    A lot of folks never trusted AC. FDR was one of them...the White House didn't get chillers until it was renovated in the Truman administration. Had a friend of a friend who was a home builder and construction big shot. His own custom home (in Burtonsville I think), was very nice, all brick, modern, but no AC. I was a little surprised, and I recall my friend saying "Oh no...Ed didn't like AC." Both gentlemen long deceased now. Heart of gold...both of them.

    Looking since just 1960, only 16 Septembers (out of 63) failed to reach 90f. It's a summer month here. Byrd stadium is a sort of solar heater, and early season games, (Noon on Saturdays back then), the temp at the game feels like 97/98; BWI hits 90. All plenty hot, even for a youngster. Add in a loss to the WV Mountaineers, and it's miserable. brief reference:

    Since the feeder got moved, the steel shepherd's hook has been sitting empty out back. I watched out the window as one of the little rocket scientists climbed up it and started chewing on the hook where the feeder used to be. At least it figured it out and went away after about a half minute. Wacky rodents.

    Just a couple weeks ago, we moved the bird feeder from the back to the front of the house, just to get the squirrels away from the garden plants. Nothing else can stop them, despite having an enthusiastic squirrel chaser of a dog. (Dog doesn't go in the un-fenced front.) And, the bird feeder is quite squirrel-proof, but they just gather under it waiting for the birds to drop seeds down. And, a couple months ago, I replaced $100 worth of high pressure fuel line on the F-150 because they chewed a hole in it. (Long story. Difficult repair) eta: The feeder we've used for about 10 years; for those that are interested. https://bromebirdcare.com/squirrelbuster-mini/

    Some have said this is a better-than-most climate site near DC, billed as Lincoln VA when you choose it, then it becomes Purcellville, in name. Anyway, if you drop that 72f on the first, the lowest max for the month is 87. (But it always drops below 80 at night , even on the 10th)
  20. GramaxRefugee

    Thunder passing to our north, plus 20 drops of rain. Maybe something else will show up.
