It is hot here, beastly hot. The thermometer has held steady at 100 plus degrees for days now, with no relief in sight. Our sun seems to be making a statement. It occurs for me that our sun is the force for all life here. We depend on and are at the mercy of this star. We are beginning to harness its energy with solar cells and panels. Take a look at the image of the sun on this blog. It is dated July 2nd, and you can’t help but notice someone or something “parked” there who must be much further along with solar power than we are. This puts things in perspective.
