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.

Can someone please explain to me why Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are the lead United States negotiators involved in the talks with Iran in Switzerland?   Yeah, I know they've been involved before but why?  Why not our Secretary of State or one of our cadre of foreign service professionals?   I realize that Trump has named Witkoff a "special envoy" but, to my understanding, Kushner has no formal capacity other than being Trump's son-in-law and associate grifter (see his dealings with Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman).   

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

It feels like the Reflecting Pool is doing a perfect job of reflecting the Administration.

And there it is, Sir Keir will go back to being the MP for the district I grew up in and it's highly likely Burnham will become the 8th PM in 10 years. What a shitshow.

I guess they couldn't get Vanilla Ice.

Wondering if the images of green algae on the newly painted blue reflecting pool have reached across the sea.

Thought this meme would go nicely with the image.

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.
