Late night worries

...and by late night, I mean 9:58.

It feels late.  The days start between 5:45 and 6:15am, not counting the night feedings.  So I think my circadian rhythm is a bit off.

It's been awhile. Life gets away on you I guess.  That's the whole reason we started the blog, to try and keep perspective amid the daily clutter, but alas...

Is anyone else not fully enjoying the weather?

Maybe it's my worry wart tendency but it's freaking me out.   I will qualify this with the admition that I have done zero research on the topic and hope that the nagging worry is totally unfounded.  Still, I don't feel like it supposed to be 30 degrees in early May in Saskatchewan.  I felt the same way riding my bike in early December with just a light jacket.  Hearing about flash floods in the southern US and crazy blizzards in the Maritimes at the same time just makes me uneasy.  Then there's the fires.

I'm sure there may be reasonable, meteorological explanations for each of these individual weather phenomenon and I'm sure there have been periods of time in the past when extreme conditions have occurred.  It just feels like lately the extremes are becoming more the norm than the exception.  Once in 50 or 100 year events are happening every few years.

Perhaps our 24 news cycles and global awareness are just making it seem like these events are increasing in frequency.  I hope so because personally, every time I hear a weather forecast bragging about how we are breaking yet another temperature record, I cringe.

Does anyone have any reliable evidence to prove these worries are just that.....? Worries.
Does anyone have any evidence that we are in deep trouble and should start connecting Mother Nature's disastrous dots?

Either way, I know blogging does nothing productive regardless of the reality of the situation. It's just been on my mind and my two year old doesn't have much to contribute on the subject.

It's 10:15 now. I am up way past my bedtime.
