Heat and Aging

52°F, hazy, S 10 mph wind (it was 70° today! Warm!!!) It was definitely spring like today. Portland broke a record for warmth yesterday. We have swung wildly a lot this winter. As far as more climate science, here is another sign that a warming climate is not a good thing for humans. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr0616?utm_campaign=Science&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=ownedSocial&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3ZM682JdCx4fDKzs3PyOuYNBChFkBb3QRAu_iWRt67LucoU030R7aiAjQ_aem_OwbldrJgMhL_deNOK_KfbQ ButContinueContinue reading “Heat and Aging”

This was in the 2025 project plans. The plans the orange dictator claimed he had no idea about despite being named as a lead player.

A rain free day— yesterday

46°, Partly Cloudy, Light Wind Day off and I was feeling pretty good. I know I should stay home on days like this and work the homestead but I took my dog out for some spoiling fun walking instead at one of the local coastal parks. He deserved a day of spoiling. Meanwhile, a videoContinueContinue reading “A rain free day— yesterday”
