Had to skip a bunch of pages. Way far behind. Things are going alright, except the weather. Too freaking hot. High 90's yesterday. This weekend? Triple digits, including what will likely be the highest recorded temperature here EVER. Anyone who denies climate change has their head in the sand. We in the west are LIVING IT. I dread the wildfires. They have become surreal. Last summer we had the worst air quality IN THE WORLD. Trust me, that level is VERY, VERY bad.

When the air is cool, I literally savor it.

Shout out to Beth. You have my complete empathy. Here's to making it through alright.
