The cold front was just delayed most likelySadly; the point and click for my area shows the high temp for next Wed went up 5 degrees and the temp for Thurs went up 10 degrees, since midnight. I knew it was too good to be true.

Deer are a common sight in my neighborhood and sometimes in my yard. This year I'm seeing lots of turkeys for the first time. They have all been hens and if they show up in my yard around Thanksgiving, watch out! I'm just kidding, that could get me in big time trouble with the NC Wildlife Department. I'll have to wait until Turkey season in the Spring.

Leaves are turning straight brown on a few trees
I'm genuinely confused. Logic says it hasn't but it just doesn't feel the same. Younger guys say the same. My only educated guess is whatever climate shift we hit in late 2020/early 2021 increased our sunshine hours around here and we're just not getting as much sunlight filtered through clouds as before. Maybe it'll swap back around. I do miss those crazy volcano sunsets we had for awhile after the Tonga eruption.
Yep made me think my reds oaks had wilting disease. Nope just getting baked all day and it's still 96 degrees out.
Filling up for $4.22gal. This sh*t genuinely ain’t funny no more

Yep, it’s tough. Hopefully it will settle out. I remember the summer of 2008, I was living in Pensacola and had a 26’ offshore boat with a 200 gallon tank. I was obsessed with tuna fishing at the rigs. I had my first real adult job back then (commercial diving) and vividly remember splitting gas with 4 friends and putting $700 total in it after a trip. Gas was around $4 a gallon that summer. If I remover right it crashed out below $2 the next year probably due to the financial crisis.
The difference between now and then was it didn’t seem like everything else was so expensive, mainly food and housing. I also didn’t have any responsibilities other than myself. I do feel for the younger kids finishing school now who didn’t have the advantages some of us older guys (I’m only 43) had, namely being able to buy homes for really cheap and then sell them down the road with plenty of equity. Definitely gave us a bit of a leg up. Hopefully things level back off, it’s a different world it seems like over the past 6 years or so. I miss those days of no phones, no worries. I did love old school forums like this though back then, and still much prefer them to social media.
I feel it much more in fall and winter. It may just be the getting older thing, but even when it is cold, the sun just feels hotter and even more so through car windows.
Maybe just being older and slightly heavier helps a person absorb more solar energy or something.
