Fire
Lots of grumpiness at work today, the kind that makes one want to punch some people, but laughing is much more effective. Walked out to my car with farmgirl, into the smoky hot air. Campfire smell, everywhere, meaning a wildfire and a wind blowing toward us. We were dismayed, her especially since she has a market garden, and the irrigation has been on the fritz.
NOAA brought out a new graphic, or at least I don't remember this one before.
Although the forecast "areas smoke" seems annoyingly ungrammatical. "Smoky" would have been more elegant and descriptive, wouldn't you think?
It's not as miserable as in places with high humidity, low altitude, and architecture for winter. Still searing and glaring.
Layering is not just for icy blasts. Cellular blinds can only do so much, so the $20 yard sale screen and the bamboo screen that lived on the balcony at the old place, have all been put into service against the low beams.
To those of you dealing with the heavy, damp heat, my utter condolences.
For those of you further afield and getting too much rain, may I please have some?

Sending come clouds right now, enjoy!
Yes, Zhoen, really, seriously wish we could send some of this thumping rain your way.
how much you want?
Fire Bird,
Oh, there's plenty of room, send whatever you like. As long as it doesn't all fall at one moment, we can handle a few inches a day.
You're welcome to our surfeit of rain. Heavy, damp heat sounds uncomfortable, but I've been dealing with heavy, damp cold. Not much fun.
A Japanese screen with bamboo motiv is really all one needs!
Pete,
I'll take that, honestly. I remember as a kid when the temps and humidity were both at 100, didn't cool off at night, and the misery of trying to sleep with a fan that did nothing but whirrrrrrrr,rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr.
Rou,
It's not entirely stable, and shows some wear, but I like it.
Oh, and dealing with the itch of mosquito bites. I'll take cold damp anytime, as long as I have my wool blanket.

I think it would be fairly amusing if we just started punching people when they were grumpy. Surely it would cheer me up!
FG,
Then they call in the cops and the fun is all over, sadly. I wish we could do cartoon punches, POW! then they see stars and birds circling their heads...
