Best guess is that my area is having electric problems now, although it could be a weak line too or a fried power surge protector strip but???we've got power in the circuit that's holding for the box fan even as we don't on the window Air conditioning unit... so tomorrow morning I think the best thing I can do is buy another surge protector, a few bags of ice, more ice-cream or frozen fruit bars, as combined that should get us through at least the remaining 2 days of 110°F-130°F or so heat index days.

“It’s a bit early to see days between 95 & 100 & 100-plus,” Hurley added. “The other dangerous aspect of this is the fact that it had been relatively cool across a lot of these areas in the East over the month of June & up to this point. So this will be a shock to the system.”
The NWS issued #heat advisories & #ExcessiveHeat warnings across much of the #Midwest, #Ohio Valley & #Eastern #UnitedStates.

After a long time we went out to a new spot! Café Más is a #Mexican #Vegan place just off of Lincoln Square in #Chicago. We got brewed #coffee and a mollete. The food was cheap, tasty, and filling. We realized (partially based on the decor) that it is owned by the same people as Penelope's Vegan Taquierra. We don't like that restaurant much but this little spot was great! We'll definately go again.

Last year at this time. Curious to see if #MountWashingtonObservatory breaks more heat records next week...
From 2024: The First #SevereHeat of the Year Sweeps Across the #Midwest and #Northeast
By Alexis George
Updated June 22, 2024
"New Englanders dragged fans and air conditioners out of their closets earlier this week as the first heat wave of the year gripped the Northeast. The hot and humid weather that arrived on Tuesday, June 18th, prompted officials to declare heat alerts as temperatures skyrocketed into the 90s across many locations. And the humidity only made it feel hotter, which caused the heat index to soar over 100 degrees in parts of the Northeast on Tuesday afternoon.
"We saw little relief from the hot temperatures on Wednesday as the heat wave continued. Temperatures across New England soared into the mid and upper 90s, with parts of the region posting higher temperatures than South Florida on Wednesday. #BostonMA set a record-high temperature of 98 degrees on Wednesday, which broke the previous record of 96 degrees. A new daily record high of 70 degrees was recorded at #MountWashingtonObservatory on Wednesday, which broke the previous record of 67 degrees that was originally recorded in 1995. The new record high temperature recorded at #MountWashington on Wednesday also fell a few degrees short of the highest temperature ever recorded in June and the all-time station high of 72 degrees. Here are some other records that were set on Wednesday:
- Millinocket, Maine, hit 97 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- Caribou, Maine, hit 96 degrees, matching its all-time high temperature. It also posted a heat index of 103, the highest on record.
- Bangor and Houlton in Maine tied calendar-day records of 95 degrees.
- Reading, Pennsylvania, tied a calendar-day record of 95 degrees.
- Syracuse, New York, tied a calendar-day record of 95 degrees.
- Poughkeepsie, New York, hit 94 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- Cleveland tied a calendar-day record of 92 degrees.
- Buffalo tied a calendar-day record of 90 degrees.
- Elkins, West Virginia, hit 90 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- DuBois, Pennsylvania, hit 80 degrees, a calendar-day record.
"The heat would not relent on Thursday, June 20th, as heat advisories and excessive heat watches remained in effect for parts of the Northeast. Temperatures were forecast to reach a scorching 99 degrees in #ConcordNH, and 95 degrees in Boston on Thursday. The excessive heat also caused some trains in the Northeast to operate at lower speeds on Thursday, as rail temperatures exceeded 135 degrees!
"Another daily record high temperature was recorded atop Mount Washington on June 20th, with the new daily record of 65 degrees breaking the previous record of 64 degrees, which was set in 2016 and equaled in 2020."
[...]
"The stubborn heat wave finally died down some by Friday, June 21st, as cooler air arrived behind the passing cold front. While this historic heat wave definitely made headlines in the Midwest and Northeast, on the flip side, a colder weather pattern dumped up to a foot of snow at some higher elevations in Montana and Idaho earlier this week, just days away from the summer solstice!"

The back garden and shed. Still a ways to go before it’s in full flower. Today’s heat will wake up those lazy plants! This is also our cat cemetery. All of our past kitties are buried here.

Latest run video is live! This was a really fun and interesting location.
If you've never heard of a "moraine," it's where glaciers melt and drop their debris. It makes for a bunch of undulating terrain, often with a crap ton of lakes.
Also, there's some trail runner carnage a little over halfway through, if you're the sadistic type.

Between the #Pride #Parade and #NoKings protest in #Indianapolis #Indiana, my soul feels so good. There were tens of thousands of people. There’s so much work to do but it gave me strength and #hope that we’ll get through this together.
#WTHR reported 60,000 people were at the Pride Parade alone.
Also proud of my protest sign: “No Kings Only Daddies.”
