Weather here is trippin' me out a little

It really does feel different. I noticed it last year. This year it's miserable. I live in the Blue Ridge mountains and it's been in the upper 80's and not really that humid, but walking outside mid afternoon feels like I've opened my oven door after an hour of baking.

Most of my experience is with the Taos area.

The energy there is...unique. Very, very old. Beyond words.

Beware, if the mountain calls your name, you will be drawn back there, one way or another. Many have been called over the years.

Heh, I've wondered how fast I can move to get my doors blocked with blankets, and me and my cat up off the floor, if ever I look out my back door and see a huge wall of water coming down the mountains.

I've already been in a flash flood once here while working. I was driving....it was something else. Cars on the side of the road. People out, soaking wet. I took what I thought was the safest route back home after dropping my client off, but forgot about one "dip." I knew this dip, figured I'd make it, came close to not making it, the water was moving so fast, harhar, but got to the other side and home, where I found water had come into my apartment, but only enough to soak my rug....henceforth, why I have quilts rolled up and put away, easy to reach, in case they're ever needed.

They've been building aquaducts around here lately, this good....until I saw some of the HUGE concrete pipe pieces they're putting in the ground.

I saw those pipe pieces, they must've been 18 ft. wide, they dwarfed men, and I was all like.... what are they expecting, a biblical flood?

The things that make one to say, "ummmm, what the hell?", huh?

Life on the Big Bluesy Marble, eh?....harhar

The thing is, the heat this year even feels different. The temp will say 80 degrees but I swear this year it feels like the sun is straight up searing my skin off. Impossible to find any sort of comfort in.
