It's a small thing, but it's amusing.
The high in Honolulu Monday was 92 degrees. It was the hottest June 15 since the National Weather Service started keeping track and the 8th straight day we've broken or tied a record. But was it really that hot?
Seems that NWS sent somebody out with a calibration thermometer to do a routine check of the official thermometer at the airport and discovered it read two degrees higher than the test equipment's reading.
Oh well. Surf's up!

We finally air conditioned the bedroom last year (couldn't do the whole house since this is a 1969 house with all louvered windows) and when the temp gets too hot, I retreat there with a good book or two and chill! :-)
