<<Been a real sizzler up here too... If I don't have the canoe out on the river by 6, it isn't worth going... I'd be baking by 9.>>

Even in more normal weather I leave at 1st light and get on the water around 6. By 10 I'm on the road home. Someone else can have my share of sunburn.

<<Amazing lightning lately though. >>

We had a storm a week ago like I've never seen. It hit at 3:15 am and for the next 1/2 hour it was like daylight in the house. The lightning was so constant it never got dark. The horses relocated from the pasture to the barn on their own.

The clouds lit inside like giant fireballs is something we get here every summer. They are so beautiful. They're especially pretty at sunset, if there's enough of a break in the clouds to light them up with sunset colors before the lightning fills them with fire. They're also really pretty even if there aren't sunset colors, and the clouds are just dark grey. We get really wild lightning storms, sometimes there's lightning hitting in so many places it reminds me of air raids, with the ground forces shooting back. If that happens at night, the sky turns violet, bright enough to read a newspaper outside at night.
