I already hear the pushback... Well there have been record highs too! The narrative is out. Around here, the earliest deer activity of my lifetime. Food is going to be very expensive if the sun and heat keep hiding. I trust the deer instinct on this one... Start stocking early.
Fruit trees bearing early in ND, and it is rare the tomatoes are ripe in early August. Seems like a short summer here, too.
Yup. Just the other day (yesterday I think) the local lib-rag posted an article chronicling the hottest July for Reno NV “on record” since 1888. Notice the key words “on record”? Pretty sure it’s been hotter sometime and colder another time. Pretty startling news. Good new is that Hot August Nights is kicking off today (officially 6-10th) and the classic cars are already being spotted in abundance all over town. WOO HOO!!!!
