Rain in May and June is really soothing... totally different sights and sounds. I have so many videos on my phone from years past. I just don't want it happening all the time... like May and the first half of June in 2022. A little too much of a good thing.

Nice rain this morning moving up out of Kansas. First of many chances in the next 4 days. Things are really greening up. Trees just starting to bud out.

It got down to 28 here in MBY and while it it cold there is not much if any frost here.

The official H/L yesterday was 52/35 there was no rainfall the sun was out 91% of the time. The highest wind gust was 26 MPH out of the NW. For today the average H/L is 62/41 the record high of 86 was set in 1915 and the record low of 22 was set in 1967 the record rainfall amount of 1.40” was in 2009. The most snowfall of 3.0” fell in 1976. Last year the H/L was 48/32. The overnight low here in MBY was 28 and at the current time with clear skies it is 32. It looks like the official low so far is 29 and that will be the coldest low for this April. That would be the warmest minimum for any April since 2010 and the 5th warmest minimum for any April at Grand Rapids.

51F and cloudy.

Cool day ahead. High 78. We have rain coming in the next 3 days. 80-83* for High. Farmers happy I’m sure.

It's been years if ever I've had a rainfall forecast like this 4-6 inches. Severe weather also possible 3 straight days with Saturday and Sunday being especially dangerous.

I don’t know any people like that. Those I know see it for what it is. Politics, bs, void of average American’s concerns and needs. The minutia may be the secret sauce of American politics but most people just want a good sandwich.

Heard a lot of that on my walk last night. That, and I was probably hearing the forest bloom in real time as millions of leaves grew and slowly brushed up against one another on a massive scale, making for little pops along the way. There was no wind, no rain.

I agree. I love to hear the water dripping from the leaves. We aren’t fully leafed out yet, but in a week or two we will be.

Frogs are preaching to the choir tonight. Having a late night smoke on the porch and it’s noisy out here. Between the frogs and snoring dogs.

Lol. That is dumb. Charlie Kirk is quite obviously a charlatan on the right.

Life comes at you fast sometimes.

Please find me any text where I show even shred of support for Hamas. I would have thought that I have made it crystal clear my positions on these past 19 pages. I will leave it up to you to interpret what I write however you like, as you do anyway. And where exactly would the Palestinians evacuate to? Egypt? Jordan? Lebanon? Syria? The U.S.? Israel? Nobody wants them for the same reasons why nobody really wants any refugees: They are a strain on the adoptive country. The surrounding countries already have a lot of Palestinian refugees. You probably also forgot about that blockade and barbed wire wall as well, huh? It's pretty heavily protected... except, for some reason, on Oct. 7th. Their total poverty and lack of travel options due to both Israel's blockade and Hamas' actions kinda makes them trapped in their own land. And quite frankly, why the f*ck should they evacuate? It's their land. Try telling a Texan to get off their own land. Remember Waco? We're not a country that likes to take orders from outsiders. You overlooked a lot, my guy. Let's not delude ourselves that somehow we are any different than the Palestinians living in Gaza or The West Bank. If we were in their shoes, many Americans would act exactly the same with the same anger and alignment with extremists or worse. Enemy of our enemy and all that. We live in absolute luxury compared to the Palestinians! That does not stop us from having idiots bombing abortion clinics due to their stupid beliefs. We have gang wars. We have white supremacists scattered across the country. Hell, we have mass shootings all the time! What's our excuse? No country backed by a world superpower is stealing our land, imprisoning/blockading us, and calling us the aggressors at the same time. Our sheer luck of not having to live their lives allows us to pretend that we are different. We're not. Take a look in the mirror and thank your God that you do not have to live like someone in Gaza while some doofus called Mr. Marine Layer judges you. Christianity preaches gratitude and empathy, right?

Already down to 30 here. Under a frost advisory, but should probably be a freeze warning.

I really love wet periods this time of year. Everything is so lush and green/blooming, and the way the rain smells. The contrast of brooding dark skies and a vibrant landscape. Totally different vibe than rainy periods October-March.

Moist.

Ended up with a 63/47 day here. Morning mix of clouds and sun then more overcast starting later in the afternoon with some spots of drizzle. Looking forward to the rain tomorrow.

Be careful who you're rooting for. It was once promised to Israel "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you". Hamas has had a dream to wipe out the entire Jewish population for years and they've been using Mein Kampf as their guidebook. It's the Israel vs. Hamas war, not the Israel vs. Palestine war. Hamas oppresses the Palestinians, yet a large number of them still support Hamas. Rooting for Hamas to win is just plain stupid and anyone on Hamas or supporting Hamas deserves to die. The innocent Palestinian civilians (those who don't support Hamas) have had plenty of chances to evacuate. Take a picture of yourself once you join the next college campus protest.

Double dipper trough trouble on the 00z Andrew.

Down to 42 now, 64/23 day. 7 days in a row with atleast a 38 degree diurnal spread each day. Good Night yall!

Wow, I don't know how I didn't catch that. Pretty good name, I'll have to start using it now to confuse people.

Wow, pretty good gaslighting and hysteria from none other than Mr. Gaslight himself, Jonathan A. Greenblatt. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/opinions/columbia-university-protests-greenblatt/index.html Yes, of course the protestors are furious. They are protesting an ongoing genocide that their government is bankrolling! Following the typical playbook by making all Jewish students fearful of their lives even though only a small fraction of the protestors are preaching violence and hateful comments. Perhaps we should do a study to see who has more to fear: These students or the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. He was moved by a sobbing woman? Try piecing together the body parts of a dismembered Palestinian woman or child killed from an Israeli airstrike. Cry me a river! My favorite: Donors should divest from institutions to get attention. That's hilarious! Perhaps we should ask him his thoughts on the BDS movement then. Bet he would not have the same opinion. Don't people like this idiot understand that the curtain has been lifted now? The youth have more news access and media sources than ever before. They have choices now in what and who to believe. Why do you think Israel wants to cut Al Jazeera? Cracking down on legitimate protests only makes the discontent and anger grow. Those 30,000+ dead Palestinians are not going to be forgotten no matter how hard Israel and its apologists try.

It was a play on the saying a cup of Joe.

Wow @TT-SEA
