Yep, that was the temperature and heat index in New York City today.
The bad news is that it was absolutely miserable outside. The good
news is that I think it kept the crowd down for the trip to the Statue
of Liberty. Thus, we completed that trip in a couple of hours and
still had time to visit Ground Zero, eat lunch and go shoe shopping in
Times Square before heading to Yankee Stadium in time for batting
practice.

We had a productive visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as
Logan met his objective of seeing the family names among the
immigrants as well as enjoying other names including the Zyzyk
families who have the last immigrant name on the walls and, after
their arrival in the USA, whose children were always last in line in
grade school.

Game time (7:05 PM) weather conditions were 100/105 but a cooling
trend brought it down to 91/95 at 10:45 pm on our walk from the subway
to the hotel. We saw an exciting and then boring game with the
Yankees scoring 14 runs in the second and third innings on their way
to a 17 to 7 route of the Athletics. A three run homer by Nick
Swisher and a grand slam by Mark Teixeira in the same inning were the
highlights on a night that saw the highest temperatures yet recorded
at the new Yankee Stadium.

Back to the Stadium tomorrow unless I play the “elderly need to stay
indoors” card with the grandsons.
