Field Notes- Tuesday, July 11th-- Rain overnight. Wet, Clouds, a bit chilly.

 Resultado.

A pretty notebook cover.  My eyes are dry and sticky today- a lack of moisture in the house.  No lack of moisture outside the house.  Everything got very wet overnight and thunderstorms are expected......

Everyone had Global Warming but Maine remains an outlier.  We stayed at 72 all day. But it was humid so I turned on the ac unit to remove moisture from rain and just being wet outdoors and then we were very comfortable.  

We all, on the street, have our garbage and recycling containers out......just in case the Collection Crew shows up.  The 4th of July messed up their scheduled appearances.  It also messed up Mail Delivery. None of the Town Services have been able to get back to the "usual" schedules.

A notice that our Oil Delivery system is now owned  ...not by Philadelphia but now...Boston.  And telephone services are no longer available...all communication will be via a log in internet service.  Which is so so idiotic....as Maine is on the list of States (via Biden's new internet infrastructure plan) because Maine literally has CRAP internet-if you have ANY internet. And, most counties have no internet.

Our son has wanted face to face conversations via internet...for years.  The screen locks up almost immediately...... Zoom things also are a failure- the sound is there but no images.

Writing these posts and actually thinking people can read this...is a "giant step for mankind" on my part. And yes that was a going to the moon reference.  I have breakfast dishes to wash.  And I am going to lunch with my Lunch Buddy.......today- on an hour.  Looking forward to it.....
