I got out onto the farm by 6:30 AM today, in time to beat the sun. Went for a run, cleaned stalls, trained both of my horses. Got back in before 10 AM, by which time I'd lost five pounds of water weight and could barely stand up.

How was today for you all??

It’s quite chilly in Scotland. We were all wearing jumpers. Went for a wee walk down the woods in the evening and took my wax jackets 🧥 😊

Really freaking hot here in WNC. My horses are in the barn (free choice to avoid bugs) and my husband had shoulder surgery today. One of my sons is in the army and I just want you to know I appreciate your insight. Every day. You help me as a mama and a partner. Thank you.

Heat index was 111F here at the worst of the day. This is Canada now...

That was me on Saturday after timing at swim team for 5 hours in the sun then weeding. Nasty.

I just went to take the trash down, but decided to wait until the sun sets here in KY it’s in the mid 90s- whew!

I gained 5 just from reading your post

Hello. my name is Lee Han Gyeol. I'm a student that love history and learning English. I read your The story of the World. I'm Korean so I watched a picture in page 182. But you wrote it Sea of Japan. I hope that you fix it in East Sea because In 1923, the Japanese Empire applied for the name of the sea area to the east of the Korean Peninsula and west of Japan, the "Sea of ​​Japan," and it was approved without objection. There were several reasons for this. The Korean Peninsula had been under Japanese colonial rule since 1910, that is, a colony of the Japanese Empire, and in a situation where the sovereignty of the people did not exist, it could not participate in the decision on the name of this sea. In addition, Japan was a victorious country in World War I thanks to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and was a permanent member of the League of Nations at the time. [1] Naturally, Japan's statement as a permanent member of the League of Nations had an undeniable influence on the international community, especially in Asian issues. Therefore, the claim to use the name "Sea of ​​Japan" for this sea was approved and registered without any particular objection, as there were only Japan/Russia as neighboring countries at the time and in terms of geopolitics (territorial conditions). The second edition of the guidelines was compiled in 1937, which was also the period of Japanese colonial rule, and in 1953, after independence, the Korean War was in full swing and Korea had not yet joined the International Hydrographic Organization, so many maps produced in modern times continued to use the exclusive notation of the “Sea of ​​Japan.” In the end, Korea joined the International Hydrographic Organization in 1957, and when the Korea-Japan Fisheries Agreement was concluded in 1965, the two countries failed to reach an agreement on the names of their waters. In 1974, the International Hydrographic Organization recommended that when there is no agreement on a name between the countries adjacent to a specific sea, the names of all parties should be used together, but Japan refused, making the excuse that it was only applicable to bays and straits and not to the high seas such as the East Sea. After that, the 11th IHO General Assembly (1977) decided to revise the old 3rd edition and publish a new 'Limits of Oceans and Seas', and the Secretariat prepared a revised 4th edition that inserted maps by sea area and submitted it to a vote of member countries in 1986, but it was rejected.

Hear index was 102. I get very sick when I stay out in that kind of heat. So I got up early, around 6 am, watered all of my vegetable gardens, the apple trees, and potted plants. Then I came inside until 6:30 pm. The temp and humidity had dropped. I raced to mow our lawn and my mother's lawn before a rainstorm moved in at 8:00 pm. I have never been able to do both in just 1.5 hours, but I rode that mower like I was in a lawn mower race, and put it away as the 1st raindrops fell. Stay safe out there everyone!

Absurdly hot. It’s almost 9pm, and it finally cooled off to 88F, so I was able to do a few yard chores and go for a walk. I watched a squirrel take a nap in the bird bath today.

Stinkin' hot here in Central Texas. Inside activities only for me! So I taught a two-hour hula class. 🙂

AC went out 🙄 🥵

Heat index was 108° here and I'm still recovering from working in the garden for 2 hours this morning. Way too hot!!!

Rain and hail today in my part of Colorado Springs. Our heat was last weekend.

Same. I needed to fertilize the garden beds today. I think I fried my brain instead. I kept jumping in the pool and running out to do 10 more min of gardening and then back in pool. I got it completed but I’m spent. The air is so thick. I live in the coastal south, so we’re used to the humidity but this is humidity on steroids.

I went out to clean my pool for 10 mins and got sunburnt, not a ginger friendly day!

Spent 4+ hours with kindergarteners on their last day of school, then went over my lunch break to an interview for a posting for next fall. Then joined them as they were getting out of the pool.

I"m in Richmond for a few days. We went to the zoo, first thing in the morning, thinking we'd escape the worst. Nope. I had a heat exhaustion episode. I'm fine, but that was scary.

About the same.

Another scorcher in Alabama. Heat index hit 105 today. About the only thing that makes me as nervous as the fall and spring tornado seasons is the power bill during the summer.

This girl is training every day for the Kentucky 4-H Horse Program state fair competition that starts on Saturday. I have no clue how 11 year old people manage this heat in stride. She is also helping with putting up hay. 🫠🥵

I only went outside to fill the birdbaths. Heat index was 103.

It’s currently 71° in Denver, CO. We had that heat over the weekend before it wandered off to the east…

I am from Canada but live in Virginia

There is so much happening in the world right now that is difficult and disturbing, and that needs historical perspective and wise analysis. And I'll make a run at all that next week. But just for today, can I report to you that my bratty baby horse went out today, and did her job without being bratty about it, and we got her first qualifying score for fall regional championships???

We're only a little way down a long road but this was a milestone.

Your bratty baby is so pretty and seems innocent of all prior wrongdoing

Hooray! And an encouragement to all of us to continue with interests in and engagement with the physical world, right where we are. Thank you!

I don’t believe that this majestic beast is in any way a brat. Just kidding. I’ve brought along baby mares before. I know. (But she IS gorgeous, and yay for those big-girl-less-bratty pieces falling into place!)

She has a look in her eye that just seems to validate the "bratty" label. Seems mischievous at the very least, but absolutely gorgeous!

It feels like a time (once again, and always) to focus on what’s immediate to you; the things that truly matter, and where you can make a difference.

She maybe a brat, but she's gorgeous.

Oooh. She looks sassy! The brilliant ones usually are.

What champioships?

Gorgeous baby! Congrats

She's not looking at you side eye is she? She is beautiful!

What a beauty!

Congratulations! Your bratty baby horse is beautiful!

She's beautiful!! We are partial to paints at my house 💓

She is beautiful.

Mares gonna mare. 😆 She's stunning!

She’s beautiful!

Congratulations on the bratty baby. 😍

She is a beauty!

What a beautiful horse! (And I am not a horse person. 😊)
