In much of the world, this summer has been disagreeable, disastrous. There has been record heat waves and humid, dry, deadly weather. But here in Charlestown, Rhode Island, there has been pleasant weather. It has rarely been as warm as 90F, with usual temperature in the 70s. We have a window air conditioner that I have not bothered to install. This is a charmed place in a troubled summer.
