Portland and Seattle setting heat records on Monday by 17 fucking degrees is pretty damn worrying. I hope Kory is doing okay.

A place in the BC interior recorded the highest temperature ever in Canada. We're in the phase of summer where I'm looking longingly at winter again.

What's weird is that it has barely hit 70 here in the last two weeks. It's foggy and 60 or so until 12pm, then warms up to about 68-70, fog rolls back in around 6pm.

We get heat here no doubt and are usually warmer than Portland/Seattle, so it's pretty weird how they are 40 degrees hotter than us.

That's one of the scarier aspects of climate change. It's not just things getting hotter, but unpredictability and wilder swings.

Being born and raised here, anything above 65 is basically summer to me. So this hasn't been pleasant but it seems to be breaking down to a cute, harmless 80–90 degrees.


It sucks.

I was just out before the oncoming storm, bagging a few of the fruits in my pawpaw trees with window screen material and zip ties to hopefully keep the squirrels away. They cleaned out the 7 fruits that had set on the tree nearest my house, 3 months before they’d even be ripe, the bastards. Anyway, in the distance I hear what must be thunder. But damn, it’s not like any thunder I’ve ever heard. Sustained, and for like 20 minutes so far. It seriously sounds like a fire at a fireworks factory a few miles away, just one explosion after another, nonstop. (There is no fireworks factory anywhere near here.) I seriously had to come in and check the news to see if there was some kind of disaster in progress.

Update: A little thunderstorm just rolled through so I guess it was just thunder after all. Definitely some strange weather phenomena going on these days though. With the last month and a half of 4th of July celebrations, it really sounded like an extended fireworks mishap.

I fucking hate squirrels. They have always done that to my cherries and then they went after the blueberries. Sometimes the apples and then last year the tomatoes and raspberries. The line was crossed and I went on the offensive. Another neighbor has a nice big pear tree and they ruin those too like with a lot of fruits and vegetables they will take a few bites and leave them to rot destroying the whole crop.

Also my whole neighborhood has many little oak trees popping out in each of their yards from them burying acorns.

Yeah I’ve come to pretty much despise them. First year for fruit on the one tree, in two clusters. They took the first cluster so I wrapped the other cluster in bird netting. They got those too. So I went with stiffer window screen mesh to wrap the fruit on the other trees. Saw a video on youtube of some guy in Australia wrapping his mangoes that way. Hope this works. I’d start live-trapping them again, but there are just too many of the little pricks to make a dent in the population. Ol' Farmer Kimmelweck's gettin' pissed off.

I don't know if either you or Rev have tried this, it's working for me so far (fingers crossed).
Went to Home Depot. got a piece of sheet metal (aluminum) and put a band about 3' tall around my plum & apple trees trunks to keep rats and squirrels from climbing the trees and eating the fruit.
F'ing rats seem to love our cherry tomatoes, so I'm just picking them as soon as they begin to turn red and letting them finish ripening in the house.

Yeah that wouldnt work for me too many trees. They can go from yard to yard without ever setting foot on the ground.

I think the squirrels are jumping from my fence right into the trees. Maybe I'll invent "squirrelpaper", like flypaper but bigger and stickier, and hang it in the trees.

Not unless my feet were held to the fire! Literally.
