The rains came today, and it seems they will stay a while. I was beginning to worry about wildfires. Today's high was only 82.9F, with a heat index of 89F. Hardly needed the AC, except to curb the humidity.

I spent the morning line-editing "Untitled 47," the put together Sirenia Digest 218, which will go out tomorrow morning. I also signed a ( Read more... )
