it's not the heat

Today it went from living in a nostril to living in a middle school indoor swimming pool. If ya know what I mean.

Humidity has this weird spurt of vengeance at the end of summer. Here it's taunting us with barely detectable raindrops. Down further south, hurricanes. Other parts of the world, badly timed droughts and monsoons that ruin millions of acres of crops and endanger billions of lives. And Arctic ice retreating to its lowest levels in thousands of years, prompting commercial use of the Northeast Passage for the first time in ever.

May we live in interesting times, indeed.

All in all I'm doing fine. We're doing fine. Which, in the end, says very little about us at all.
