Yes, the August heat is really hard but it hasn't been quite as bad as it is sometimes nor as good as it is sometimes this year. We have seen some very hot and humid Augusts and some hot and dry and some that were blessed with the cooling effect of tropical storms or hurricanes. We are expecting to have one come this way maybe the first part of the week. Thanks for the time you spent commenting at my poem. I appreciate your presence there. Sara

We stumble from one crisis to another. Climate change is happening far quicker than anyone thought possible. It's a disaster...Delice

Hello Lasaad Possibly alluding to all the wildfires around the world, as several big ones rage across the continents, warping and disfiguring the night sky, excellent imagery, cheers David

Your comment is much appreciated, David; as you can see, the earth faces catastrophic fire damage on all sides. The data is consistent, and it's strongly believed that global warming is the primary cause of this current crisis—deepest regards.
