temperate and not so temperatures

On vacation, bought a newspaper, looked at the weather map. I love weather maps.

Nearly the entire US was red: temps in the 80s and up. The same temp way high in Alaska as in Tucson, Arizona. There was one little green oval: Maine, temps in 50s. There was a yellow circle around the green: temps in 60s.

It shocked me to see all that red, and I'm grateful for our green, even though I'm at a lake. I don't mind the grey and rain, perfect weather for a good book. It's just, wow, all that red, and what goes along: tornadoes, floods, heatstroke, drought. Changes.
