It is unbelievable the numbers for heat in the other parts of this country. I listen to the news and shutter, how can it be that hot and it's not even summer. We seem to say this every year and it just keeps going.
And then there is the drought that has gripped the Western States going on 5 years now with no relief in sight. My brother lives outside Durango, Colorado and after speaking to him last night, they are in bad shape. This is supposed to be the season where they get the runoffs from winter snows, yet it didn't happen and the drought is much worse. It will affect many of the major cities out west.
Is there a long term solution?

Sorry to hear about Pete, Lenn. But I have to admit, it made me chuckle.

BrownE: I think our enemies try to "test our patience" at the start of every Presidential administration... at least it seems that way.
They have a great advantage inasmuch as they know we elect our leaders on a regular schedule.
As a result, they can "load up" and make extensive plans during election years so they're ready to make trouble when new guys come into office.

It's interesting how different our little slice of the nation is compared to the nation as a whole

Woody,
I am curious, if the mainstream media is "hiding all these stories" how did you learn about them?
Also, I am curious to think with the US being one of the world leaders in Covid cases, why you believe that immigrants from countries with lower Covid rates are "spreading Covid all over the country"?
Finally this statement raised a couple of questions
How did you learn that the media was the "enemy of the truth"?
Why is the media "the enemy of the truth"? and how did you learn this?
Finally, what is this "narrative" you speak of? Where did you learn about this "narrative"?
Edit to add: Woody, I tried to verify your poll claims, this is the best I could find

We ARE Cruisers. maybe 25+ by now. Since my darling wife retired we do 2,3 maybe 4 a year and this Covis is killing us. I ain't getting any younger. If you EVER want any info on cruising, ports, ships, cruise lines, just let me know, whether on here, thru a PM, or email me.
As far as Alaska is concerned, we've done it 3 times already, we really love that area. And you had better hurry up. Many of the glaciers are melting at an alarming rate.

Unless you are brave enough to try and get a Russian visa, the best way to get there is via a cruise, which usually stops there for 2 days and nights. That's the way we saw it and God willing, and if this darn Covid lets up, we are scheduled to go back summer of 2022.
Just a magnificent city.
