I was in the local Northern Store this morning — one of the few places on The Island that is well air-conditioned — and therefore, comfortable. The locals proudly announced to me that yesterday (Wednesday, 13 June 2007) we were the hottest place in all of North America!
Well, the temps DID get WELL into the 90’s yesterday. Nobody did nothing. It was too hot to move. Last night we chilled to 75 degrees. Today we’re supposed to fry again. It’s well into the 80’s now (at 11:30 AM).
The coming weekend will be cooler, I’m told. Let’s hope so!

Pouring oil on troubled waters. Apologies and promises: ONR letter of 15 May 2007
All is quiet on The Island, for the moment, concerning train service and other modes of transportation.
I still can’t figure out when I’ll be able to leave for summer holidays. There is no information (that I trust) on a summer schedule.

One day last week — or was it the week before? — May 10, actually — the temperature spiked up to over 80 degrees (F).
Global warming?
This morning the temperature is at 22 degrees and falling. Everything is covered with snow. The sky is dark, and the snow is still coming.
Global confusion?
