The old adage that summer in Portland starts on July 5th really seems to be true.  With temperatures in the 90's expected for this weekend, summer in the Rose City has officially arrived.  How will you be spending the sunny days?  Hiding in air conditioned comfort?  Cooling off on the river?  Whatever you do, make sure to protect yourself.  Us Oregonians don't see the sun too often and sometimes we forget that it can be dangerous! Check out these tips from the Oregon Health Department.  Here are some tips for protecting your pets too.  My co-worker Jim Ferretti was looking for a way to keep cool in the form of a backyard pool, but the store was sold out! So here is a list of Portland Public Pools where you can beat the heat.  The city also has dozens of outdoor fountains and splash pads to entertain the kids on hot days.  Have fun out there and stay safe!
