Please write down any thoughts you have, questions, responses. That would be good. The jazz age, the period from 1919 to 1929 reminds me of the opening lines of the tale of two cities by charles dickens. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Temperatures rise steadily into this year. And just look at that peak. Now, of course, last month is part of a bigger picture. These squiggly grey lines you see here show the average temperatures across a calendar year. And this goes all the way back to before the industrial era began more than 200 years ago.
