7. I'm in North County. So far, hottest we've had this week is 107.

10 minutes shy of 9:00 p.m. and it's 86° out right now. I have my AC set at 84°, and it turned off about 30 minutes ago. I feel like I'm breathing sawdust.

Toss in the three fires to the north, all within a 30-minute drive, and a couple of fires to the south, (thankfully those ones are out,) and it's definitely that time of year. But of course, there's no such thing as climate change.

My parents retired in this area in 1982. The climate was so temperate that they didn't put air conditioning in their home. Had to install it years later when it started to warm up around here.

I love how the Republicans in my area refuse to admit there is such a thing as climate change. But at the same time, they complain that the plants they used to be able to grow in their yards, no longer grow in this area. Umm, wonder why that is?
Oh yeah, climate change.
