Please allow me to interject my feelings about Mother Nature

big 4 is Fayetteville, Bentonville, Springdale and Rogers?

 

Yep. Just missed Bentonville and Rogers.

There is a developing JV Big 4 in Bella Vista, Centerton, Farmington and Lowell.

But without a singular dominant city, NWA will be the Quad Cities of the - South? - Southern Midwest?

NWA is a creature unto its own and as a great man once said, "It's a different world over the mountain."

 

It hasn't rained here in like 38 days. We're supposed to finally get some this evening. It's been 80 degrees the last two days, which is all and good except for the fact that we're now spending all daylight hours working, so we can't even enjoy it. I want my hoodie weather!

 

The week has been Trumpist enough. Now their weather is infecting the country. Not good.

 

I was back in the Commonwealth last week, Tuesday-Thursday in Fairfax and Thursday-Sunday in Richmond. Just absolutely perfect weather and campus/West End/River Road, with some of the trees turning, was spectacular. But I'm glad you got some rain, it was looking awfully dry.

My first cousin and I also spent a wonderful day as Manassas battlefield, which I hadn't toured since 1990. So happy they were able to preserve it from developers. We were also there for the 100-year reenactment in 1961.

 

It was 80 here the last two days. I spent the evening in a t-shirt and shorts, drinking beer on the porch.
Of course, the high for this time next week is 49.

 

Drought in NYC is causing forest fires all over. One of my favorite spots in NYC, Inwood Hill Park, few blocks from our apartment, has had a couple fires today. Inwood Hill is the oldest natural park in Manhattan.
