Yes! Beat the heat by all means! I don't know about So Cal, but here in the north it is supposed to be in the 100s starting this Friday for over 7 days in a row. Plus it is getting light early enough.
Me? I would have to get up even earlier to get my coffee fix!
So, you're in Fullerton/Brea?
Oh, one other thing: beet pills! Don't forget to take them with a dirty mouth (this is called a tangential snipe--don't mind me!).
