Last Monday temperatures reached 113-degrees F. in downtown Los Angeles, 92 in San Fran.

Not as hot here, though we have had pleasant weather, beginning with clear blue mornings, the lawns awash in dew, followed by afternoons in the early-20s C.

I remember Mrs. Winter’s English 9/10 Canadian Literature class, on the south-facing third floor. That was a hot September too, baking in our new clothes, purchased with winter, not autumn, in mind.
