73, clear

high of 88 called for this afternoon.....it will stay cool enough in the house, probably about 70 with the windows shut.....if it starts to get much warmer inside I can open some windows and let the breeze in.....got groceries, and got the gas bill in the mail and paid it.....got chicken legs, and a can of chicken to make chicken salad sandwiches for lunches.....drumsticks enough for two meals I think....and enough beer brats for two or three hot weather suppers of brat subs on wheat rolls, with cole slaw.....I'll mix up a big batch of slaw tomorrow I guess, today start with chicken, peas, fried potatoes.....also got two Chinese take-out boxes from the frozen foods section.....they say they are complete meals.....four dollars for two of them and an additional nickel off the pump price at Shell....this is for sure nicer weather than that cold snap....
