Mother nature’s air conditioner is on its way, course we might have to pay for it with a tornado strike or two, but there you are.  I always think of Minnesota as a safe place when I read about Santa Ana fanned fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami’s, hurricanes, then a sudden storm reminds of me derechos and tornadoes.  Oh, blizzards and 38 below zero, too.  Yes.  And ice?  Well, yes.  Other than that, though.

Inside with the air conditioner on and the heat outside.  Back ouchy after lifting a bag of not heavy at all mulch.  Geez.
