Levy Trail/38th Street Loop

It's hard for me to not gawk at this weather. Yesterday it got to 91°F, the seventh time this month, this July, that the temperature has reached ninety or above. This afternoon, at 2:26, it's 83 in Levy. I alternated one-minute jogs with four-minute walks to complete two miles on the Levy Trail in 25:55, and ten minutes later I'm already dry. Crazy. They say it will reach the mid- to high-nineties this weekend.

This evening I walked the 38th Street Loop in 31:35.

DID YOU KNOW...

...there's a brand of women's underwear called Spanx®? That's great. I saw a display in Dillard's, or JCPenney last night. What are some potential rival brands? How about Spitz? Or maybe Spelunkers? Tap?

OVERHEARD

"You steppin on out, ain't ya?"

—one of two sixty-year-old men sitting on the open tailgate of an almost antique, orange-and-white Chevy pickup that was parked on a dirt driveway off 37th Street. "I'm trying to," I responded. He said, "I heard that."
