Good Evening,

   Conditions were as predicted: low noise, weak signals.  What I had not expected was the depth of the QSB.  S7 or 8 one moment to S2 or below the next.  Lower noise helped me dig out weaker signals.  Forty meters was its usual self - changing within a minute.  For some reason the sun has taken a vacation.

   However, there were reports of rain, smoke, and fog.  My brother told me of the smoke in southern Wisconsin.  I had not been paying attention to the fires in British Columbia.  The wind shifted a few days ago, now coming from the southeast.  This has kept the cooler clouds off shore but aimed the smoke from California and southern Oregon at me.  A medium orange sun, with scratchy eyes and a sore throat.

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe
impossible things.”

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was
your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve
believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
