No climate change? & Ukraine update.

The middle of July and the high today was 17 C(63 F). That's incredible! However, if the weather forecast is correct, tomorrow it will be 25 C (77 F) and the next day 30 C (86 F). That is more summer-like. 

So, tomorrow it will be the perfect weather for us and that's a good thing. We have a meeting with Garrett at the Cat Cafe at 2 PM. We haven't seen him in two months and have a lot to talk about. He was one of Joan's sitters and she likes him. Me too.

I finally found an organization that is calling for a strike in America. It is being planned but the date won't be released until 48 hours beforehand. 

Meanwhile: Ukraine Support.

WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved $500 million in security assistance for Ukraine as part of its draft language for its Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, which also restricts A-10 aircraft retirements.

The bill also prohibits a controversial request made in President Donald Trump's June budget request to retire the Air Force A-10 fleet. The draft requires that the inventory of the A-10 cannot drop below 103 aircraft in FY26, ensuring the continued operation of these close air support planes.

The draft of the bill will make its way through the legislative process in the coming months. The lower House of Representatives kept Ukraine support at $300 million in its version. Source-Reuters.
