Wasn't it Irving Berlin who wrote..."We're having a Heat Wave...a Tropical Heat Wave"?

Mornin'! Well if it was Irving Berlin's words or not..."we're having a heat wave" and there's no question about it. We're experiencing the feel of the tropics in WW as of late. Get this...it's currently 80 degrees and the sun's not up yet. Actually it's up, it's just behind the morning clouds as the sun is struggling to come alive over the island. No breeze if you call NW breezes at 4mph a breeze. Not much movement outside as I look at the shrubs and trees. It's thick and heavy outside. The winds will remain from the NW but increase a bit to 10mph today. Temps will be in the 90's. There's a 10% chance of a thunderstorm later. Sounds like we might want to water the gardens. High tide is 5:56p.m. and ocean temp remains refreshing at 76 degrees. I'm placing all bets on a perfect beach day with a couple conditions...an umbrella with a spray bottle of water to keep wet, cool and in the shade; footwear to cross the hot sand; and plan on being in the water so cover up with waterproof sunblock. Now you're set. Oh...the weekend's looking even hotter as Irving Berlin's memorable tune will be tough to get out of our heads!
