The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie Like a humane huntress, she (the anthropomorphized storm) brought a spate of cool Autumn like temperatures and gentle soothing rain here within my neck of the woods for the last couple of days. No matter the fall equinox and first day of autumn arrives countless weeks from now on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at 08:44 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time in the Northern Hemisphere synonymous with The Eastern Time Zone a time zone encompassing part or all of 23 states in the eastern part of the United States, parts of eastern Canada, and the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico the only Mexican state to observe EST. Said geographical area moved from Central Time to Eastern Time after a successful lobbying effort by tourism interests. In 2015, the state of Quintana Roo changed to a new time zone, Zona Sureste (Southeast Zone), and discontinued daylight saving time, being in UTC-05:00 all year. Quintana Roo does not observe daylight saving time. Though record breaking triple digit temperatures showed no mercy against the sheltering sky, (when humanity gets bowled over like ten pins not sparing anyone after fury of coming storm and indiscriminate havoc of mother nature poised to strike) unleashing brutally hazy, hot, and humid dog days gave weather weary woebegone wretched earthlings something to complain about and blame the Republicans no doubt, aforementioned swath of land experienced temporary respite and relief against relentless horrid umpteenth heat wave, which reprieve and blessing from the blustering, blistering, and blasting fiery solar blast furnace summoning gratitude regarding temporary prized lull heaven sent buzzfeeding, and nursing biosphere with good n plenti liquid precipitation offering sneak preview when at long last summer two thousand twenty four segues into September days awash with refreshing temperatures and bathing the terrestrial firmament with much welcoming rain. Soon empyrean découpage citadel will betoken (bespeak) autumnal arrival as chariot of fire emblazons telltale signature one humble human doth bid summer adieu. Already an imperceptible merest trace hints of crisp cool mornings and evenings ushering fresh air French kissed yours truly tongue in cheek refreshing air wafts thru longish hair trademark characteristic property aging pencil neck geek attends brief bathroom charge coffee exotic brew jolted kidneys leak urine not kidding water closet doth reek.

How grand when third season of two thousand and twenty four visits upon us mortals Montgomery county, Pennsylvania said geographic real estate sloughs (i.e. sheds) summer dog days necessitating unshuttered windows allowing, enabling and providing natural aeration to circulate thru unit B44 cozy one bedroom apartment. I will stave off clicking the central air conditioning unnecessarily, nor crank up british thermal units (the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water at maximum density through one degree Fahrenheit, equivalent to 1.055 × 103 joules) until bone chilling cold arrives, though hard to believe, yet invariably come Jack Frost will make his debut and like clockwork, yours truly will renege and surrender creature comfort, albeit climate controlled temptation similar when global warming quite evident predicated upon Farmers' Almanac prophetic prediction. Though ecology minded quick acclimation to unseasonable hot or cold temperatures will find me (a contrarian) eating his words adjusting thermostat dial by way of explanation to remove the chill no matter cranking up heat will invariably aggravate palmar hyperhidrosis whereas turning on air conditioning doth thwart excessive sweating of palms during sweltering triple digit Ah... remembrance of wood burning stove papa lit, to dispense chill pervading childhood home 324 Level Road christened "Glen Elm" within national (local registry) when Leiper family initially occupied estate at that time (think early twentieth century) merely intended as summer getaway.
