I see us listed every day on the front page of the NYT in either the "Excessive Heat" or "Excessive Rain" categories.

Yesterday the "feel like" temp was 109, today 113 and tomorrow an eye popping 115! It is ridiulously hot, like a blast oven. Plants and trees and animals are all suffering when they ar out in the heat. We have moved our am walk up to 7am and only walking a mile instead of our usual 1.5 miles.

Anyone not believing in climate change that lives in FL is either a total idiot or someone who has no rememberance of the past. Yes, FL has always been hot, but never ever like this. We are watering our plants 2-3 times a day to cool them down. Even our inside/outside cat isn't staying out long in the heat, sometimes he just turns around and comes right back in.

We don't grow corn, much, lol.
