Def a developing drought for most of us in SNE and CNE..not a drop 

My pond went totally dry this AM.   It's happened a couple times in the past.  During the big drought of 2015 I believe it went dry at the end of July.  Dryness very evident up here.

Loved Seger.

that was his breakout hit.

Against the wind was my anthem in my early 40s.

Remember when we wished we were older? lol If only we could go backwards now

It would be great to be young with the knowledge acquired with 7+ decades of living.  Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way...

Likewise.  Local river dropping steadily, now at 134 cfs.  25th percentile ins 196, record low flow 92.  Might be close to that by early next week.

City has requested that people refrain from outdoor water use but no ban yet. I expect that will be coming in the next week or so. Lawn is pretty much toast at this point.

Saw him at the old Boston Garden in 1986.  Played for 3 hours!

His pre-hit early 70's stuff rocks as hard as anybody in the business.

Always thought that Seger was much more of the "blue collar" rocker than Springsteen, though I like him too.  Somewhat strangely, my favorite Seger song is from later in his career.

Love Seger. Against the Wind is one of my favorites but I think Turn the Page has the edge for me personally. 

Just had a birthday last week. I'm young, but I think I'm blessed with a little perspective. I recognize how precious time is, and that when you think you have things all figured out life tends to have other plans.

Despite moving back here from the bustle of DC, life's moving at a pace I've never experienced. This is the fastest year I've ever lived. Must be the stress of the job and trying to (finally) settle down. 

There's hope?

Anyway, back on topic. Gorgeous day. Love the view from my new desk. Windows open. Low 80s with minimal humidity feels great.

73/50 at MVL with a breeze and bluebird skies.

69F up here at the mountain, almost fall-like after the heat.

Ah Misquamicut Beach nights in the mid 70's......

Who wants to brave those bronzed beauties

lying in the sun

with their long soft hair falling

flying as they run.

I met my wife in 1992 and this 1991 song spoke to me.  An experienced adult finally finding what was missing for a lifetime.  Still going strong.

Ladies that beautiful don't even enter my dreams. My brain is too perniciously realistic to let me have that much fun. At best I get Debra from Accounting for an "audit."

How you feeling? Pretty swell if I say so myself. Matunuck RI building

[HoarfrostHubb]

Nice running into Greenfield Hippy at the People’s Pint. Great food, and really good beer (Thank Chris! You really didn’t have to. I tipped well and bought some take home treats).  

Ran into a few stray showers on the ride home.  Unexpected.  

Like Tip said, chance of a heat wave next week, but a lot could screw that’s up.

Not sure who originally said this - “Man plans...God laughs.”

What a day.  When mid-afternoon is 75/45 and full sun and 10kts breeze.... doesn't get much nicer than that.

Should a nice chilly night for sleeping with these low dews and good rad conditions.
