Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 101-degrees right now and the mid-summer malaise has sunk in with a heavy atmosphere/ambiance environment. The air clings like dry sweat (if such a thing).
Seemingly, dry mouth is the DC mode right now as Democrats have played Republicans in Congress, which pissed them off mightily, and they have become even more cruel and nasty. And now shit will really get shitty.
Scrolling across the InterWebs this afternoon is depressing, from so many angles, and there’s not much that can be done to work out the kinks. Across our environment, from the government to our weather, shit is heating way up and there’s no bridge to cross a flooding river of events, rushing faster seemingly by the day.
In the quash of that impervious news cycle today, I spied this:
