Isn’t it strange how each of us have very particular ideas on what is most important based on a whole variety of things? I don’t approve of the death penalty but I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it. If you asked me, I’d vote against it, but I’m not doing anything to oppose it. It’s just not high on my list. I feel more strongly about abortion, but it doesn’t immediately impact me either. Climate change is critical but I don’t see an easy way out. I don’t have a single issue.

We’ve had a weird summer. Relatively cooler temperatures, especially compared to the rest of the country, and unusually low humidity, which is straight up delightfully unexpected in this part of the world. Today is what we like to call “a bit close.” High humidity and no breeze. It’s going to make yard work a little sweaty.
