The 22nd day of the 7th month here on the south side of the sun

Still on the cooling kick.  Or maybe just the thought of it.  Perhaps it will help to break the dome of hot air over the country, but I doubt it.

Eastern Neck Island National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland back when the Tundra Swans came in each year from Alaska an Canada.

Some five to eight thousand of these birds would make the long trip each year and winter over on the Chesapeake.  Now, with the loss of bay grasses, they head mostly to areas in Virginia and North Carolina.  Sad!

Also sad is that we will probably need a hurricane to break the heat wave going on.  Hope not but coming up on that season soon.  Keep cool all!
