Sep. 10th, 2017 06:10 pm1. Good news, Irma has made landfall in Naples as Cat3, and rapidly downsized to a CAT2, I think my Aunt and Uncle will be okay. (fingers crossed)
Bad news...while we're all paying attention to the noisy hurricanes, Northwestern Canada and the Northwestern United States is on fire. Literally. Montana has lost over 1.34 million acres, just Montana. There are over 65 forest fires burning in the United States alone, not counting the many more in Canada. The combination of severe drought and above average temperatures in the 100s has resulted in forest fires and bad air quality.
While Hurricanes plague the South, the West is on Fire.
2. Took a lovely and long meditative walk from Brooklyn Promenade to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Lovely scenery and a beautiful sky blue day for it. In the park, lying on the grass on a towel, was a naked white guy in his sixties. He had long white hair. And wasn't wearing anything but a thong. Or a yellow jock strap. I stared at his naked back and bun for five seconds, and looked around, no one else appeared to notice or care, and I shrugged, "only in New York City", and wandered onwards.
It's in the low seventies here, with a nice crisp breeze. It is not in the 90s. He also was pasty white with a bit of bronzing burn. So I have no idea what he was thinking.
Other than that, it was a lovely walk. Wildflowers, trees, lovely views.
The world can seem overwhelming at times...so it helps to take little breaks.
