I treated myself to a visit with my friend Jan on this lazy Sunday afternoon. She's just returned from a trip to Arizona, where she obtained a couple of items at Trader Joe's for me. It's a treat not only because we get to indulge in some girl talk, but I get kisses from the world's friendliest dog, Teddy, and I can stand and gape at her breathtaking view of the anchorage. Looming over it all are the Tetas, our most famous landmark, magically covered with green after the recent rains. They're called Las Tetas de Cabra because they're said to look like the teats of a goat. To me, the vertical rock on the taller peak looks like a thumbs-up signal.
Today has been one of the hottest of the year, and we're all lying low with the AC cranked on full blast. Here's Teddy, with his rubber chicken, spread out flat on the cool tile floor. Isn't he gorgeous?

yes, teddy is gorgeous and so is the view. how about you send us some heat, that way we'll both be better off? it is 59 right now and totally cloud covered even though the forecast says partly cloudy. it will remain this way through tuesday and then we are supposed to get some sunny days. glad i took my family hiking thurs. and fri. because the rain started yesterday. it's typical seattle weather but usually not at this time of the year ;-(

I'd love to distribute some heat in your direction. It hardly seems fair it would be so chilly up there in August. Just hang in there until Tuesday, amiga. I guess it's good for your garden, anyway.
Hot hot is hot? The view is pretty wonderful as you suggest ;-)
TEDDY!!!! I cant help but say that everytime I see him. Lucky you.
Cute dog! Great view!
Calypso - Hovering around 100 right now, which is really no worse than anywhere else. September is the hottest, with least wind, but we also get the rains then so it evens out.
A good friend (now deceased) of mine here in Pátzcuaro always poo-pooed views. He never understood why people were interested in views. I never understood why he was not interested in views.
A good view is a spiritual thing. Maybe now he understands.
