The weird weather we’ve had this summer is apparently not over yet. Late last week, a short heat wave blazed through, peaking on Friday with a high of 37o C. And while that may not seem like a big deal to those of y’all who live in places like Arizona, India, central Australia, and North Africa where such temperatures are not unusual in the summer, they’re highly unusual here on the Olympic peninsula, especially in a year when the rest of the summer was unusually cool. Luckily, the heat wave was so short-lived it wasn’t really much of a stress on the animals, who just hid out under the trees most of the day; of course, the piggies still wanted their cracked corn lunch, so I turned on the sprinkler for them to enjoy while eating. And since I know a lot of y’all are Cicero & Louie fans, here’s a short video for your enjoyment.
