Mine will clearly not be as glorious as the previous pictures, but anyway.
I live in Shanghai, but in a nice and quiet suburb so I have some space , which is quite a luxury in such a crazy gigantic city.
Part of the great beauty of this country is its variety. IF it were up to me (and I’ll freely admit it’s probably a good thing it isn’t ), every college would have a course at least an elective and better a requirement that would be a 2-3 road trip around the country. Guaranteed to be an educational experience.
Yep. I made a different random post about it. It was 90+F here on Saturday, 100F in Denver (I live in the suburbs), and it’s going to be 90F again by the end of the week.
Wow, that’s a very, very hot summers day. We got to 29C and that was the hottest day of the year for us. We once got to 36C in London and had to close the curtains and lie down.
My office view for the day. Drizzle and cold (well, getting colder, it’s more than 20° cooler today than yesterday), and the wall of derecho debris remains… The second wall. The city’s already been through once. That’s the rest of it. We put the chairs out there during the clean up as a place to rest and rehydrate, and just never got around to taking them back to the porch.
I do wish I had my Burly up and running. I would have carved a few slabs from the trees we lost, and made some plaques. But I just couldn’t justify keeping big hunks of tree around for no real purpose. Especially when the wife is currently purging the house…
