Yes hot. Summer in SE AZ started off easy then took it all back. Six weeks or more of temperatures 110⁰ or higher every day. At the beginning of September we’re still hitting 100+ each afternoon and the monsoons have yet to arrive. Since last writing, I’ve spent most of my time working the days away and steeling myself for two-mile furnace-walks each evening. Only in the past couple of weeks have I finally motivated sufficiently to do much else.

May was a visit to Texas. June was a wedding of old friends in Bend, Oregon. July was extreme. August was straight brutal. And now, thankfully, I’m blessed to be spending a couple weeks in Olympia, Washington for work. 65⁰ never felt so good. I guess the only interesting thing of note is that after years of not, I’ve been making a little art again. Doing some drawings both pen and digital. Making a few stickers and a bunch of shirts along with rough plans for selling in the near future. Rough plans also for long hours outside again and a few weeks of floundering Portuguese.
