Sunny most of the day, but some clouds moving in this afternoon. Once again, an open window day in November. Our high was a very pleasant 73F.

I overslept again, not waking until after 7:30 a.m., BUT...I still managed to get back to work on The Night Watchers - finally - and did 1,298 words. And I did two hours on the early Eocene Bashi Marl ( Read more... )

Overcast all day, but not rain, like yesterday Our high was 71F. Suddenly, the leaves are turning.

Up before 6 a.m. I went through a bunch of my notes on The Night Watchers. Tomorrow Kathryn and I have to talk through some of "what happens next" (a loathsome phrase), and then I can get back to actually writing it. Later in the morning, I organized ( 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... )

Sunny morning, but the afternoon grew overcast. The high was 85F.

A weird fucking night. I was so upset over the events of yesterday, I didn't think I would be able to sleep, and then I passed out without taking any of my meds (that terrible handful). I woke at 3 a.m., panicked, then realized I was panicked because I forgot the pills. So I took ( Read more... )

The extreme heat warning delivered. Our high was 85F, with a heat index of 111F. Thunderstorms came in the evening and broke the heat. We have an extreme heat warning again for tomorrow.

It was an very, very bad day, and I have almost nothing to say about it.

I helped Bill Schafer round up some blurbs for Bradbury Weather (please preorder), and ( Read more... )

Hot and sunny today. Some haze. Our high was 91F, with a heat index of 94F.

As indicated by the entry's icon, the afternoon's comfort film was Denis Villeneuve's Dune (Part 1) (2021).

Today I finished reading From the Land of Fear* "The Sky is Burning ( Read more... )

Another sunny day; the humidity was much higher. The high temperature was 88F ( Read more... )

And there I missed six days without meaning to miss six days. COVID_19 time is slippery.

But there also has not been much to write about. I'm trying to work, and most days I don't manage to do much more than try. I've begun a novel (again) and there's a Secret Project I can't talk about and there's Winifred and the Pleistocene cave matrix. But I'm ( Read more... )
