HIPPYVALLEY

Great moderate soaking rain for at least an hour here today. Yard is happy.

I’m not used to this weather. The breeze is a little bit chilly. I don’t like oppressive heat, but I do like to be warm in the summer. I especially like warm evenings and tonight is not that.

seems fine

Yeah, it’s been weird how dark it’s been for the past four hours.

It’s like 8 PM dark in downtown Greenfield right now. Crazy.

Peaked at 84° today in downtown Greenfield. It was definitely humid, but steady breeze all day.

This isn’t the smoke I prefer to bathe myself in.

The sun is now completely obscured in the valley. I can taste the smoke in the air and the motion detector nightlight outside the brewery flicked on because it’s so dark right now. Killing a heat wave with smoke was not on my bingo card.

Greenfield actually got about .10” between the morning shower and the heavier afternoon shower. Very fortunate, good for the gardens and trees.

I believe that years ago, I read that a Carrington event would lead to the death of over half the populations of major cities within 6 weeks.

You have a better chance for a major ice storm than a major hurricane in SNE.

What a top 10 summer day today was!

It will be a classic “strong Nino” winter though.
