Can it get any hotter?

Last night the shy put on an electrical show for the ages.  At first I thought it was the reflection from the TV or the lights from the airport.   But no.  Heat lightening galore.  I turned off the lights and the TV, sat on the window ledge and watched the sky light up -- sometimes in streaks and other times in bursts.  Being on the 10th floor made me a bit nervous, but the view was spectacular.

Unfortunately, we didn't get any rain or relief from the humidity.  The temperature was 80 at 6:45am and 94 at 6:15pm when I walked past the sign at the metro.  The heat index put it at 101.  I feel silly complaining when our troops in Iraq have the heat plus uniform and body armor to wear.  What is a little 94 compared to what they are facing.  I still would prefer 80 with a slight breeze and the dew point in the low 50s.

On a different note, I got a thrill today.  I got to pick this up:

I applied a few weeks ago and it came back today.  I have a little bit of nerve tingly feeling knowing that it has my photo and bio data on the inside.  Who would have thought I would ever have one of these?
