    This is hardly up there with tornadoes aimed at Wrigley, but the Chatham team in the Cape Baseball League had a string of five consecutive home games fogged out last week. Foggy and 80 is a weird experience and not a pleasant one.

    In a cruel twist, I was hoping to get out to play golf tomorrow morning to beat the heat. It's supposed to storm all morning and then be 94 in the afternoon. What kind of fucked up summer shit is that? It's ALWAYS afternoon storms around here.

    Yesterday's forecast heat thinned the usual crowd but included a nice breeze, and I shot my lifetime low on an uncrowded course.

    I'll never shoot my age, but if global warming gets terrible enough, I might be able to shoot the temperature one day.

    I was excited this week because I have to cut grass and the forecast highs were only in the upper 80s. They never mentioned the humidity was coming with it and the heat index would be about 103 every day.
    Still haven't cut grass. Hoping to get to it Friday or Saturday when it's a more manageable 95/102.

    If you've lived in the upper Midwest/Mountain West long enough, you've experienced 30 or 40 below actual, and colder windchills. You stay inside, and enjoy the seven hours of sunshine on those days.

    In that story they talk about the winter of 1983-84. That truly was a bitch. I don't think it got above 10 degrees for a month.

    Many parts of Vermont are under water after the rains and floods.

    My town has been drenched too but somehow missed the flooding.

    Tornado strength winds, and lightning, just blew threw through and left this visual ...

    We had a severe thunderstorm roll through at 4 am. About 10-percent of the city is without power. Lots of trees down - mainly from gusts toppling them thanks to saturated ground from all the rain. Luckily, the giant oak in our front yard held on. But we lost a 16-inch pecan tree in the side yard.

    Unfortunately, an even more severe line of storms is expected tonight between 1 and 4 am.

    Sunny, high of 93 today, 25% humidity, no skeeters. Life is good.

    It's 90/110 right now and I'm about 80 percent of the way through finally cutting my grass. There is not a part of me that doesn't have sweat on it.
