Well, another month has come and gone and our progress continues to be hindered by the series of unfortunately chaotic events that seems to be marring 2024. After a spring and early summer of below-normal temperatures and a fair bit of rain, we got two solid weeks of excessive heat with no relief. And then, we got smoke. Smoke that cost us two race days, and me a lot of riding time. My province is on fire. Our greatest natural treasure is under siege by it. My elderly pets have been having health crisis after health crisis.
