No chance of getting as high as 93f here even in the height of Summer. Off topic but I thought you may be interested. I have a plugin which checks for broken links and your blog is always one of them. I found out what the problem is and manually fixed the most recent comment which you made. The link for your site which you submit has an apostrophe in grandmother's!1! your actual url doesn't have this apostrophe. I just removed the apostrophe and hey presto.
