Much cooler weather today, largely thanks to thunderstorms. A high of on 82F, with a heat index of 88F.

I finished reading Fire in Paradise (which I began only the day before), then began Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea, the story of the loss of the Andrea Gale. It's hard to believe that book, published in ( Read more... )

Yeah, so...I hardly slept. I was awake around 3:30 a.m., the got up at 5, I think. But I wrote. In fact, I wrote a very good section of The Night Watchers, a total of 1,175 words in two and a half hours. But the day was cold than yesterday. Our high was only 59F, and tomorrow will be colder. We currently had warning for both forest fires and ( Read more... )

We had a red flag alert today. A forest fire warning. I've been worried about that, it has been so dry after such a dry, hot summer. Our high today was 78F.

It was a very budy, hectic day. At the beginning of it, I managed to get another 1,988 words of The Night Watchers, written ( Read more... )

Overcast most of the day, but I don't think there was any rain. We could really use some rain. It's been a long time, and I'm beginning to worry about forest fires, which tend to happen here in the spring and the autumn. Today's high was 77F ( Read more... )

Weird sky today. The smoke reached us, the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. We did get that Blade Runner 2049 sky like the northeast got, but we did get a level orange air quality alert. Our high was 96F ( Read more... )

Sunny, and while it won't be as warm as they originally forecast, we may reach 80˚F today. Here is the last gasp of "summer." Currently, it's 73˚F. Happy Labor Day. Too bad America saw fit to send almost all it's jobs overseas, to take advantage of countries that permit something just barely shy of slave labor ( Read more... )

It's halfway to a summer day here in Providence green autumn. I had a psychiatrist appointment today. Those are always fun, boy howdy. Today I told her, forthrightly, that my seeing her was utterly pointless. As are most things in my life. She just stared at me. It's not that she's a bad woman, but I've dealt with psychiatry and psychology now ( Read more... )

At least the sun's out. Even if it's only 65˚F. Even if the trees are turning. Blegh.

Yesterday was a violent and blustery day of clouds.

Yesterday was spent reading back over and editing what currently exists of Cherry Bomb, eliminating continuity errors between it and Pink Delicious. By the way, if you've an interest in such trivia, Pink ( Read more... )
