Scorching heat

We have been suffering from a heat wave for about five days. It has been about 38 C/ 100 F on average! I went to Ojai up the hills and also dropped Christian off at Magic Moutains and it was even hotter. Impossible to go on hikes before 5pm. Besides the temperature didn't cool off in the night as it normally does and the only cool place was the beach, so off to Malibu like everyone else! Unfortunately people create even more heat with the air conditionning and there were power cuts over the past two days in the area. Article in L.A. Times: Heat may be to blame in 4 deaths
