In reply to Grumpy Swede's message of 5 Feb 2025:
It's getting more and more bizarre this v2 of the Trump presidency,
It is a narcissist, it will do everything to assure itself it will be talked about for a thousand years, that is the only thing that matters to itself. Bizarre is to be expected, it is the norm.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the Scientists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a scientist

Then they came for the Teachers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a teacher

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

In reply to Grant (SSSF)'s message of 23 Jan 2025:
It's not a good sign when you are getting fire activity like this in what is meant to be your off season for fires.
Hope you get some good late rain, otherwise your official fire season will likely be beyond horrendous...
Good luck.
Our fire season is usually the transition between autumn and winter when the wind patterns change from the calm of summer to the storm wind pattern. As the Jet stream moves south we get trapped between high and low pressure areas. The fire season ends with drenching rain, but La Nina this year.

While we need rain, now it has to come slow or the mud will flow.

For the majority of us who didn't lose everything, life is back to some almost normal routine. Some who didn't lose their abodes still don't have all the utilities. For far too many, they have the clothes on their backs.

Now a new fire burns in the northwest part of the county. We hope for the best.

Fire did not consume my abode. Too much excitement. Now I need sleep.
Good news. 🙏🏼

For me, not for the other people in the 7000+ structures burned by the Eaton fire.

In reply to Dave's message of 18 Dec 2024:
Km/hour is the metric option for wind speed.

No no no. SI is MKS Meters, Kilograms, Seconds. The metric option is meters a second.

Of course for any practical use it is knots.

If you insist on proper units, 27 today and tomorrow. Might go down a couple by the solstice, but sunny, clear except for bush-fire smoke.

Grumble: "Environmentally Friendly" wire insulation. Mice and rats like to chew because it doesn't taste like poison chemicals (like the not friendly stuff)
Day without a car and an empty wallet is the result.
Then we can't sell rat poison, it isn't "humane."

Looks like it is time for "a run for the border"

What new reply?
That one, I think.

Yes should have said quote not reply.

I'm sure everyone will enjoy how much more space everything will take up.

In reply to Dave's message of 6 Nov 2024:
I wonder if he's even noticed the increasing number and strength of hurricanes recently? If he has, he sure hasn't joined the dots.
What is needed is for one to hit Mar-a-Lago. Ideally, well I could make a list of those who could do with being there at the time.

Only after he dismantles FEMA!
