@lioness, Yes, I was so surprised on a visit to San Francisco with daughter in the fall that Sept-Nov were the warmer months. I will be eternally grateful that I was visiting her there on 9/11. At least we were together to experience the unfolding horror and uncertainty. Will make extra ice cubes to send to you and others in "hotspots" now. Maybe an extra lemonade with your chair exercises for the next hottest days?
