Warning heatwave

It reached 97 degrees fahrenheit today in Los Angeles.  Luckily, the Getty Center has super-efficient air conditioning, but going outside from building to building felt like walking into a furnace.  The forecast for the next week or so is up and down but more up than down, so my sparse collection of summer clothes (I packed for autumn and winter) will get very good use over the next few days.  Off to Joshua Tree National Park tomorrow (where, being inland, it will be even hotter!) to get another fix of desert landscapes.  I will report back on Sunday...
