Heat Wave

Hit 80 yesterday. What a change. Have been in shorts since I got here. The weatherman is predicting a cold front by tomorrow with temps expected to drop into the upper 40's. Oh no, what will we do? Bring the dogs and plants inside? Bundle up in our coats and sweaters? Or maybe just continue with the shorts for a few more days.

By the way, an article in the Huston Chronicle today discussed the global warming crisis. Looks like it might be more myth than crisis. I guess its one of those things that only time will tell.

While I am enjoying my stay down south I still find myself checking on the weather back in Alaska. I will not say I miss 40 below but there is something about the cold that makes the mundane exciting. I find there is a sort of still beauty that exists in the extreme cold, especially on clear moonlit nights. I will be more didligent in trying to capture this on film when I go back.
