Hot & Shaky

Heat is cooking the whole southeast
High pressure dome, truly a beast
The only relief we're likely to get
Is if by a thunderstorm we are hit
No break in the heat til early next week
So, water, AC or cool beverages seek

In the cooler north, Alaska's shaking
North to south, biggest state's quaking
North slope 5.3 and several in the 4's
But no tsunami from ruffled sea-floors
More shaking today east on the Ring
Usual spots where plate boundaries sing
Arkansas & Oklahoma shaking, too
Fracking cheap oil for me and for you
Drive On!

Caught Jupiter & Saturn last night
Low in the south, both very bright
New moon & S. American eclipse
Moon blocked sun, the shadow slips
Across Pacific, Chile & Argentina
Moon's shadow did careen-a
Next moon shadow across USA
2024, little less than 5 years away
Make your plans soon
I'll be west of Austin to swoon
But, today time to venture into the heat
Get a big dog out on his feet
Congrats! US women for win over Brits
Great game, exciting goals, few hits
On to Sunday's finale 
If I'm guessing who the winner will be
I'm thinking USA
Stay cool, on Earth, today
