We are living in a stagnant July heat wave. The lake has been still as a millpond all day. All the ocean plumes are stuck. This is the wonderful summer I predicted, but it will be short. The water is cool now, and the nights are cool as well. This is the most perfect weather for the cottage that I have seen for a long time.
When we had that warm spell sometimes it was so hot that the water was a bathtub, and you lay in sweat all night. Not now.
Here are the rocks at sunset. They glow red. I can take the drone up now and not crash it. It might last until my trip to the Seychelles. Yeah!
The bugs are at a reasonable level. I can put up the shade tent on the dock, and I zap the horseflies with my super-heavy 7000 volt zapper. They shrug it off, but it must give them a headache, since they fly away for a while.

Figuring out the drone
Sometimes it's sad to be an old man with the reflexes of a slug. This is especially true with a drone.
I realized that you can't use automatics when taking off from a high deck. I've had many crashes but into the nice bush. I can't use 4k when uploading in photos. Here's a nice run where I landed it right. Neato.
Whoops you have to download first. blah. Wait a minute.

How to make shit up
Reference
In future years, when we are freezing, we can warm up by the fire, reading how the warmies kept things going 3 years after the turn. You can admire thier wonderful plot that stops at the peak of the 2017 El Nino. It will be amazing how they focussed on melting events that happened 3 years ago. How the town's prosperity depends on keeping the concept of 'seeing the last Arctic ice'.
These people can't imagine going back to the 1970's so they just ignore it. Don't visit in the winter.
