That Time of Year
We don't have air conditioning. We don't need it. And yet, there are a few weeks during summer when it does get pretty warm at night. Years ago I bought a window fan, kind of like this one:
(Though not quite as fancy) and it works great. The temp cools down enough at night so that we can suck in cool air while we sleep (and the ceiliing fan helps distribute it) and suck out the warm air during the day. I like how it works and still find I need to sleep under a light cover, even on the warmest nights to come.
It's late in July and somehow I keep thinking it is late August. Not sure why. Do I want the year to be further along? No. Is it that hot? Not really. Maybe because I have a job coming up and so I'm feeling time fly.
Still plenty of the Tour left though, to make it seem like July is still with me.

New Morning Walk Route
I added about another 15-20 minutes to my morning walk route. I know the key to losing weight is to exercise more, eat in moderation. I'm focusing on the "exercise more" part.
It is a gorgeous, post rain LA morning and I was amazed at how little traffic there was on the 405 at 8am. I mean look:
Later in the walk I came across this little dude on the sidewalk:
Next time I'll step in and see where it takes me.
