a crippling heat has settled over the area; it's only 90 (feels-like of 103) but it's too much for me and i'm trying to stay indoors and avoid it. i have a lot of outdoor work to do but just don't really feel like going out in it.
worst of all, it's so dry that the corn i can see is drying and browning out in the fields. i don't know if this makes it inedible or what. it just seems terrible. with florida getting all this water, and burning man flooding, here the corn is shriveling up and cooking out in the fields.
but it will only last a day or two, then back to cooler fall temps, and a steady moderation that fortunately we can count on at least up to now. a friend asks why we are not the world leader in oil production anymore and i feel like saying, 'don't look at it as the hottest year in the last hundred, look at it as the coolest year in the next hundred.' but i don't argue politics with people. being an oil producer is important to him, and he probably gets support from his friends for his complaint. such people are steadily aggrieved at the nature of the modern world, and not ready to go electric.
we're going to get solar panels on our roof; soon we will be buying solar power from the people who put them there. i'm a little apprehensive about how this is all going to come about but apparently it's free; the installation is covered by a state program and the power, once generated, is cheaper than that provided by the local utility. my brother, something of a solar, clean-energy expert, is a little dubious. You're going to buy power from these people who you've let occupy your roof? he thinks we should own them outright. but we have no patience for taking care of them, and don't know how to install them, and therefore are grateful that someone is just going to take care of it and lower our bills. it will all be done as a general process of going solar and going clean, that needs to be taking over the land.
if solar panels will keep even a little bit of that sun off our roof, and give us energy to cool or heat the place, i'll consider us lucky.
