Record heat is forcing all of us to cope whether we really wish to or not.
We all know the basics. We stay inside with the A/C, running for our air-conditioned vehicle whenever we just have to venture out. We drink plenty of fluids. We bring our pets inside and give them extra water, too. We check on our neighbors.
However, the heat also provides an excuse to break out the "resort wear" purchased earlier in the year while on vacation in Hawaii. So a bit of fun, a reason to smile while wearing clothing I might otherwise deem inappropriate.

Spanish Word of the Day - (((TERREMOTO)))
El Terremoto (En Chile)
From Associated Press - The State Department advises Americans seeking information on family and friends in Chile to contact the Bureau of Consular Affairs at 1-888-407-4747
Someone near and dear to my heart is somewhere in Chile. He has not checked in with family here in the states. I have only basic cable television so find myself watching Spanish language television with hopes of catching a meaningful glimpse of the chaos currently unfolding in Chile.
Rescues continue from structures knocked down by this morning's massive earthquakes ... Imagenes de Rescates
Hearing words of Dr. Arturo Chavez, Experto en Rescate, Mexico ...... on Telemundo .....
My Spanish is limited but finding that I understand more than I might have expected to understand, maybe because I care about the discussion underway.
Headlines -
Aeropuerto de Santiago ..... Closed for at least 24 hours ........
El Terremoto Duro 90 Segundos y Fue de 8.8
Suenan Las Sirenas En Hawai Por Primera Vez En 16 Anos
Edificio de 5 Anos Colapso en la Comuna De Maipu
Argentina Seria Puente de Ayuda en la Catastrofe ...........
Alerta de Tsunami en .... Pacific Basin
Tremors felt in Argentina and Brazil, tambien
Note of Interest - Chile's first female president ....... Michelle Bachelet ..
Updates in English - CNN
Note: Skype (free video phone is here!) important means of first-hand accounts from Chile and from Hawaii (tsunami concerns)
