It's 90 degrees in late September. Hurricanes are devastating island nations at record levels.* Kim and Don are lobbing angry saber-rattling words as a precursor to either getting into bed or throwing nukes.
It's so hot today, I can't even get a proper exposure with my iPhone off my gleaming white skin...
So we came up to the roof to play...
And more importantly, drink our apocalyptic fears away...
(Note the upside down "Freedom Tower" gleaming in the desert sun over Manhattan)
Does anyone else feel like it's getting hot in here?

*(Update: or maybe the hurricanes aren't at record levels... see @everittdmickey's comment below. I'll take any silver lining we can get!)

Just wait. By 2029, there won't be any of that wine to sooth your fears.

It's the same way here in Minnesota, @dougkarr! It's very strange. We typically have some hot weather at the beginning of fall but nothing like this. The "feels like" temp on Friday was 96 degrees! Saturday and Sunday weren't much better. A chilled rose is a great remedy for it. : )

It is ridiculously hot, fortunately my parents live on Seneca Lake and I live five minutes from them :)
Didn't it feel like fall was on its way? What happened? Ha, I shouldn't complain, NY winters are too long and I'm not in any hurry for it to begin, but is it me or have you noticed that NY seems to have only two seasons now, with tiny teasers of spring and fall?
I'm guessing its worse in the city, I have family on Long Island and they tell me now is not the time to visit, so I'm heading north to Vermont to visit other family instead :)

Yeah, that's very much my feeling too. The last few years it's been Summer and Winter here. More binary than gradual. Strange. I love Vermont! Have a great time up there.

what a relaxing post. I feel soothed. I feel light like a feather. I feel like drinking lots and lots and lots of wine and then going up to the rooftop. Whats the worst that could happen? I might catch a cool breeze and perhaps ENJOY myself for a couple of seconds? Stop being such a killjoy....

Just so you know.
The hurricanes are NOT at record high levels.
The Accumulated Cyclonic Energy Index is STILL below normal since beginning of measurement..
Given a five hundred year time frame the hurricanes are at record LOWS.

According to Wikipedia, the ACE for the 2017 Atlantic season is 182 so far, and that makes it an above normal season, ranked 8th out of 67 seasons.

.....just as an additional note, I wrote a little apocalyptic song and posted it to the steemit open mic competition earlier today. I thought theres a chance you might appreciate it. Its a darkly comedic little tune...its called 'Acting like a normal guy'. peace and love x basil
