Weather for Hoosiers

We are like the frog in the cauldron. Mishawaka was cool for two weeks; gradually, it warmed; yesterday, suddenly, the temperature reached ninety (Fahrenheit).

Karin napped inside the air-conditioned house. Samuel and I remained on the sauna-porch. The little boy zonked out.


From time to time, he would raise an eyelid at the sound of a distant lawnmower or chainsaw.

Today was more of the same. The air was stagnant and sultry. Samuel scooted around the porch and covered himself in dirt which he transmitted to my sweaty face. I took some dead leaves out of his mouth. He resented that.

Tonight, on the other hand, we had severe t-storms and wind gusts of 50–70 m.p.h. There were even a few little tornadoes. I carried supplies down to the basement, but the worst winds were over quickly, and it never became necessary to hunker down.

The quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds of the UEFA Champions League will be played as single-game contests in Lisbon, at the home grounds of Benfica and Sporting (non-participants upon these lofty stages). Every match can be streamed gratis with a CBS All Access trial subscription.

The most odious clubs have all been eliminated, except PSG.
