    Remember the days
    When we used to survive without all the AC? It seems like a different kind of hot these days. Of course, all older people say that. You have to wonder, though, what it would be like if sun spot activity, solar flares and such, suddenly wiped out the power grid for the month of August? Going to the mall wouldn't be an option. Checking your elderly neighbors would become a responsibility. Switching over to a more reliable food supply sans fridge. It all adds up to a degree of misery we'd all rather not experience. Experts say it is more likely than not.

    That triple-digit heat wave
    Pulling into NC today. With a heaping dose of humidity in tow, I hear. Three words to explain why it's easier to cope with this kind of heat where I live now compared to anywhere else I've ever lived: central air conditioning. Hotter than a match head, indeed, Ted! Stay cool, folks. Positive vibes to the people dealing with wild fires and anyone trying to survive this oven with just a fan, or less, for relief.

    The heat is on
    Hot town, summer in the cityBack of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head... (Mark Sebastian 1966) Hard to believe Lovin' Spoonful sang this song 46 years ago! Meanwhile it's literally hotter than hell in most of the US this week. In Kansas, we'll be over 100 with no precipitation in sight. Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming for our friends in the mountains. Looking forward to our US Supreme Court decision in a few minutes....

    First, it's a horror in Ohio with 3 dead at Chardon High School, then deadly twisters rip through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and possibly in Kentucky or Tennessee today. In Kansas, we had 70 degree temps yesterday, now it's snowin w large flakes, confusing birds, humans and spring flowers alike. !!

    Rain is but a tease in south KC this morning: 72 degree temp is very nice, but we can't seem to squeeze any rain outta them grey clouds. Meanwhile, up north of KC, rain is supposed to fall, Interstate 29 is still closed for the Missouri river flooding (thank you South Dakota!) the lowlands from Omaha south into Kansas and Missouri. Newsman this morning says they are diverting Joplin tornado FEMA funds to help pay for Irene's storm damage back east....

    Death toll rises to 5 in Vermont
    20 towns remain cut off from the outside world in Vermont. The devastation has been staggering. There are no people in the state, no matter how old, who can remember such a flood. Where there are towns connected to roads, bridges and pavement have been washed away. People are staggering around with a glazed look in their eyes. Many have lost everything and extremely few have flood insurance. This has been an extreme tragedy. No one had any real idea that this was possible...

The other end of Andalucia is adventurous, as ever! Tell me about this Andalucia holiday Thursday-all I know is have 2 days off, but have no idea what we are celebrating. Was stormy here the end of last week, and on Saturday, but now is around 25 in the afternoon, and SUN SUN SUN. Can leave my windows open all day and all night now. And am digging the strawberries in the fruit shops!!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

It is beautiful here now. Warm days and cool nights and badgers can emerge from hibernation. Last week I sat in the garden in shorts and T shirt while my wife cut my hair! Last night soft steady rain to refresh everything and water the fruit trees we planted. Many flowers out now and some birds singing. Peregrine falcons and ravens getting frisky and aerobatically displaying in the gorge. It can still turn nasty up here right up to April but we ain't thinking about that As they say in the home country "the saps a-risin' " he he

no it is an English badger that ate too many mushrooms ....we have wild badgers here in France (I see their footprints often) but they are very shy solitary creatures..it is only in the UK that they live colonially and are so easy to see. For anyone in the US this is a Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) as opposed to the North American Badger (Taxidea taxus) which appears from my PMs to be associated with Wisconsin. btw many of us have still not forgiven Walt Disney for portraying Friar Tuck as the wrong type of badger in the Robin Hood cartoon.....;-)

most of the badgers i have seen have been roadkills but we were leaving a friends house here one night and a badger was running down the road in front of the car, it didn't try to run off the side of the road perhaps this is a new Badger exercise regime Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

"...oh it surely looks like rain." I don't mind the rain, especially when I have things to keep me occupied. The best rains I like are in summer. You know, the rains that come and go quickly followed by mildly sweet heating of the sun. During the summer, after it rains it can be quite humid, so after the sun has set and the rain has fallen and the air is humid ... this is perfert for those gigantic bubbles ... yes bubbles so big you float away in one. If you have ever experienced these bubble wands, you know what I am talking about. Oh, how I am looking forward to summer.

What a hail storm we had in NJ last night at 2am, it was banging on our windows so hard, branches are fallen all over the place and part of my fence fell down! This morning the sky is a strange color and the clouds are flying by! Weird weather :/

Is hot as the blazes for early March. Better said for my own personal experience with early March. Around 30 degrees celcius in the sun during the day.

Mucho sunshine, temps in the 70's and a 12:30 tee time!It's a very grateful golf day for me! Gonna crank E72 all the way there, should be just finishing Jack Straw when I pull into the parking lot. I'm always amused by the reactions I get to my appearance from the random people I end up playing with. They've usually stopped scratching their heads after the first couple of holes. I ain't all that good, but I ain't all that bad either. Every once in a while, I ain't half bad at all... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

not raining now, |The sun makes the odd appearance through holes in the cloud. It is warm though, lots of the wild flowers out really early, i hope it doesn't mean a really hot summer. We still need some more rain, to build up supplies if we have a hot summer bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Possible rain tonight, and we need it. Smokey says fire danger "very high", maybe a little exagerated. Wonder what kind of dried leaves he's smoking.

Wow the sunshine is following me. 2 sunny days in Brussels and 1 sunny day in London. Now i expect some rain. When you have consecutive sunny days in Brussels and London then you have to expect at least a fucking earthquake at your next destination!!! !@#$ Rangers lost tonight, but at least i was able to see a live game from this side of the planet .
