I actually turned the a/c off and opened all the windows yesterday. So far, so good. Working in the attic today may be challenging. I may just have to turn it back on.Supposed to get up to 83 today, but only 65 tomorrow. Sounds like our a/c might be on today, but it's been some time since that was the case.

The shortened week messed up my garbage takeout schedule. Luckily the recycling guys are running late, so I had a chance to put my bottles and cans out this morning.I nearly forgot on Monday night as well.

I've got another commute day ahead of me tomorrow. I'll enjoy working remotely today with the house all to myself... And the dog.Nothing like that quiet that settles over the house whenever everyone else is out.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1777, the U.S. flag was flown in battle for the first time during a Revolutionary War conflict at Cooch's Bridge, Del.
In 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, officially ending the American Revolutionary War and recognizing U.S. independence from Britain.
In 1914, Giacomo della Chiesa is elected pope, taking the name Benedict XV. His papacy lasted more than seven years until his death at 67 in 1922.
In 1916, the Allies turned back the Germans in the World War I Battle of Verdun.
In 1936, Britain's Malcolm Campbell set a land-speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, averaging 301.129 mph in two runs.
In 1930, a Category 4 hurricane struck the Dominican Republic, killing at least 2,000 people, though some estimates put the death toll much higher. It is the fifth deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record.
In 1939, Britain declared war on Germany and was quickly joined by France, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada.
In 1942, Frank Sinatra began his solo singing career after leaving Tommy Dorsey's orchestra.

In 1997, Arizona Gov. Fife Symington was convicted of fraud by a federal jury in Phoenix. He resigned two days later.
In 2004, a three-day school crisis ended in a 13-hour battle between security forces that stormed a school building in Beslan, Russia, and Chechen terrorists who had opened fire on hostages. Nearly 350 people, including about 155 children, were killed. All but one of the 31 suspected hostage-takers also died.
In 2005, William H. Rehnquist, the chief justice of the United States, died at the age of 80 after a long bout with thyroid cancer. He had been on the Supreme Court since 1971.
In 2007, wealthy, record-setting U.S. adventurer-aviator Steve Fossett, 63, vanished on a short flight in western Nevada. He was declared dead five months later. Among his many records, he was the first person to fly around the world solo in a balloon and first to fly around the globe solo without refueling.
In 2012, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church, died in South Korea. He was 92.
In 2013, Ariel Castro, 53, who was sentenced to life plus 1,000 years for holding three young women captive for a decade, and sexually assaulting them, hanged himself in his cell at the Correction Reception Center in Orient, Ohio.
In 2014, the CVS Pharmacy chain stopped selling cigarettes and other tobacco products.

Oh, and forgot to mention - apparently, you can get your permit by taking the test online here if you're 19, so the oldest took it last night (without telling us) and passed. So now she just has to go to a location to take a vision test and get the actual thing. Then, she'll try to get in practice and take the test before the end of the month. Currently, you don't have to take driver's ed if you're 18 or over. But that changes next month, where now everyone has to take it, regardless of age. I told her you can wait if you want, but since you dragged your feet this long, if you have to take the class, you're paying for it. That lit a fire. :DI should look into it here. My 19 year old is also without a permit or license.
