from @chesapeakebayfoundation The face I make when someone says they don’t vote… With fewer than 100 days until Election Day, make sure you’re registered and that you vote with the Bay in mind this November! From osprey and rockfish, to the teeniest-tiniest mushroom in the middle of a PA forest—so many plants and animals rely on a healthy rivers, streams, and Chesapeake Bay. Who you vote for at the local, state, and federal levels play a HUGE part in restoring and protecting the Bay. Check out the link in our bio for five proven and cost-effective actions that elected officals and candidates should take to help make our waters clean and healthy. Not sure what their stance is? Ask them! You’ll also find resources for all the logistics surrounding voting, including voter registration, election rules, and finding your polling place.

Mothman flapping like crazy to get out of the summer heat.

Getting ready to grill some impossible burgers to go with the remainder of our squash for supper. Hope everyone is having a lovely night.

isolation day 138, continued
Swampwalk
Went bright and early this morning, after last night’s rain. Weather was ok in the shade, about 75f or so. Sun got strong quickly, though, maybe a dawn swamp walk is in order.

Saw very few birds, maybe 3 grackles and a robin. No mosquitoes or gnats which was a pleasant surprise.

Two squirrels and no sign of alien cat or black and white kitty. I saw a rustling in the woods, but have no idea if it was a fox, cat or possum.

Spotted a cargo plane overhead through the clearing, probably headed to Andrews Air Force Base. There hasn’t been as much air traffic over town in that direction lately, I wonder what dynamic changed? There are times we would see air force one (or marine one), along with a couple of fighters alongside but maybe they are on a new route.

Air conditioning is still working at home for the moment, but I remain cautiously hopeful that it will remain.

Isolation day 138 Had our ac checked, and it is likely the ductwork or thermostat. Repair guy checked the unit and it has all the freon and is working well otherwise, despite the day prior the house got to 85f despite being set to 72f. So far the greatest variance was 7 degrees hotter than the setting, and hopefully he will be back to make adjustments so things are within a closer breadth of reading. #thermoindicator #thermostat #hottimesummerinthecity
