Listens: The Band, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"

"In the winter of '65..."

Very hot to today, but it will likely be hotter tomorrow. Our high today was 92F, with a heat index 0f 106F. Tomorrow, we have the first Excessive Heat WARNING of the summer. WE had a spectacular thunderstorm this morning that I somehow slept though. Kathryn said there was pink lghtning.

I was up at 5:30 a.m., and at 6 I got back to work on Sirenia Digest 208. Spooky sent it out to subscribers this afternoon. So, now I am only three issues behind (209-211). But before I can attend to those, I have to get back onto The Night Watchers and make some serious headway. Meanwhile, in my paleo' life, I'm working on the pterosaur paper; Drew Gentry has sent some beautiful computer scans (CT) of the skull of the next turtle we're describing; and I finally heard from Dr. David Burnham at the University of Kansas about one of their specimens Jun Ebersole and I will be working on. That's very big news, but I cannot yet announce it.

Have you predordered Bradbury Weather? If not, please do.

And there's the shop. It calls to you.

Oh, I didn't go to McWane today. There was just too much work to do here, but we are trying to figure out how to arrange so I'll have regular hours again, as I did pre-COVID.

Later,
Aunt Beast
