The beach is a block from my house, so I spent the weekend dipping in the ocean.  Too hot to be anywhere but in the water.

Wish I could be next to the ocean. It's damn damn hot. I'm running to the malls. Damn crowded at Metrotown. Seems everyone's there.

I've got a river with some beach on it. Speaking of which doesn't sound like a bad idea next time I go down to farm.

  (Alright here's a little geography lesson: everytime any river stage is low (which means its nowhere near from flooding) it leaves sediment aka sand. This creates sand bars or a beach. I remember as a kid camping on these bars. They go forever and are quite fun. Also they are good for fishing off of but don't eat the fish because the river is polluted and the fish have super high amounts of mercury)

  There's also a real beach by a lake by my house. Could visit there also if I wanted to.

I thought you guys are in the midst of a storm or something like that, SD.

  At times like this, I really miss the beaches of Sydney. Really lovely beaches there. Clean, (did I mention clean?) water and hot sand. Awesome.

The storms were on wednesday. Pracitically destroyed the city in 30 mins. 100 mph wind gusts will do that. People at work are still angry. They all live in north saint louis and north county and none of them have power and won't for another 4 days apparently. Plus they don't have water either. They called in the guard but no one has seen anybody in a uniform. The Missouri National Guard is made up mostly of southerners from the lower part of the state. I think there scared to go into some of the north saint louis neighbourhoods.

welcome to the future.

  despite the occasional moderate year or  month or day......the trend is an increase in overall temp.

    yes,folks,it is getting hotter and the winter is shorter,spring is more intense with rain and storms and summer warmer and warmer.

  this is turn feeds into the climate cycle. polar regions melt,release more methane and in turn feeds the cycle.

less snow for snow packs = less water in the spring = droughts in the summer

destroyed crops

UV damage to crops

massive forest fores = more CO2 in the atmosphere

    we need to cool our urban centres with a massive tree planting campaign.

  the list is almost endless of the action needed.
