Well yesterday was a record day for Portland. It got up to 101 but felt like 110 without AC in the house. Luckily it wasn't actually that hot in the house but it sure felt like it. We decided to go out to dinner since cooking would have heated it up more and we wanted at least an hour or so of AC to cool off. Turns out eating in Portland and trying to find a place that actually has AC was a bit harder then we thought. We stopped by a few places to eat but with no cool air to be found we continued on. We ended up at the Laughing Planet (http://www.portlandblog.com/05-09/laughing-planet.html) on N Mississippi. The place was pretty cool and the food was cheap and yummy. They serve lots of healthy food and have a nice selection of local brews.
Just before bed I decided to hook up the window air conditioner that come with the house in our bedroom. I had to brace it in the window with the window itself, a towel, and a piece of wood to prop it up. Turns out it really works well. The room really cooled off well and we all slept nicely. Of course its not a permanent thing so it has to be taken down each day but it's going to be much cooler today and the rest of the week and will most likely not need it.
Oregon State won the "College World Series" last night in Omaha against North Carolina (3-2). Didn't watch it but sounds like it was a good game. Go Beavs!!

We followed that college world series and were rooting for Oregon State since it is a Pac 10 school and since we have a connection with Portland!
