Cottage Report -- July 18, 2020

Heatwaves continue around the world in July, proof positive that climate change will kill us all, as opposed to all the other things that will kill us.

In Cottage Country everything is beautiful.  We have really hot weather, and the cottage got 4 inches of rain while we were away.  The drought is over and all the trees won't die.

The fish are active.  I got lots of nibbles on my 10 minute dog-fishing trip.  Right now, a lot of fish are jumping off the point, and the neighbour is out fishing.  Maybe I'll get a 'magic fish'.

Yesterday we were drowning in tent caterpillar moths.  The fish will eat well, but next year might be one of those 'no leaves' years when the tenties go nuts and eat everything.

ps.  Sunday's storm had some strong wind gusts.  The cottage was sheltered but the wind lifted my paddleboat right off the dock, the neighbour had a main cable snap on his dock, and we see the famous lake slide floating in the middle of the lake.
