Where to Go in a Heat Wave

98 degrees Fahrenheit, 36.66 degrees Celsius -- today's predicted high according to the National Weather Service. A cool iced tea in the Pineapple Room at Cheekwood, a walk along the shadier paths of its botanical garden (now enhanced with Chihuly hand-blown glass sculptures), and a cool tour of the air-conditioned art museum might be one good plan for the afternoon.

    Pretty hot here in England, too, just now. That orange-juice looks nice and cool!
    Where I'm heading is another swim in the sea! :-)

    I've been reading your swimming reports on Facebook. Wonderful that you've been having such a good time!
