Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for July 05, 2023

There still is outside of southern California

We now have 4 in Oz; Drought, Bush fires, Storms and Floods.

Right now it’s Smoke season because of Canada.

Curiously, no one has ever been able to produce a reliable calendar authored by Nature itself. Wouldn’t help if we could. The systems kinda runs on automatic and, after eons of study, events can be relatively well anticipated, but throw in humankinds’ propensity for impulsive acts of destruction and expectation vanishes in smoke.

In WI we have two seasons. Winter…and construction.

July 4 – Monday, July 3, was the hottest day ever recorded globally, according to data from the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

The average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 Fahrenheit), surpassing the August 2016 record of 16.92C (62.46F) as heatwaves sizzled around the world.

The southern U.S. has been suffering under an intense heat dome in recent weeks. In China, an enduring heatwave continued, with temperatures above 35C (95F). North Africa has seen temperatures near 50C (122F).

Unfortunately, the northeastern part of America is suffering from toxic smoke and haze from fires in Canada…I read this will continue into the summer and fall….The air quality was in the danger zones….

We still have wildfires up here in Canada.

Pepperidge Farm remembers

Where I live in coastal NC we have fall, winter (brief), spring, and tourist. I stay home during tourist season.

Why,yes,yes I do! And “Indian summer” was a real “B” cuz schools didn’t have A/C then and those hot days just about kilt us! ;-)

Where we used to live we had four seasons; Cold/wet, warm/dry, hot/dry, cool/dry. Having moved further up the coast our winters are longer, wetter and sometimes snowy and the summers not so hot. Having lived in areas where it can get oppressively humid in the summer I am glad to be back on the left coast. Temps expected to get up into the high 20s C and lows expected to be 14 – 17º C. Sunny and hazy with cloudiness on and off throughout the week.

Winter is here and Winter is near.

Scotland seems to have 2 seasons. Dark and cold winter, and light and not quite so cold winter.

You can still have Four Seasons, their music is readily available online.

Frankie Valli still gets to sing on radio stations I listen to. Most of them are online.

Minnesota, where my family’s roots are, has 2 seasons: winter and the 4th of July. California, where I lived for 38 years, has 2 seasons: summer and Christmas. Washington, where I’ve lived for 26 years, has 2 seasons: rainy and road construction.

I was never in the place, but I heard that the Prices were through the Roof.
