I'm still pretty much in the heat will eventually come camp, but I have to say there is something a bit different about this year. It would be really foolish to predict a cool August in light of that month's performance this century so far, however.
I love kitties!
My wife and I are firm believers in allowing them to be indoor / outdoor cats. They are so much happier that way.
We have had a couple of cats that are very good at catching moles which is obviously a gigantic bonus.
Right now it appears the Seattle area is making a run for a solidly below normal first half of June. We have had a lot of cold troughs the last few months.
Month to date is running 56.4 IMBY. Quite cool!
