Name change

I changed the name of this blog to "Croit Coille na Dragan" after my wife convinced me to focus on Gaeilge (Irish) instead of Gáidhlig (Scottish Gaelic). Same meaning, different language.

Why I love August

Four of the past six days have been above 30º Celsius. Three of those have been above 32º Celsius (90º Fahrenheit). Desipte the fact that it has been bloody hot, August isn't half bad. Why? Because the nights are wonderful! In the middle of July, a 30º day will often mean a hot and sticky night. That happens occasionally in August, but it's not the norm. Instead, hot days are followed by pleasant evenings and cool nights...

Through A.D. 2007 August 05, we're up to 21 days at or above 30º Celsius.
