@steter "We peaked at 97.3F" 😱 We were suppossed to get hammered with some of that heat in the southern end of the Willamette Valley but ended up 10 degrees cooler.
I went to the #NoKings march in Eugene, Oregon, today. I am guessing there were at least five to six thousand people (possibly many more). The crowd was fired up! And we are just getting warmed up.

@steter Last summer, I noticed we didn't have any extreme peaks in temperature but there were a lot of days over 90F -- much more than I remember in the past. This year, I am starting to track when and how many.
"[Oregon State] HB 2977 - otherwise known as 1% for Wildlife - is currently making its way through the Oregon legislature. This critical bill, which would secure funding for Oregon’s most imperiled species, is especially important given recent efforts by the federal government to dismantle wildlife protections and slash funding for conservation."
Please sign this petition and contact your Oregon State Representative and Oregon State Senator! Thank you!
I just ordered a dansk vimpel to fly from our front porch -- a subtle way to tell our Trump-supporting neighbors (meaning most of our neighbors) to fuck off.
@tzimmer_history I don’t know what the hell is happening to National Public Radio (NPR) but according to one of their commentaries, today, “… it's possible that the comment [by Trump about encouraging Russia to go after “delinquent” NATO allies] was just a throwaway line at one of many rallies he will hold before the election."
