“Now these hot days is the mad blood stirring.” – Romeo and Juliet

We’ve had 100 degree temperatures for over a week now in St. Louis.  I hear it’s even worse in other parts of the Midwest and in the eastern United States.  1.7 million people apparently don’t have any power.  I don’t know if it’s the heat to blame, but I haven’t been able to sleep for a few nights now.  Awake at around three in the morning, drinking coffee and eating cookies by four.  I sure hope something breaks soon and I can get a cool and complete night’s rest…zzzz….
