Apparently sometime a couple days ago I went to bed in West Virginia and woke up in sub-Saharan Africa. It’s been over 90 degrees every day the last few days. In fucking June. It’s so hot and humid that when I go outside and come back in my glasses fog up and I stumble around (more so than usual) for five minutes. I was just sitting here a minute ago and thought about staking my tomatoes, and the mere thought made me break out into a sweat.
God damned Al Gore.
*** Update ***
Got the really sad news today that one of my buddies from my lacrosse team in college died today at the age of 39. His name was Sid Davis, and he was from WV, but lived in Arizona. He was riding his motorcycle with no helmet, hit a deer, and spend a couple days in the ICU before dying. Just horrible. I still remember his laugh, and we had some really crazy times together. Our lacrosse team was like a fraternity- we did everything together. So sad.
I will never get used to people I know dying.

Today my kids asked me why the heat didn’t seem to bother me. I told them it is because I grew up in a tiny NYC without A/C or any type of cross breeze. The 94 degrees and gusty wind we had today just doesn’t meet my threshold of discomfort.
I do wish it would rain though; the garden isn’t looking too great at the moment.

I discreetly routed a 100 foot hose from the backyard to the well pump in the garage. On the well pump side, I put in a water timer. On the garden side, I put in a 75 foot soaker hose strategically snaked around all the plants, which are planted through landscape fabric.
Needless to say, the garden is doing extraordinarily well. No weeds and big happy, burgeoning plants.

Ditto here in NoVa. Got up to 98° today, after 96° yesterday. It’s still 86° now, an hour after sundown. Supposed to get down into the high 80s over the weekend, but this is a rough stretch. The historical average for this day is a high of 88° and a low of 70°.

Speaking of polls (CAN’T HELP IT), is anyone else getting the sense that perhaps TEH ECONOMY may have been talked up a bit too much this year as the singular, all-important determinant of elections? That’s of course not to say that it’s not very important – it is – but it seems like a combination of conventional wisdom and frenetic mathification have conspired to convince everyone that November will be little more than the inflexible, mathematical result of a set of purely economic data.
Where commentators once overestimated candidates’ personalities, narratives, and campaigns, I get the feeling we may be making a similar mistake in the direction of supposedly “objective” economic metrics. Which is all to say we still have no freaking clue what even August is going to look like, much less September and October, and perhaps a bit of humility is in order.

@DCLaw1: I hope the economy isn’t the only factor, because it isn’t going to look good in Nov., barring some sort of stimulus.
Manufacturing(and hiring in sector) slowed last month. Exports slowed. Job growth has stalled. Every economy, even China and India, is slowing. I don’t think another recession is out of the question.
The Obama campaign knows it. They’ve really started hammering congress for not passing his jobs bill and the transportation bill. If he can effectively explain the unprecedented public sector job losses(almost entirely in Republican controlled states), and its devastating effect on growth, it should mitigate the political damage should the economy tank again.

Ridiculously hot here, too. Upper 90s. In freaking June! The good news is that my potted herb garden is flourishing and the potted beefsteak tomatoes are starting to bear fruit. In the big garden, Hungarian peppers are going gangbusters and the plum and San Marzanos are about to fruit. Beans and cabbage, carrots and beets, and green and red peppers and zucchini are all also going crazy. We already harvested over two gallons of black raspberries and in a few days should have a similar amount of red ones. Pear trees have fruit and the new peach trees do, too. Even the old grape vines have loads of bunches of grapes, something we didn’t think could happen. Never seen a growing season like this. Ever.

It was a surprisingly not-so-humid 100 degrees in Philadelphia today and yesterday. I don’t mind it when I’m outdoors and there’s a breeze–in my bread box of a rowhouse, though, it gets stifling above 85 degrees. Air conditioning for me–definitely.
My childhood memories tell me this kind of weather was only like five or six days across July and August, not as early as May and June (and sometimes as late as late September). I’m comfortable calling it “global warming”.

@Hill Dweller: What I’m wondering is whether the American economy, rather than actually decline, just continues to slog along, with unemployment remaining more or less the same. If that’s the case, it will add yet another facet of rending ambiguity to the election – not bad enough to make Obama’s defeat likely, but not good enough for the opposite either. Just meh.
That was the Fed’s revised prediction, more or less. Barring Euro collapse, we probably won’t slip into recession, but we’ll just kind of putter along. In that environment, it wouldn’t be entirely unpersuasive for Obama to make the “I rescued the country from a depression and we need to stay the course” argument. But if the economy is actually falling, that would play into Romney’s argument, notwithstanding attempts to blame it on recalcitrant GOP congressmen and austerity-fetishizing GOP governors.
But the recent economy uber alles trend postulates that even sluggish growth (as opposed to downward fall) results in incumbent defeat. That, I believe, is too reductionist, and doesn’t account for what everyone already knows, that Obama was handed an economy in free fall. The other models for incumbents in bad economies tended not to have such an environment at the beginning of the term.

I don’t comment much, but I couldn’t think of a better place to solicit some progressive opinion on a small moral conundrum I came across today.
So I am going to be finishing graduate school soon and have been applying for jobs. I’ve been having some problems getting call-backs/interviews because, while all my degrees are in one engineering discipline, all my research has been in areas that are traditionally under the purview of 2 other engineering disciplines. Thus when looking at job postings that match my skill set they want X or Y engineering degree, but I have Z. Typically I don’t think this would be a problem because they always list “or other related discipline”, but with the job market the way it is I don’t think employers have any problem finding candidates with the specific degree they are looking for. Also the funding for my project ran out about 6 months ago and I’ve been living off the meager savings I was able to accumulate from my stipend.
Now on to the moral dilemma. I found a posting today that matches my skill set perfectly and, because of the nature of the job, they want the degree I have. Yay! Oh wait, it’s with Halliburton developing fracking processes. Obviously something I have serious qualms about, but my savings aren’t gonna last long.

@redacted:
Most people, even including me, when they land a job, they quit looking. I think this happens because living day to day in the unknown and pitching yourself as a product or an asset can have a kind of “asshole” stigma to it. To your moral dilemma, if it doesn’t supercede your other moral responsibilities, aka taking care of house, home, family, etc. Take the fucking job, try not to mess things up too much, but KEEP LOOKING!
redacted
@freelancer:
Thanks. It’s definitely something I’m considering. Right now I would definitely want to keep looking, but I find constantly trying to make myself seem as awesome as possible quite exhausting. I feel like I could easily fall into that trap you speak of. And at a personal level I think I would enjoy the actual work, just not the end result (it would be several layers removed from on-the-ground job of fracking).
But there’s obviously no guarantee I’d even get the job. It just seems like they posted my resume and said “We want someone like this.”

Liquid
John, I empathize with you.
I lost a close friend back in ’04 to a car wreck. He called me just as he was leaving his place of work in Everett on a friday night.
“Hey, I gotta stop off at home but I’ll be down there in about an hour.”
“Right, see you then.”
Then I didn’t hear from him for the rest of the weekend. We all made jokes — Well, he’s either with a woman, in jail, or he’s dead (hahaha). But that unrelenting silence from his cell started to disturb us.
Then the monday morning paper arrived at my door. Nothing much of interest, usual political crap, M’s lose again, etc.
Then I get to the Metro Section.
My eye caught one of the blurbs that stated “Lynnwood man, 22, dies in crash.” At that moment I knew it was Josh.
Apparently, no less than five minutes after hanging up with me he took a turn too fast, lost control, and his car wound up in the oncoming lane where a group of four teenage girls in a suburban hit him head-on.
Now we make a pilgramage every May 7th to Orcas Island. Usually we make landfall around noon, have lunch at the Orcas Hotel, and then head to the gravesite for a few hours.
Then on to spend time with his folks who are doing well but the sadness and loss is, of course, still there just beneath the surface.
Anyway, I am sorry for your loss John.
