We're having a heat wave

We've been informed by our local weathered meteorologist that we are having the first "heat wave" since in the 1999 in the Portland, Maine area. That would be at least three straight days of 90 degrees or higher. Forecast calls for a couple more days of that then... HEAD FOR THE HILLS, Hurricane Earl is headed this way! Suppose to swing by Maine along the coast, remains to be seen how close it will come. Nothing like a drive-by hurricane to start the Labor Day weekend. Of course we have a campground trip planned and - it's near the coast. Guess we should be prepared to batten down the hatches. At the likely least we'll get some rain Friday into Saturday then Earl will be up along the Canadian Maritime Provinces and Sunday here should be good. Carol and I are hoping that Sunday turns out nice as part of the reason for camping in the region is to visit Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Observatory which is part of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The Observatory overlooks the Penobscot Narrows River Valley and should present a wonderful view. Now's where's that packing list, need to add rain gear and sunscreen.
