red air pollution alert, which is not at all good for folks with bad lungs. Think I'll spend the day in the office today and do some paperwork that I've been neglecting.

All the best,

Gary
