  Tina was right; it's unbelieveably hot for this time of year. I would also like to add my two cents and make sure everyone is keeping well-hydrated.
I made my own lovely pitcher of lemonade yesterday and hope to drink that instead of the three million sodas I've been drinking! I remember a fishing trip I took a few years ago, during the last week of July. I was on a fishing river, not a swimming river...the water is about 55 degrees.
However, the water was perfect for dipping a shirt or towel into and covering my sunburned shoulders. Which leads me into my stupidity...I have a lopsided sunburn because the pool chair I sat in yesterday hurt way too much to turn over and get my back. So, I have a distinct bright red line marking where I neglected two things: sunscreen and the "brown-on-one-side-then-turn- over" edict. I graduated high school in 1999, which was the year the sunscreen song came out. It's the truth...wear it! I'm miserably pink...
