Backswing

When the temperature reaches 108F and it's going to be over 100F for the next five days, and there's been no rain for weeks, and humidity is in the teens... well, St. Louis, meet Palm Desert.  Which is pretty good weather for geezers with a/c, but it's hell on the hydrangeas.

Gets you thinking... what if it doesn't rain until September?  It means that all the water I bought, and will buy, over the last months and this summer will be for naught and we'll be losing trees, not just plants, and we'll be facing fires, not just the usual tornadoes and hailstorms.  It's so Biblical!

One sign that it could be the end of the world:  folks are giving away their tickets to the Cardinals games over the weekend...
