Watch

The heat wave continues; it's been upgraded from "excessive heat watch" to "... warning", and extended until Friday at 9PM. Gah.

And I will have to venture out into it today; I'm running low on drinkables and a few other supplies.

I haven't walked the dogs since Sunday. The heat doesn't seem to bother Buster; I'll see him out in the back yard in the high afternoon, just basking away. He's getting shaggy again, but I guess his coat serves to insulate him. (The fact that it's almost pure white probably helps too.)

Gah.

Legacy

I am no longer a young man. I am not even a young professor; the number of years since I came here is nearly double the number that remain before my planned retirement. I find myself thinking about my legacy, about what impact (slight though it surely will be) my years as a professor will have had on the world.
