Hey there Todd! I've noticed you are a fellow Oregonian! I wouldn't be surprised if we've walked passed each other at one point or another given how small Oregon's population is. Also how small and tight knit the Christian world is :). I hope you're faring well there in the PDX area! It's been quite a year there lol! Glad you're there to keep things sane.... WOE, I saw these headliners … I thought you would have gotten some relief by now … I guess the extreme heat is here to stay? All summer long? Are you restricted not to use the water to wash your cars or water your grass? It’s so hot that Canada’s sea creatures are cooking to death in their shells Oregon’s heat wave death toll reaches 107 in “mass casualty” event Amir Tsarfati in a recent update, July 2, was talking of the extreme heat in Iran and Iraq, Lebanon etc. with temperatures at 50 degrees C. (what's that in the States?). He said that they have basically shut off to the barest minimum the electricity, so no refrigeration of food, no AC and people are in very dire straights. The heat continues here in Oregon. Interesting facts the average for Portland is 11 days of 90-degree heat each year. Since 2000, the annual number jumped to 15 days. Since 2014, the average is 22 days. 50c = 122f WOW! Well we battened down the hatches and spend the day inside the camper as storm Elsa (5th storm in the Atlantic already and now we have Fred forming and heading toward Cape Verde) dropped a LOT of rain on her way up the coast yesterday. Today we are home and it is a cool 92 degrees, with lotsa pop up storms —- so earthquakes in the west, temperatures higher than normal in the west and Midwest, and then talk about the strange weather patterns across the globe — it’s beginning to feel a lot like rapture, everywhere we go :mdrmdr: We’ve had an awful lot of rain lately - 5 days worth … today the sky remains grey with a burst of sunshine for a few seconds. The only thing good about this weather … no need to water the outdoor plants … however, we are invaded with gazillions of slugs … I lost count how many I killed. Saturday and Sunday calls for sunshine but … Monday - Friday back to more rain rain rain. I’m kind of starting to feel what life on the Ark was like. Weather pattern up north certainly feels like the days of Noah :whistle: Lows seventies temperatures here in Vancouver again. So no heat problems. I don't think we've had rain for a month and yet it still feels humid. :wacko: Talk about the worst of both worlds.
