My grandmother lives in a beautiful part of a country across the pond. The summers in this place are balmy with low humidity. The winters are cool and mild. It’s only very occasionally that there is somewhat of a heatwave in the summer. In the winter time there might be a light dusting of snow […]

Looks like there’s another hurricane on the way to my state. This time, it looks like the entire state will get pummeled to varying degrees.
