98º in Twin Cities!
In the Sherlock Holmes story, the reason the dog 
didn’t bark was because it recognized the intruder (providing the clue that solved the mystery).
In the case of my golden retriever, the reason he’s not barking in our backyard this evening is that he just finished a three-mile walk around Lake Calhoun (in 98º temp’s) . . . . and he’s pooped!
Given the very low (20% humidity) and how long it’s been since it was last hot here (forever), it actually feels terrific! (and not a little shocking after snow — at least for 10 minutes — on Saturday).
