If anyone is taking bets on me going 15 months without grog. I'm sure "no" is the big favorite. But I'm in my 12th day now. From July 5, 1805 to Sept. 13, 1806 the Lewis & Clark Expedition went 434 days without any booze. Now they faced must harder challenges like crossing the Rocky Mountains on foot and with horses and making their own canoes out of trees to float up and down mighty rivers. But If I can just face one small challenge that Lewis & Clark did then I feel part of the expedition in some small way.
Back in 2005, I went for a run along the Arroyo Grande urban trail about 8:30 am. It was already in the 90s heading for a high of 113. Got the car washed. Those poor souls working outdoors all day in this heat. Then grocery shopping at Albertsons. But the point of this story is more than two hours after I started out this morning, the coffee in my travel mug was just as hot if not hotter than when I left. So this extreme heat is good for something.
