Farming is risky and getting riskier.

There was also a heat dome in Africa. The news really does skip the rest of the world with some exceptions.

No one likes to talk about farming now that Megan is not here much.

The high here yesterday was 52 and it's 57 and hailing right now. So my plants are dying for different reasons.

It was supposed to be dangerous hot here today, but it doesn't feel bad. I think it may have missed the worst? Anyway, I'm cooking hotdogs that are against everyone's religion (beef and pork and no antibiotics) and I'm not even warm.

After it being pretty cool for most of our month here, we're finally getting what one local paper is calling a "scorcher" in Edinburgh this week the day we leave: high of 72!

It's 80 here. The high was supposed to be 96.

i5: It was pretty hot by Pburgh standards midday. We were without power from yesterday afternoon until ~10 AM due to vary strong winds. One where I could hear the trees snapping over at the nearby park. Heading up to Vermont tomorrow where there will be little relief until Friday.

I heard about the outages, but we were fine so in the tradition of American responses to climate change, I ignored the news.

We nearly had a hard freeze last night. Three days ago we nearly broke 100.
