13c here at 9am but clear sky and sun means it's going to warm up.Showers maybe,but at least I'll get time off from watering Les's plants.........did yo say you were having a "care" assessment today Ron ?
Has your hand healed Buff ?

Earthquake down in the south of the country, probably not much of one,but still !!!
 
12C Wet. The weather is no better over here either. I went in for my wrist and they mentioned carpal tunnel, made me up a splint, and then asked to go back in three weeks. Its just another aging disorder to add to the lengthening list. It feels like the days are standing still, it feels good to get away from the house and the biting flies and spend time in doctors officesis.
 
Yes Carol , had my meeting with my potential provider. Seems like people I can deal with. I invited another rep from myagedcare and she seemed to think it was a pretty good deal. I have another meeting with them next Monday when i will probably sign up. My car is still not going , I'm pretty sure that the problem is the fuel pump //fuel filter unit which sits in the top of the fuel tank under the back seat. I have a friend who is a mechanic , he is checking out cost and availability of parts. The unit is termed a lifetime part which means it was supposed to be replaced at 190,000 kilometers. Such is life Ron.
 
quickie before hospital visit.....17c ,breezy and grey.....Les's doc has been on the phone and it looks like a long job.They're trying a different med for a few weeks, and it could have been due to underlying heart complaint.But it is dementia so none of us know what the future holds.Scott is coming on Tuesday for a visit. and I will have a round the table meeting with Doc. and staff next week.
 
That is good of Scott to come home to give you some support. My mechanic friend rang back today the parts are unavailable for my car so I'm going to have to do a bit of searching. It is a 2011 model and it really sucks that parts are not available. I may have to send it to the wreckers. Not happy...Ron.
 
Two days of doctor visits, a good time for it as the weather was lousy anyways, now a short break from the rain and cold. 2011 is not all that old Ron, parts should be available. The entire tank will likely have to be replaced as one unit. Thinking of you and Les Carol, and sending some positivity towards Les, in hopes the healing can start.
 
Its the national holiday today, my nephew called yesterday with anticipation while stocking up at the liquor store, and fueling up his truck getting his family ready for the long weekend and the start of his holidays at the lake. Reminds me of how excited I was when the summer holidays came around back in my working days. Its wet here too, and does not feel very holiday like. But I will cook up a good supper today, I placed the rub on the ribs yesterday, and will pressure cook them and then grill them. 18C unsettled conditions.
 
Supper sounds good Buff. I am still eating very little. On the up side my blood sugars for morning and night are under baseline figures and have been for days. Very overcast today and expecting rain by tomorrow. Ron.
 
20C and the good weather is coming for a short visit. I'll sit outside and take it all in while it lasts. My thoughts are with you and Les Carol. Yes we had a few tornadoes, but nothing in our neck of the woods, its simply too cold and wet for them to develop.
 
The rain has arrived and it is very cold with it. It is a pain not having a car. I really have to get to the shops today and get some food. I woke up unwell at three in the morning. I didn't know what was up but I checked my blood sugars. They were down to 3.7. Anything under 4 is not good . I always keep some glucose jelly beans on hand so i ate a few and went back to bed. I was still at 4.2 when I got up. having a cup of soup at the moment, that should help. Ron. P.S. Hugs to Les.
 
13c but the sun's trying to burst forth. Feel better soon Ron.....I suppose there are worse things than feeling unwell, on your own and needing to go to the shops ,when the weather's crap, but it's pretty high up the list.....
 
Well things haven't gotten much better. I did not get to the shops. My care provider dropped in and signed me up to the care package ,it goes thru tomorrow. I have been throwing up nonstop since 6.00 pm and I don't really know why. That won't do much for my blood sugars. I don't think it is a vertigo attack at least I hope not. I took a stemetil but I don't think it was down long enough to do much good. If it was vertigo there would be no breaks between the vomiting attacks so I am not sure what is going on nor do I care much at this point in time, Ron.
 
16c with plenty sun but gusty wind.....went for a shop after seeing Les ready for Scott's arrival tomorrow night (our time).
I've got an appointment tomorrow afternoon with Doctor and other staff at the hospital....I'm absolutely dreading it.I don't know what they're going to say about him but it won't be good news that's for sure.
 
Thanks my friends,it's good to know someone's there for me.... The meeting went OK just a catch up getting to know the staff who are looking after him and meds and future hopes for improvement (which seem to be slim I might add) Scott's here which is great.We've never had time alone for more than 25yrs and he's good company and funny.....He was upset seeing Les as he is now but he knew what to expect..18c here and sunny and warming up towards the weekend which will please Scott as it was minus 2 and wet when he left Australia.
 
cold morning, but the rain has passed. I'm glad that Scott is there with you Carol. I am really over these aged care people . I don't have much in the way of savings and the woman yesterday was strongly suggesting that I should be using part of my savings every week to find a better unit. I told her off as the average weekly rent in Australia is nearly $700 .00 and I am only paying a third of that. Ron.
 
It was only 5C this morning, the nephew called yesterday bragging about the nice summer weather sitting on the dock with a cold drink. Glad to hear Scott is with you in this difficult time Carol. Ron you are doing well in your appartment. I am glad I still own my home, otherwise I would be paying my entire pension on rent, and then live off of my savings like burning a candle on both ends.
 
Cold and windy but clear. I finally was able to remove the fuel pump //filter unit from my fuel tank in the car. I am not very happy. The desrption of the car in the buying contract was false. They claimed it was a holden barina spark mj 1.2 l In fact it is a holden barina series tk 1.6 litre. The difference is that parts are available for the mj 1.2 but no longer available for the tk. I was also given mis information about the filter unit. It is described as a filter unit and a motor. I now find that the whole unit is a plunger pump and the so called motor is a solenoid which makes a lot more sense! You don't put electric motors inside a fuel tank. It certainly helps having some mechanical aptitude ,I have save a lot of money over the years. Ron.
 
That's really good news Ron....I don't have a clue what you're on about but you're happy and that's great.....How many young'ns would know all those technicalities ? Getting warm again and "SPECTACULAR" thunderstorms forecast we'll see......as long as I'm not waiting for the bus to the hospital...
 
Carol I am not sure what I am on about either. I talked to my mechanic mate and he advised me that although my theory was a good idea but in fact , wrong. So it is actually a motor. It scares me a bit installing a motor that runs under petrol. I was able to order the new part today after successfully dismantling the filter unit without damage. It has been very windy today and 9c expected in the morning. I'm already tired of taxi travel again and the cab charge card has not arrived yet. Ron.
 
18C and seemingly looks like it might be a nice day coming up. Ron don't worry about electricity or for that matter anything arking out in the atmosphere of a fuel tank which happens to be a very rich atmosphere of fuel that displaces the oxygen with in. Its the same thing with the fuel pumps systems in trucks like my own. When I was young I tried to no avail to blow up fuel tanks. I took the old leaky tank from my car and inserted wires in an attempt to spark it off, but never could no matter how hard I tried.
 
Another beautiful winters day, a cool 9c to start then up to a sunny 21c. Thanks Buff that is very reassuring to know. The new pump complete with a T-bag filter is only $129.00 and I've nearly spent that in a week on taxis. Ron.
 
A good start warm and sunny.watered,weeded,and dead-headed Les's plants....then just got off the bus for hospital visit and the heavens opened ....no jacket and no umbrella....and washing left on the line.Scott ,being an Aussie,was wearing shorts so at least his pants didn't get wet
 
Clear after some rain overnight. Power went out after a small afternoon thunderstorm giving the generator a good run. 17C. You did well for the price Ron, fuel pumps for many common brands cost several hundred dollars around here. That's a bummer Carol, I've learned a thing, if one wants rain, just hang out the wash on the line and wait, usually for not long. I guess one could always call it the final rinse.
 
cold and windy again. Carol ,fortunately clothes will dry and people are waterproof from birth. We need a lot more rain here, last weeks big rain event was a flop here on the coast and it barely wet the ground. Sooner I get it the better Buff ,I am well and truly over taxis again. Ron.
 
I am tired of giving blood, the mosquitos and deerflies are unrelenting this year. The weather people are saying we have a tornado potential this afternoon with a cold front merging with the humid air mass. It feels too cold for tornados to form. Probably more rain, more than we need. Wish it would go where its needed. Hope the new part works Ron, I hate the both the price and the smell of taxis.

Cool mornings and warm days. People in NSW are being warned to get ready for a very bad bushfire season. It is still winter but there was 65 bushfires reported burning in NSW yesterday. Ron.
 
With this buggy weather each time my skin feels tingling I fear that its another tick crawling on my body; everything that can suck blood is flying, crawling or already feeding from me like I was a petrol station at 0 cents per liter. Despite the weather warnings yesterday, nothing came up of it other than a little thunder and more cold rain. Its bright and sunny at the moment but the air has a chill to it. A good day for some yard work.
 
I hope my weather whinger mates are both ok and battling on regardless of life's little problems..All ok here.....warm and windy and the weather's much the same. Les still having problems ,bless him.Looks like it might be a long job....
 
We received a lot more rain in some areas than what was expected with just over 40mm the highest reading. I had my first cleaner in yesterday. She worked hard and did a very thorough job. I will have the cleaner in once a fortnight so that's one less thing for me to worry about. The car is going with the new pump . I still have some concerns about its reliability . I will renew the spark plugs over the weekend just as a bit more insurance. Ron.
 
17C Sunny. It looks like we are over the worst of the biting flies, while still a force they are not as intense. I will have to go and have maintenance done on my stoma, and do a fuel run as they are talking about fuel prices rising again. Good to hear things are going in the right direction Ron,
 
18c with a good breeze and lots of threatening rain clouds,same for the next few days......horrendous heat in Europe where tourists are really suffering. Very glad I'm here...Les has passed the 28day section and now goes to the next stage where the CAN keep him for 6mnths But if he improves he will be let home sooner.... IF !!!!
 
Same weather as Tony, but add in the biting flies. That's rough Carol, hopefully Les will make a good comeback once the covid passes. On a brigher note, I got a good price for fuel and now have enough to get me though the rest of the summer as we were warned of rising prices.
 
overcast once more but little or no rain expected. That is not good Carol . I have a friend who has a her father in an aged care facility. He has not been well for twelve months and now she has been told that her father and half the aged care patients in that facility have covid. We have seen several young people die from influenza recently. I have had three covid shots ,my flu shot and a shingles shot. So far I have not had any of those illnesses for three years. It is a pity I cannot get a shot to stop me falling . Ron.
 
Its cold, I had to light the furnace again last night, the cat was feeling ill and did her business on the mat by the door instead of the litter box. I stepped in it and didn't see it until I noticed the smell was quickly becoming unbearable. By then I had smeared it all over the basement floor between the furnace and indoor wood pile. One more mess to clean up I didn't need. Its not much of a summer this year, and now wonder if we will see any kind of summer warmth. Seems like we are going right from spring into fall.
 
20c sunny and very blustery.....I had to fight my way to the bus stop to visit Les.......it was a good visit.I took a covid test this morning just in case I was the culprit,and the result was clear.There's another guy come down with covid on the unit.....trying not to worry,but Les is definately not at his best mentally or physically...ain't life a bitch ?
 
A bit of rain on the way for the next few days and cool temps . I don't know what cleaners the lass used in the flat last week but they have left me in quite a bit of raspatory distress. I haven't wanted to use my ventolin because it always puts my sugars way out of wack. Ron.
 
Nevermind what I said about the biting flies improving...not they are worse than ever in the cold wet weather. Its back to making fires each evening, and I am thinking of storing the airconditioner away for the winter. I'll give it another week, but my thoughts are turning towards fall, and getting some heavy work done in case my health starts going against me. The stricture has been painful of late. 9C wet and gray.
 
I think it's sensible to get sorted if you feel up to it that is.......there's nothing better than feeling all done and dusted, Of course,there's always the dreaded "something else" isn't there ?

warm and windy again and I'm looking forward to getting the winter woolies out of moth balls, but it's only mid July so there's a way to go...Love the dark cosy evenings.....Les is OK (ish) but the covid has set his next stage of trying to sort him out, back a week or two......55c in Death Valley today
 
With El Nino well entrenched in the Pacific ,I have real concerns about how hot it will get this summer and how bad the fires will be. 30-35c are normal for summer here but it is the heatwaves of a few weeks of 40c and above that are the killers. Quite a few people have migrated to western towns in the past few years for cheaper houses and rent but they are mostly retires and the western heat can be a real killer. Raining today. Ron.
 
There's no heat anywhere in Canada right now, Manitoba is usually cooking at this time of year, but they lost the heat back in the start of the month. The days are growing shorter, any chance of extended warmth is fading by the day. 12 C soggy and gray, when we should be in the mid to upper 20's. Its good to hear that Les is feeling some improvement. I am feeling somewhat better today, and wonder if it was some sausage casing that was hard to peel that gave me some grief over the past few days. I used them up, if things improve I will not buy another sausage or anything with casing again.
 
I'm glad you are feeling a bit better Buff. I often have a senior moment when I forget why I don't eat some particular food or do some particular activity. Then I remember what it was and beat myself up for not remembering. I am not very good at the moment. My back is dreadful both from the fall and also from trying to lift anything heavy. My lower back is shot and I have bulging discs an offset vertebrae and fusions on my lower vertebrae. The fall down the stairs did me some serious damage. The lower back fusions are cartilage growth not bone growth and when I fall they tend to break up and I have to wait for then to fuse again.' My car is still playing up and there are some signs of water in the crankcase. I felt that trying to fix it was like a dog chasing its tail . So I bought another car today . It is a 2005 hyundai elantra 2 l. and although it is old it only has 55 thousand miles on the clock and has been serviced every six months by an older guy. It is automatic so it will take the stress off my legs. It was not expensive and the way I have been feeling lately running out of money may be the least of my worries. Warm days and cool nights. Ron.
 
I'm glad you got some new wheels Ron.Both you and Buff need them given your locations.Most of the places we need are easy access via ,bus,taxi and lower limbs (for now).I'm really glad we got rid of the car given Les' present problems,and Scott dumped the bikes for somebody to help themselves to.The last thing I need to worry about is Les taking off for a run out...The weather here has been changeable the last few days......cooler and lots of heavy rain and scattered showers,,Europe is baking like parts of the USA and it's forecast for another 10 days.Some people are cancelling expensive holidays.
 
Yes carol we certainly are at the age of uncertainty. You with Les and his problems ,Buff with the not knowing what tomorrow will bring with health and weather and I am certainly sick of living with non stop pain ,poor health falls and all the other crap that goes with bodies and possessions wearing out. Then there is the weather. We are mid winter and it was 25c today. At least this car has aircon like a freezer. Ron.
 
With age and uncertainty comes a decline in confidence. I wanted to back out from visiting family, but I finally made the push to book flight tickets. I start thinking about all the things that can go wrong, with constipation well up there on the list. I can always cancel if my health fails me. The long days on visiting take their toll on me. Ron a good car is one that has been serviced regularly. With regular servicing a car will go on for decades, its a small cost that is far cheaper than replacement. Carol hang in there, good that you have Scott with you. 15C gray and soggy.
 
When to see the therapist but she called in sick. Nobody bothered to call me to cancel the appointment. It was not a total loss as I had to resupply anyways. The stores were busy, it felt more like a Friday than a Wednesday. 15 clearing, we are supposed to get a break from the cold wet conditions.
 
Another cool morning with a warm day to follow. Fine at the moment but we are expecting 50mm on Tuesday. My pain levels are still very high and little or no chance of any relief. Ron.
 
Its warmer today, the house didn't chill out overnight. I stepped outside and its the first warm day in how many weeks. I'll take advantage of it while it lasts. My arthritis has been bad of late, its been the kind of pain that makes it hard to turn the key in the ignition. The warmer weather should help after weeks of the clammy cold. 20C sunny.
 
14c and miserably wet will I get a taxi to visit Les (£7) or walk 10mins to the bus and go for free with my pass ? We'll see,there's an hour to go....Hopefully he has tested clear for Covid and is out of isolation.
 
I hope he is covid free mate. I'm sure if you can remove a few of the extra problems that he is facing perhaps his body and mind will be better able to deal with the dementia. I hope so anyway. Are you holding up ok ? I realize there is nothing much we can do to help you but at least you should know that we care about you. Hugs Ron.
 
I have been able to link my heart issues that make me feel like the heart is either about to blow or stroke, to the pantoprazol proton pump inhibitors. I am going off of them after taking them for over two months. Seems like nearly all medications go against me after some time taking them. We live in a society where they overprescribe. Ron, once I switched to driving an automatic I never looked back. Hang in there Carol, at some point things will improve, getting through the covid is good start. 22C some summer for a change.
 
cool and dry, no rain yet and they have downgraded the forecast for next week. I'm the other way Buff my pulse never gets over 65 and my blood pressure is constantly around 118/90. For the most part there are few meds that have caused me any problems. Steroids are one that nearly kill me . My nephrologist thought that cyclosporin would cause me some dramas but I was on them for 9 years without any noticeable side effects. My doc took me off them because despite side effects he said they had to be causing problems. We are all different ,Ron .
 
Still chuckin' it down and 14c here. The rain hasn't stopped here for almost 48hrs.Les still in isolation..It's horrible where he is.just like you would imagine solitary is after you've punched a warden,,,,,he has no stimulation and wanders the corridors all day.Hopefully he'll be back in the other ward tomorrow...I got the bus yesterday despite the rain,but got on the wrong bus home and ended up lost ,and had to get a taxi home anyway,,,,,good job I've got a sense of humour.......Deffo. a taxi both ways today....I've not missed a visit for 6 weeks but Les forgets I've been as soon as I've gone....he's always relieved and happy to see me tho'.
 
It is a great pity you have to live for so long just to have to learn to live a new way. Getting old really sucks. They gave me a taxi charge card last week. just tap it on the taxi fare reader and it is taken out of my aged care account. Ron.
 
Yesterday the summer weather came to an abrupt end with a thunderstorm that dropped bombs. I hate those kinds of thunderstorms when all is quiet and then kaboom every few minutes like a war. No wind, light rains but big lightning strikes. The never ending chill is back in the air. Life is a struggle, and worse as we age. Whatever happened to golden retirement, for there is no such thing.
 
Hope you're both OK.....Les is out of isolation,thankfully and now his rehab is starting.. He's being taken for a short walk outdoors tomorrow with a couple of minders. I must say he seems much better than a couple of weeks ago,although def. not back to his usual self and is still confused at times ,but aren't we all.......Must tell you this...went for a shop with Scott and picked up some loo roll..When I unpacked I saw it was Raspberry and Rhubarb !!! (flavour or what ?) and WHY ???
 
That is excellent Carol. I'm almost afraid to ask, did it taste like Raspberry and Rhubarb. It looks like I may be in trouble again. When I fell down the stairs I damaged one of my toes. After several weeks it is very painful and is weeping a clear fluid. I fear I may have developed osteomyelitis . I remember when I was young our neighbors son was mowing the yard and he thought it was a stone that hit his leg. It wasn't , it was a piece of wire and it went into the bone. the nick on his leg healed so he did not worry about it. Six months later they removed his leg but he was too sick and died. I am seeing my skin ca doctor today. I thought it may have been a skin cancer but now I am almost certain it is a bone infection. If so i will have to go on intravenous anti-biotics for a while then several courses of tablets.Ron
 
Glad to hear about Les making improvements, but I am not so sure about that loo roll Carol. I have had a couple rough days after lifting the canoe. It was a short trip on the lake before pain sent me back into shore. My stricture has been painful ever since, the pain comes and goes, but I have no urge to vomit and the appetite is still there.. I am going to call the gastro as I am still waiting for a follow up appt from my upper scope in June. The medical system moves like molasses in the freezer. I stubbed my toe in the basement the other day, it is healing, but its a bad spot given the dirt it gets as we walk.
 
Not good news for you guys eh? I would talk about the tribulations of growing old but we've done that more than once,so just feel better soon both of you,,,,please, or I'll be talking to myself on here......re: loo roll...It just goes to show what a sad and boring time I'M having, I'm getting quite excited to start the new purchase so watch this space...
 
21c and sunny....Scott's gone to sunny Scotland for the weekend lucky b*gger....Scotland was much travelled and loved by Les and me and the dogs back in the day. All our secret places are now rammed so we had the best of it,,No going back that's a cert.
 
I went for two days without landline or internet after the thunderstorm went through Wednesday night. I called the Gi doc and was told that the follow up appt for the upper GI scope I had in June won't be until after Christmas. I was instructed to go to the ER if anything serious comes up. Our public medical system is basically gridlock. My toe is healing on its own. The toe is so smashed up the tip of the toe is like a cap on a hinge. It is healing and not oozing at this point. I cannot lift much after the canoe incident, or the pain rises in my abdomen on the right side. I am keeping an eye on it and do not rule out going to the ER in the coming days if there is no improvement.
Its the same here too, all the changes and none for the better.
 
Hang in there Buff, it sounds a lot like Australia. If you have a few years on the clock it seems that your survival is basically in your own hands. Not good. Ron.
 
Bad constipation this morning. The medical system is a failure when the doctor says to go to the ER if things get worse. The whole idea of having a doctor is to get the needed procedures done to prevent an emergency that requires going to the ER. Life is flying solo, if I were to drop dead outside of the house, by the time anybody would have noticed I would be down to bones and a few maggots.
 
Me too Buff ! Sorry you're not well my friend .I think C. is worse than D. so I hope it's passed for you now (excuse the pun)
warm and windy over here and the weathers much the same...sorry,you know I can't help myself
 
I agree Buff and Carol ,D was an inconvenience but C was scary. Some of my worst times was when I was suffering opiate induced constipation. I would not take opiates again even if my life depended on it. Cool morning but rising to 27c during the day. Ron.
 
I have to agree, to put some humor into the subject, D is a ride on a rocket and can feel great in the moment, C is misery like a cement truck parked overnight with a full load. Cold and wet, the biting flies should be waning but not this year. I'll be glad to get the cold summer over with, simply to rid the biting flies.
 
Rain, that is all it has done this summer. I had to spray down the inside of my outhouse the mosquitos are so active and thick. Ron, Cleaning services are great, but why can they not do the same for senior's pensions and the healthcare system. It would not take much if governments would just get their priorities straight.
 
My family doc is easily with in reach in a similar time frame as yours Ron, but the GI has me over 6 months out for a follow up from my upper endoscopy. Just told to go to the ER if anything serious comes up, otherwise told to fly on autopilot. A good day coming up, the first summer day in over two weeks, but they say it may not hold for the entire day. I would not be surprised if temperatures crash later on in the afternoon like it did when the last time that 'little cloud' took over the skies mid afternoon on our one nice day event. I plan to do nothing, and enjoy some time out on the deck while it lasts.
 
It was the warmest June on record and has been the wettest July on record and the rain has crept into August.There's supposed to be a heatwave on the way but we know where they can shove that...Les is doing OK and is a lot better than the rest of the guys on the ward.Luckily all the ward rooms are seperate and en suite or there would be trouble.It can be scarey
sometimes and Les is very protective of me.The staff are very good though.
 
Buff good luck with your toe ,the GI and the weather. Carol I am glad Les is a bit better and I hope it stays cool for you. I saw my doctor ,he was not impressed with the fall. He received the xrays of my toe . It appears it was a compound fracture so I am lucky i escaped a bone infection. I use T tree oil as an antiseptic and he said it is very effective. Rain today. Ron.
 
I am glad to hear that Les is doing better, and hope that you can get some better weather and he can come home. Day two of the good weather here, and will take advantage of it while it lasts. My toe is doing better, but its a slow heal and I have to be aware of how I walk not to bump it. I got a call from the GI an hour ago and we had the long talk. The medical system is so backed up that they have not yet received the biopsies from the upper endoscopy in June. The surgeon was supposed to call me, but it appears I fell off of their radar, so now I have the phone number, left a message and waiting for a call back. With our healthcare post covid, the best advice is not to get sick.
 
That is pure negligence Buff. I am tired of all the excuses that the medical professionals make for not doing there jobs properly. There is an old saying ,"healer ,heal thyself " For a supposedly highly intelligent group of people they do nothing to fix the problems in their own industry , they just whinge. Ron. Cool and overcast again.
 
The surgeon's office called back promptly, I got the feeling they were trying to be compasionate and scheduled an appt next week. So after all this, I still don't know for sure if there might be cancer. I was under the impression that no news is good news not knowing that the healthcare system is all backed up like a stopped up toilet including biopsies. I get the feeling this is how the medical system culls the senior population, just let us rot and die so we will not be a burden on the system. Yesterday I got the urge and moved and stacked my first load of wood, with many more to go. The angle of the summer sun tells me its time to start this long task. Not bad today, 22C with sunshine and warming up.
 
13c and very very wet, but I think we're better here than the south and west

so after winning the game I decided to throw the ball into the crowd like they do on TV
but apparently it's unacceptable in bowling.....
 
I'll give this summer a 3 out of 10 before tossing it into the dumpster. Cold wet, and buggy. I believe the world is heading into an ice age more so than warming up as I remember summers that were hot and steady in my working years with constant wildfire bans. Its been the opposite for a long time now with washouts, unripened crops and pestilence being the norm. The furnace runs more than the airconditioner, I recall the summers of past when I would turn on the airconditioner in June, and it would run non stop until the end of August. The lakes would be warm as soup, now they are like a fridge by comparison along with unrelenting cold damp north east winds. The heatwave prone areas continue to bake as they have always; I believe there is a lot of crying wolf when it comes to the climate. We should be more worried about world conflict and political instability, instead of taxing home heating to the point its become unaffordable for so many.
