Every cold mid range falls away to warmth to hot. I’ll be amazed if this summer isn’t top 5 for most of us.

-52.6 outside my window. I’m not dressed for this should something catastrophic happen.

Lovely day! I enjoy my heat but love the gathering planned in near perfect outdoor wx today. It should be hot Sunday onward for a few days and like the past few weeks, cooldowns are short lived.

Damn-I missed 48 hours of my life!

Looks like the 4th is kind of perfect. Warm enough to swim with comfortably dews.

That’s cranky.

And some of us were alive and old enough to remember the 50s.

Particularly when heat and hurricanes are kind of a necessary tandem.

Meanwhile BOS hit 91 today.

Damn-I’m gonna miss the potential hundy. Heading to Chicago Sunday for a father and daughter visit.

Kind of too late I think although the hottest portion of summer is historically ahead of us. I met 2 friends for dinner last Tuesday. I usually walk but after I parked my car in my secret free spot, I started walking and realized it was really dumb to try 3 miles with the temperature over 100 and the sun still blazing. So the Green Line was right there at Coolidge Corner and thankfully the ac was working. I decided to get off at Kenmore and walk the half mile to the restaurant. I noticed there wasn't anyone older than 4 decades younger than me on the street. I walk 5-8 miles every day and I felt the half mile walk. As soon as I walked into the restaurant someone handed me a cold glass of water and a seat at the bar. I walked back to Kenmore after dinner and took the Green Line back to Coolidge Corner and then drove home. I still went out to walk a few miles close to midnight with my wife. Temperatures were still mid 80s even in my hilly leafy neighborhood. Last week was close to as crazy hot as it can get around here.

Absolutely gorgeous day. 80s and comfortable with clear skies.

That weekend is seared in both of our brains. 1966 and 1975 were all timers particularly since there was less widespread ac. 1995 and more recent hundreds were dramatic but ac was more widespread especially post 2000.

Age will do that. There are pharmacological interventions nowadays…

I get some of the other arguments but I’m trying to figure out how being pissed at your mother is assuaged by a change in area code. By the time cells started to become widely used, I got mine in 2000. Thankfully 617 still had room. I imagine I’ll have that one until the end.
