Be sure to say hi to Monty for me.  I'm sure he's still waiting.

You mean besides buildings with AC. Or cars with AC. Not a good day for a jog perhaps.

This from the Met Office is interesting explaining our shit summer:

It also mentions the US heatwave briefly:

The US heat wave is also beneath a northward meander and a ridge of high pressure.

It's a wonderful, wonderful summer here.

Yesterday I watched a report about cattle ranchers in the mid-West, mountain states and it's really quite heartbreaking what this drought is doing to their farms and cattle. When they go under for climate and financial reasons there not much hope of them coming back or someone replacing them.

If you're just looking for ways to beat the summer heat surely there are other, closer places to go.

Yukon for one.  I'm sure I could help line you up with a nice cabin by, say, Kusawa Lake for pretty cheap.

Why is that?  Global demand for meat is growing by leaps and bounds.

It's really embarrassing how quickly he's betrayed his manifest destiny continental climate and gone native so as to embrace the NW Europe maritime weather.

Though  Ed there is a sting in the tail, coastal Northern France seems to have much more violent storms that rip through the region as compared to similar weather fronts over here, just the other side of the channel.

I'm not sure you can write off 3,000 dead head of cattle.  Don't think there's livestock insurance, gotta look into that.

"When they go under for climate and financial reasons there not much hope of them coming back or someone replacing them. "

I'd bet there's livestock insurance.  You can insure anything.

If you can, it doesn't necessarily mean the fees are affordable.

And who's going to say,ok look rancher X's business failed because of dough/ fire devastated / reduced water supply, I think I see an opportunity to start a ranch there. 

I think the person would weight for the short/medium term weather problem to dissipate and the range to recover a bit before starting a new livestock business.

And a ranch or farm isn't a entity on its own, to some extent it needs a viable set of other agricultural businesses in the area for it to succeed.

Here you go - your own log cabin, on your own fucking 42 acre island, 3 miles from Dawson City.  And all probably cheaper than the POS farmhouses you're looking at in Normandy.

No, they'd say, ok look the price of beef has gone up x%, I think I see an opportunity to go into the cattle business.
