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. 

You've pointed to zero evidence backing up Russian claims about bioweapons, and further explicitly stated you have no interest in searching for such evidence. You're right that we disagree --  I find accepting a claim based on nothing beyond a bias toward Russia to be an unreasonable stance.

Thanks!  How did you look it up? 

Cementics.

Abdullah Ibrahim (née Dollar Brand) Eminent South African Jazz Pianist, Dies at 91. I saw him in concert at Lincoln Center November of 2024. He appeared old and infirm but played beautifully. Very interesting, global influences and life.

It's not much of a job, but she's doing what she can to get ahead.

So what’s the point of having a basket to catch the heads if you then have to sweep them up later?  That seems like poor planning.  Maybe the lesson is get a bigger basket?

Or maybe a rubbish bin with wheels is more appropriate. Then you could really say “heads will roll”.

What was the sidewalk's view of this conflict?

Pedestrian but concrete.

Do you makes jokes like this in front of your children?

I expect he'd be able to curb himself.

I guess they couldn't get Vanilla Ice.
