It's never been this hot for anyone in Portland under the age of 35 years old. Even the bullfrogs in the pond are croaking.
Borders Books announced liquidation sales to begin, and despite warnings for people to curtail their vigorous activity in the heat, the line waiting to buy books snaked around the store almost twice. Poor Borders. It was a store to love, even though none of my books were on the shelves. I looked for a wedding shower gift, but left with empty sweaty palms.
Hopefully the Mad Hatter wedding shower this afternoon will be held indoors and be air conditioned. But it's not likely, with all the tents and accouterments erected outside in the neighbor's back yard. Powder, clothes from India, and a parasol may be required.
