Tuesday, 5/25

 I could actually live with a schedule like that.

We've had weird & wacky weather recently—86 on Saturday, 41 on Sunday, & 64 yesterday. Now it's supposed to be 80 today, 44 tomorrow, and 65 Thursday. I know it's just a coincidence, but there is a pattern developing—one really hot day, one really cold day, and one normal day. The more I think about that, the more I come to a conclusion--

That might not be a bad way to spend a summer.

I mean, think about it. If we could guarantee that pattern—one hot day, one cold day, and one normal day—throughout the summer, that would kill several birds with one stone. If you're someone who craves heat, like me, you'd know which days you could take off from work and enjoy it. If you're someone who gets overwhelmed by the heat, you'd know that the next day you could cool things down. And then for everyone else there would be a normal summer day.

It's almost like it would be a win-win-win.

Now, obviously, I realize that would never happen. I realize the pattern we're in is just an anomaly. I also realize that if our weather ended up repeating the same pattern over and over that 1). we've really screwed our climate up, or b). someone's developed a weather control machine and just forgot to tell the rest of us.

Either way, that wouldn't be good.

We'll have to see how things go. If the pattern holds the weather should be very hot, but looking at the forecast it's, uhm, not. But there are still a few days to go. Who knows? Maybe Mother Nature likes falling into a routine. After what we've been through the past 15 months, nothing at all would surprise me.

Nothing at all.
