Loads of rain overnight as two severe storms merged into one grand slam. A brief power outage woke me up and then the wind and rain hit. No hail, thank goodness. And the rain was much needed September is really going well so far. Nice temps, and lots of rain.
The weather really did change. It's been cool and wet the last few days. It feels great. It might start warming up a bit and drying out, but no record heat on the horizon, and at least some rain chances continue.
It's not very hot right now and it's getting cloudy. Cool mornings, mild days and rain are in prospect.
Yesterday morning it was very nice so I worked outdoors. And yet, it was a record high of 104 F, beating the old record of 99 F set on that date in 2012. And again, this morning, it was cool with a refreshing breeze and I got a lot more done but the forecast calls for yet another record high. And then, perhaps, a drastic change. I could do with a drastic change. Humans have certainly screwed up the planetary weather machine, and there will be a high price in human life, sooner than most think. Homo Sapiens is clever, among the anthropoid apes, but still, there is too much ape behavior. You can put the brains in the monkey, but you can't get the monkey out of the brains, it seems. But evolution is a slap-dash and short-sighted mechanism, so what else can you expect?
This string of broken records is like a broken record. Ha. Not funny. Global warming is a fact, but you can always find some senile putz/toady who will deny it. Ideology has nothing to do with it-- global warming, caused by human activity, is a FACT. And it WILL get hotter, and hotter, and hotter... and I find it impossible to find even a scrap of sympathy for Homo Sap. Failed species are a dime a dozen, and humanity is headed for the scrap heap. Unfortunately we'll take a lot of other species down with us. A vulture is a far finer creature than the typical human. I'm in one of those moods this morning. It's the heat, Pete.
