Too hot too quickly.

The last duckling died.  Simply too much.  I buried the pair together.

If I can find ducklings... perhaps before looking I will build a small cage, suitable for nesting as well.  Actually I will get on that soon.  Find a plan I can use, hopefully whole cloth, or alter a near-beer plan.  It has to be warm enough at night and cool enough during the day.  I'm not sure that is possible currently.  With spikes nearly to, possibly over, 100.  I don't known how hot it was earlier.  It did cloud over and drop to the low eighties... in the shade.  My guess is that it cracked 90° and change.

I was beginning to come undone in here at 75°.  It remains that warm.  However, I went upstairs and back to sleep.  It was 70°, but cooled off to 67° by the time I woke.  Clouds help.  However, with 70° being the coolest I have seen it in a week or two, I had to really work at waking then rising.  Odd how a few degrees will get you... me anyway.

Sam received kibbles.  It looks like Sassy is really eating the heck out of those.  I'll have to buy a lot more of that type of food.  Why not in the winter?  They are tripling eating that food?  And with Sam outside?  Hmm, being "borrowed"?  I'll... figure things out shortly.  I don't know how Sam can handle that heat.  As mentioned, I wondered if it wasn't to escape Sassy, but then remembered she was always that way.  And summers around here are always... mostly... brutal.

Weather seems to be normalizing.  I am guessing China is back to, or near, full production.  This weather was a sign.  Not that I am absolutely certain, just that it fits my considerations.

I am going back upstairs.  Either to cool off while working on the puzzle or napping again.  I can handle 75° for a long while.  But if I heat up doing even a few things I need to chill, literally.  It's just too hot, and it got that hot very quickly.  No time to acclimate. Even eighty was a hit, but the 90's are murder.  Later.
