Sept 5, 2020 - Saturday

The start of another wave of heat for the Bay Area -- triple digits predicted inland, away from the water. Probably high 90's here, near San Pablo Bay. Maybe the 80's for San Francisco -- which is near the top for them. Over 100 in Petaluma?

Large orange moon last night, waning a few days from full looking like a deflating pumpkin, soft on one side, drooping about halfway up from the horizon.  A faint smell of old campfires drifts through our open windows.

It' s funny how the body knows a hot day will be here and prods us awake not long after dawn to prowl and pad around in the bigger rooms, seeking more water, seeking movement, as if it already knows a siesta is in the works for the long hot afternoon. Best time to curl up with a New Yorker, that early morning hour of a hot day, when sleep evades us, when the couch calls, when kittens play with our feet and end up purring near our armpits.  This is wha I read today - and I think it tucks up into one article some of the complexities of this past spring and summer, when pandemic and racism collided.
