It is 72° F (~22° C) and sunny in Richmond, VA. I'm doing yardwork and wearing shorts because of how warm it is out. Today is November 9, 2025

Yes, this is a milder region than where I've lived previously (Wisconsin, Colorado). But this is still way warmer than where it ought to be. Feels like early September, not the height of Fall.

I haven't been to the gym at all this week because the air quality is too bad. I've barely been outside.

I miss being able to camp or exercise in the summertime. I miss kayaking and biking and running and fishing.

I hate that our summers are made of fire now. #ClimateDiaries

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
Lord Byron
