Today we reached 100°F on “our own” local thermometer located “well in the shade” out in our lovely Patio.
Up Close And Personal..

The “Official” Temperature was “only” 94°F.
The “Official” Temperature (except at night) always seems to be lower than our thermometer.
Know What? It really was NOT all that hot to us.

This is a fun thing about Lake Havasu City. You keep seeing very familiar things after they have “had their days”.
Last Sunday, March the 2nd, we had our Havasu Deuce Show..
On our Lake Havasu Ferry Boat trip over to the Havasu Landing Casino yesterday (Monday with Eddie and Rocky) I saw the below.
I am “playing with you”. Above you are seeing passengers on our Lake Havasu Ferry. Now I will show you what I was really seeing.
I brightened up the first photo above.
A young lady wearing a HAVASU DEUCES T-Shirt!
It took me right back to..
The Deuce Coupe on her T-Shirt below looked very similar to the above Deuce Coupe.
Nifty!
Well I think so.
Fairly often I will wear my Balloon Show Volunteer T-Shirt.

WAFFLES..
When I was a small child (or so my parents told me) I used to call Waffles .. Wa-shalls.. Go Figure. This I remember. I.. Loved Waffles.. and.. I.. Still.. Love.. Waffles..
Good Day to you ..NATIONAL TODAY..
International Waffle Day is on March 25 and celebrates waffles, their history, and a surprising religious holiday.
A holiday that is best celebrated by eating waffles is our kind of holiday. Unsurprisingly the day has become a bit of a hit. It was originally celebrated in Sweden but now eager stomachs all over the world embrace International Waffle Day. Plug in your waffle maker and tuck into some mouth-watering treats.
Waffles came to Sweden near the early 1600s and quickly spread to nearby lands. They were often eaten with jams and fruits, establishing themselves as a beloved treat to be eaten at all times of the day. The event in celebration of them was called Våffeldagen which sounded remarkably close to the religious Vårfrudagen and the traditions merged.
As time passed a wider variety of waffles emerged. They became sweeter in the 1700s after more butter and sugar were added to the recipes. In 1839, the Belgian waffle was created much thicker than regular waffles and with deeper grids. The Belgian variation was more filling and held more jam and cream too.
International Waffle Day itself is the result of a mispronunciation that brought two holidays together. In Sweden, this Waffle Day is known as Våffeldagen, which sounded a lot like Vårfrudagen (Our Lady Day), a day that celebrated the Virgin Mary’s conception. Because of this lingual connection, it became customary for Swedish families to celebrate Vårfrudagen with waffles on Our Lady Day. That’s how International Waffle Day ended up being celebrated on March 25.
The Pilgrims brought the first waffles to America.
Eggo Waffles were available for consumer purchase in 1953.
Thomas Jefferson came back from France with the first waffle irons.
