the temperature is still too damn high
today was a beautiful day. a perfect summer day. the first day in what feels like weeks where i wasn’t drenched in sweat by the time i walked from my door to the car. if only the whole summer could be like this.
below is a screenshot of WU from last tuesday afternoon, which was the hottest and most humid day in minneapolis history (119F heat index, 82F dew point). also on this day: moorhead, minnesota was the ‘hottest’ place on earth (with a crop-enhanced heat index of ~134F). fantastic. as i understand it, the right coast is now suffering through this same heat wave.
we had something like 4 straight days of heat indices approaching 110F and legitimately-tropical dew points. naturally, i had 3 soccer games over these same 4 days. i hope to never repeat that experience, it was miserable. i really, really like soccer, but not that much.
on a more positive note, my ‘garden’ is growing really well now. staked the tomatoes today, and have been drying large amounts of thyme and oregano already. also have been enjoying mojitos in this ridiculous heat since my mint has really taken off. hooray summer!
