Heat index is now 105 F. Lousy little window air-conditioner almost useless.
We are beset by nature. I saw the largest coyote I've ever seen running out of the cornfield across the road the other day, apparently part of the pack we often hear howling at night. The neighbors' beagle is missing, along with all the rabbits we usually see, and every time we go for a walk down the road in the evening there's another dismembered critter in our path.
