I was never sure why we switched to Climate Change except it doesn't sound as alarming. Sure some areas didn't heat up at first, but we're past that. Every place has & is heating up. The globe is warming. Radically.

She lives in New Braunfels... not too far south of Austin. I can see the pink shade headed down that way in a big block. Wonder if she regrets yet moving back there!

Who would have thought it was from Mexico????
I kept wondering where the fire was???
Yeah, it was hazy here too. I just assumed the haze was from the humidity.

A front came through this evening and blew it all away.
