...HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM NOON THURSDAY TO 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...
* WHAT...Heat index values up to near 100 expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From noon Thursday to 8 PM EDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. If you don`t have home air conditioning, continue to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
It’s not a holiday or observance here, but today is the 60th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision in Miranda v Arizona. It was the decision that established the legal requirement for police to inform someone they are arresting of their legal rights in the situation. Such as the right to the presence of an attorney, and the right to keep silent.
“Read him his rights” has become a pop culture substitute for “place him under arrest”.
We watch a number of police procedural TV shows which I generally enjoy. But they all seem to frequently rely on suspects making confessions without a lawyer presence. If our teenage daughter is watching with us, I always remind her that if she ever finds herself in any kind of negative interaction with the police, the only thing she should say is “I’d like an attorney present.”
Apologies, I thought that db posting the link to the story yesterday was enough context. My "faith group code" is still listed, so I have no skin in this game.
They kept Druid?
Ha! Maybe one of the 3 kinds of Wiccan they had listed, but I guess fall under No Religion, even though they used to have No Religion, Atheist, and Humanist listed. I just post about Celtic festivals from a cultural perspective, rather than a religious one.
One thing that is worth thinking about here is that these chaplains often serve on the front line of mental heath. People who wouldn't even think about seeing a psychologist will often talk to a priest. My Uncle, who was by no means a religious man, served multiple combat tours in Vietnam and he remained very close to a chaplain he met there all the way up to his suicide in the early 80s. Father Mike flew out from the East Coast to perform his funeral rites.
someone should explain to me why religious beliefs, regardless of how asinine they might be, (and no. they're not all asinine) must always deserve respect and deference.
Thank goodness asinine beliefs are confined to religion, and we never have to deal with them in any other venue.
Trump this morning - don't believe the people who told you he had a peace deal with Iran. Quote: "Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!"
No one would know more about being "dishonorable", "not dealing in good faith" and "pathetic" than Donald J Trump.
Hot, humid, and a chance of thunderstorms highlight the rest of the week. The NWS has issued a Heat Advisory for Thursday and Friday
This morning, there are a few showers in the area, otherwise mostly overcast today, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. There is a slight chance of a severe thunderstorm. High mid 80⁰s, and getting a bit more humid than the last few days. Overnight lo near 70⁰
Thursday starts out partly sunny and hot and humid, highs in the low 90⁰s. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, and a slight chance of a severe thunderstorm. Low in the 70⁰s
Friday sunny morning and again hot and humid, high in the 90⁰s and chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Low in the 70⁰s
Saturday looking like we could have the hot and humid without the thunderstorms, high near 90⁰ low near 70⁰
Sunday could be mostly sunny with showers and, yes, possibly a thunderstorm in the afternoon, hot, perhaps a bit less humid, high around 90⁰
Cold front finally breaks what could be the first official heat wave of summer on Monday with temps early next week looking to be in the low 80⁰s

Yum. Because of its tantalizingly limited season, strawberry rhubarb may be my favorite pie.
