I heard that today's temperature was higher than 100 degrees but this is what my car's thermometer said.

We Had A Record Dew Point
It is very hot and humid plus the record dew point created so much moisture on the outside of the windows that we can't see out.

Heavy rain washed away the train track's support and caused a freight train to derail.
The yellow stuff in the lower left is corn.

Road Kill Barbie
No, I didn't do in Barbie; she obviously couldn't get out of the way quickly enough with those pointy little feet.

Heat Lightning and Fireworks
We were watching the Park Rapids, MN fireworks show and a storm came up. This photograph was taken while heat lightning played across the horizon, The next photo was taken immediately after; notice the smoke is the same.

Summer Solstice Standing Broom Trick
During the Summer Solstice you can balance a broom vertically and it will stand by itself. Cool.

The Perfect Suncreen
OK, other than sitting under an umbrella while wearing a hat.
I originally bought this brand 8 years ago at Xcaret in Mexico; it's biodegradable and ecologically safe. I'm allergic to all sunscreens but this one so I was extremely happy to find it.
The company is Caribbean Sunlife and I guard it since I've only found it while on vacation. It gives me a good reason to keep returning to the tropics; I need to buy additional sunscreen.

My Dog Loves To Dance But Carrie Is Superb
I am certain that she dances better than I do, perhaps she could teach me the merengue.

Moss Covered Tree Trunk in Itasca State Park
We were at the park shortly after dawn and had the park mostly to ourselves.
If I were a forest fairy I think I'd like to live in this tree trunk.

Doritos Taco and Cheeseburger Chips
My daughter was at a party last night where she tried these chips, they are probably the freakiest thing I ever ate.
When you open the Doritos Late Night Tacos at Midnight chips you immediately smell lettuce. The chip tastes exactly like a Taco Bell taco. You can taste the mediocre taco meat, lettuce, cheese and taco shell all on one chip.
The Doritos Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger tastes like a McDonalds cheeseburger including ketchup, mustard, pickles, and a salty cheeseburger. It's not even chip salty, it's fast food hamburger salty. I have no idea how they did it.

Frosty Glasses
It's rather brisk around here lately. My DH's eyeglasses were totally frosted over over being outside for a few minutes.

Powers Minnesota Map
Powers is an Department Store that went out of business in Minnesota at least 10 years ago. This is a giant size postcard with a cartoon map of the state. There's no date but it predates zip codes. I would wonder why someone kept this for at least 50 years but then I would need to explain why I bought it.
