Arizona was supposed to reopen for in-person learning in the public schools, and some areas have, but in other areas teachers mutinied and refused to teach in person, so learning in many areas is online only. My younger nephew was supposed to go to classes in person, but he was in one of the districts affected by the wildcat strike. At least he gets to play soccer once a week now. He had really been missing that. A lot of the children in my neighborhood are in a similar predicament, but at least I saw this morning that for some wet clothes are a coping mechanism.

This weather has been tiresome. We went from winter almost directly to summer in April, and we've stayed there. Yesterday the first of October the temperature range in Phoenix was from 76°F in the morning to 107°F in the afternoon. Hurricane Marie is headed further out into the Pacific and won't be giving us any rain, and no cold fronts are in the forecast. I decided I'd face cutting the lawn before work.

When I went out I found I had other work to do, as my 88 year old mother had insisted on going out in that heat and trimming the front hedge. I've often offered to do this, but she says I wouldn't do it right. After cleaning up the clippings, I finally got to the lawn.

As I was finishing the lawn, I saw three children emerge from the house across the street onto the driveway where they commenced to spraying each other with a hose. I had seen this before, but they had been wearing bathing suits on earlier occasions. Today they were wearing ordinary clothes. It seems they discovered that this feels even better. They waved to me, and I waved back.
