Inferno ahead?

We face an onslought of heat; there are reports of wildfires al over the world, as well as some on the other side of our Cascades mountain range. It's still July. As a comic strip character explained to his kid, who had asked him about global warming, "Remember when you were frying ants with a magnifying glass? Well, this time we're the ants."
Another little evening stroll, to catch and try to retain the coolness which still exists; half the city has the same idea.

The first summer we spent in Port Townsend in 2004 was hot hot hot, so I thought it was always like that. Sounds like a very similar summer this year. Hope those cooling breezes off the sound come blowing in soon.

Nice ant analogy.

It's called "Shoe." It's been around for awhile, sometimes is pretty corny.

Not yet, robin, not yet...
