HOT SHIT
I know that no one cares about this but I continue, nonetheless.
There is a lot of talk about the weather here. But that happens everywhere.
What I do not think happens everywhere is that people here have climate theories which they expound using cherry picked data from their own minds.
For example. We are being told by friends that it has been hotter than usual when, if you check the data here you will see that nothing could be further from the case. We have actually been cooler.
Not by much but still.
Now, we are heading, as we do every single year (go back to the chart), into a hot weekend where they are forecasting temps as high as 112 which are over the average but for the first time this month. In fact, our lows have often been close to record lows in June 2013.
This latter phenomenon has made it great to open the house in the morning. Today, for the first time, I awoke to temps over the AC temps in the house and gave a second thought to it wondering if I should open but we needed the fresh air.
I might add that no one we know here in this complex opens their houses at all after the middle of May. It is AC 24/7. We open everything for as long as we can. It isn't to save energy although that is a nice thing but to have freshness. A view. Hear the birds. Smell something other than our own odors.
Well, back to the talk about weather.
A lot of it is pure self pity on the part of people who chose to live here in the first place. Keerist. It is the desert.
The rest of it is the need to catastrophize about things.
I don't imagine it has anything to do with their ideas of global warming although maybe it does. They are brainwashed.
They forget that it is climate change we are talking about and that means that some places, maybe us, are going to be cooler or wetter or whatever.
Mostly it means that there will be much more widely felt gyrations in weather conditions. Tornadoes, hurricanes and the like being more potent.
OK.
A dead horse. I will quit beating it.
