The odd thing is that Linn-Mar’s early dismissal will be three hours early rather than the usual two hours early.
Neighbors across the street got their new roof today from the March storm. Usually those crews have been knocking out 1-1/2 to 2 roofs a day in my neighborhood. They were already stripping shingles when I left this morning at 6:45 and quit sometime between 8:30 and 9 tonight. Still need to lay the ridge shingles and do cleanup. Felt awful for those guys today.
Oh Lord. Whatever those guys are making, they're not paid enough.

I've lived through 50 summers, so pretty sure this one isn't going to get me
We postponed our guys until Friday. Not only is it dangerously hot in the roof, but the shingles basically start to melt when getting walked all over in this type of weather. Not worth the risk at all.
Gotcha. Your town is kinda low on the big name insurance companies. Mostly 2 independent agents cover most of the town. Although farm bureau just opened an office there. State Farm can’t get agents, last I heard they have a person with multiples there.
Many moons ago we did the same. If the evenings cooled off enough we would have a light evening practice as well.
Looking back I'm surprised this wasn't something we did even if the weather was fine.
Playing the ball, etc. is different in the lights.
It's hard to believe that it's only been over 100 in Des Moines once in the last 5 years.

It's a bit concerning when you can see the moisture in the sky this morning. It's not even really fog. It's just that "just got out of the shower and your mirror is completely fogged over" feeling.

I believe 2012 had the 11 days above 100.
And the once in 5 years in Des Moines really isn't surprising. Things go in cycles.
In the 60's it was above 100 just twice the entire decade. Two days! Once in 64' and once in 66'. In the 70's only 1974 and 1977 had days over 100. That's 20 summers with only 4 having days hit the century mark.
Then came the 80's with some of the hottest summers since the 30's. Patterns come.........patterns go.
