They said on the news tonight that we had 5 days of 105F+ temps here.

Amazing what a 10 degree (F) temperature change feels like.

It dropped to 87F the other evening, and I was shivering.

On the news yesterday the national weather service said that the 12 months just ending was the hottest on record.

AARRGGHHHHH it was 111 F. today in San Bernardino, California. ON an interesting note, the news said my city voted to declare bankruptancy.

What I find interesting, River, is that data collected recently about Pluto and Mars shows such an increase in global warming, that if the Earth experienced such a temperature rise, we'd probably be extinct by now. In fact, Pluto has even changed color. Storms on Saturn and Jupiter, and color shifts in Neptune and Uranus, with their perturbed orbits, or course.

Shall we impose carbon taxes on the Martians then? You know they're there - they're just Photoshopping the Rover images so we don't see them.

Hell yes, tax the hell out of them, Air Tax, Transfer Tax, Long Distance Tax, Alien Tax, Stamp Tax and TEA TAX.

Here in Central Oregon my electronic thermometer says 101 right now and I have the outside sensor under the eaves in the shade. I am glad that winter is on it's way, after all the days started getting shorter back on June 22 or so. Would be a wonderful temperature if you were sitting by (or in) the lake or creek, not so good if you are working in it.

Heat wave in Portland, OR. It almost made it to 90° F. I thought I was going to melt.

All kidding aside, I like Portland weather. The only place I lived that had better year around weather was San Diego. Anymore, cloudy and 65° is ideal weather for me. At the most, we have one week out of the year that the temperature hits 100°, and we didn't have one of those weeks last summer. This is as hot as it's been this summer.

Last winter seemed to last longer, but was warmer than usual. No snow or ice events for two years, now, which is unusual. Damn, I'm like a kid where it comes to snow anymore. If it snows, I usually get a day or two paid days off work. Four or five inches of snow will shut Portland down.

My sister and other close family (close to me in miles and relationship) want to move to Texas to be closer to our family, which is about all in Texas. I'll have to get damn lonely before I consider moving to Texas because of the weather, and because I think it would be akin to moving to a foreign country. It has a George W. Bush airport and Rick Perry for governor. Nuff said.
