Tomorrow is this thing on Bessie Coleman.

To remind everybody, back when I went on a biographies kick (which I'm still sorta on! Picture book biographies, send them my way) I discovered Bessie Coleman, who was the first American of any race or gender to get an international pilot's license, and she did it before Earhart, too!

I'm a great admirer of the woman, so yes, we're gonna be there. Oh, yes, we are.

It occurred to me just now to check and make sure they're still doing that, y'know, because of the heat.

They ARE still having this outdoor reading at 3pm, in the full heat of day... but they are NOT holding the evening campfire, because of the "extreme weather conditions". No argument here, but wouldn't you expect them to cancel the even that's in the sunlight rather than the one that's after the temperatures have theoretically dropped?

Perhaps people need parasols or some other source of shade. Maybe they figure, well, we can't fix the heat, but making more of it with fire seems like a bad idea?
