Russia is being Beat up by Mother Nature…

I see Russians play chess in freezing weather but right now I can not find any out playing chess. Why?
Because to this part of the world it is hot, very hot and I can not fault them, because they are not use to it. I find it wonderful and very much like the weather in Arizona or New Mexico in America. It is hot but dry and I can breath good and still function.
I found this excerpt from another article that talks about a regulation in Russia on work days when it is hot:
30 C is 86 F for us Americans so by around 90 F you are not suppose to be working at all. That is cool…
Now this rule, as they have just found out this year, can not be followed very well. Because if they did, all productivity would cease for a long awhile this summer. But this rule goes to show you that a good portion of Russia does not get this kind of heat for very long at all…
It is what you are use to and Russians are not use to this heat. Now I am not saying all Russians, because down South in Russia I can attest to the fact that they get hot every year.
But this goes beyond just heat. The rain has ceased with it and now we have reached the point where the last drought this bad was 40 years ago. So times are interesting…
I find it very nice here but I would like a little discomfort and have some rain falling. That means humidity and that makes it harder on me.
But that would be fine because it would cool down and the crops would be saved and the guys would come back out to play chess… 
Windows to Russia!
The rain doesn't stop in KC. My dad and I baled a few bales of hay today just to tune up the baler…circa 1973. The pasture soil is very very damp and plain muddy in places. I've never seen this in July. Since the first of the month I think we've got 8″ of rain. It's been this way since late March. Today was hot. Very hot.

Hey Blackseabrew,
I can remember the rains and I can remember the droughts. One thing I do not miss is the ungodly heat in the summer with the humidity.
I bet corn was a lot taller than knee high by the 4th this year. Corn loves that weather…
Thanks very much for stopping by. You make me wish I was standing in a field down South of KC and I can just smell that fresh cut hay…
Do you square bale or round?
Kyle
