Note
Very hazy out by the afternoon, easily discerned from the trails at Happy Jack. The thickest haze was to the west and south and I couldn't make up my mind whether it was just the usual sort of haze that gets generated along the Front Range during hot and dry weather, or if it was some forest fire(s) near and/or far, or what. As a general observation, I believe the air is getting hazier on average with each passing summer.
Lots of bikers out as is usual, and I crossed paths with another runner--less usual. Mountain biking reins supreme at Happy Jack these days.
Another hot day, and, if the forecasts hold up, tomorrow will be the 7th straight day above 80F--a new record--for just a brutal stretch of weather. Dogs spend all day loitering in the shadows and don't show even the merest hint of interest at chasing rabbits or mailmen, fishermen go down the river and open beer rather than their tackle boxes, bees only visit every other flower, and I even heard that some AC company was successful in making a sale of a small window AC unit to some rich family in town.
It's worse at night. Sometimes the temperature doesn't even drop below 50F, and of course when that happens and you leave ice cream out on the counter overnight, bad stuff happens. Like I said, just brutal.
