Tuesday evening 6/17

Still not entirely clear about the risk of storms on Thursday, but here's my best shot

TLDR: Generally nice weather continues this week except for Thursday, which will be hot and maybe stormy

Low tonight around 60

Tomorrow, Wednesday, chance of showers in the afternoon and very slight chance of a thunderstorm, nothing serious though, otherwise cloudy and seasonal, with highs around 80

Wednesday night slight chance of showers, low in the mid 60s

Thursday, chance of showers and breezy, hot with highs near 90. There is also a chance that a warm front cruising through to our north could cause thunderstorms, with a slight chance of high winds and hail. The front though is likely to come through Thurs night, and without the daytime heat the instability will be lower and the risk as well

....and then it gets better...

Friday sun and clouds, lower humidity, high in the low 80s. Friday night mostly clear, low in the lower 60s

The weekend looks lovely, with sunny days, highs in the low 80s, and lows in the mid to low 60s

asinine religious (mostly christian)  beliefs are given a pass, regardless of their asininity. e.g. the mormons. or how about the laying of hands in the oval office?

asinine beliefs like believing in bigfoot or flat earth, not so much.

Wait, what? Bigfoot is not real? Next, you'll be claiming Nessie doesn't exist.

They'll take my Nessie from my cold, wooly-gloved hands.

I walked past our rhododendron just now and the whole bush is abuzz. 

I had a whole Algaes For Flowernon thing in my head, but it didn't work. Instead I will leave you with this.

Flowers for Q-Anon.

A long time pet peeve of mine has been people using their lawn sprinkler to water their lawn during a drought when most of us are looking to conserve what water we have,  A higher level of peeveness is reserved for those who water the sidewalk and/or the roadway with their sprinkler, gifting passersby with a complementary shower.  Today I encountered a level of peeveness I haven't seen before, an unattended lawn sprinkler placed in the middle of the sidewalk, creating both a trip hazard and a water hazard in the heat of the day during a severe drought condition.  I hope I never encounter this again.

I guess they couldn't get Vanilla Ice.

I set my personal record for consecutive words without a mistake or incorrect guess at 42.

I forgot how well a thread can be derailed here. But, I shouldn’t be surprised,  I guess. 

In order to be derailed, a thread would need to have rails to begin with.

I guess you all missed the patriotic tribute to Medal of Honor recipients at the White House this afternoon. Try to see replays of this  occasion— These American servicemen and a woman served so that we can live free — and be free to criticize! 

I didn't see it televised and I was changing channels. On most channels they were showing Mayor Mamdani awarding the keys to the city (NYC) to the Nicks and the victory parade. As Trump went to one of the games, and knew well that this was scheduled, I guess he knew what would be televised despite his efforts to control the media.

Had a problem attaching the medal with the clasp, so he tied on the medal instead.
