November 20th in western Massachusetts. The temperature is 20° above average.

We’ve had very little rain - not just this month, the autumn, summer or spring but - this calendar year.

It’s no surprise that we have wildfires breaking out all across the state.

Yesterday, a fire broke through in south county - idiot humans who can’t be bothered to give a crap about the land and its creatures. The fire had grown to 1,110 acres as of midday today. I live 50 miles north of the fire and before sunset we could already see the haze and smell of smoke.
