    Polling shows they will pull more votes from the D’s than the R’s.

    Tim Scott and Byron Donalds are criticizing Florida’s new slavery curriculum. I guess they are now woke leftists?

    I have heard that too. Mostly an interior stratus deck, IIRC.

    … when measured in mm.

    A collective statement and not an individual one. Quite different.

    For Phil, I believe that would be any day whose name ends in the letter Y.

    Not being able to read minds, I do not know.

    Maybe they can have a unit when studying the Holocaust about the Jews who learned valuable industrial production skills while working for I.G. Farben, too. And just think of all the valuable agricultural production skills the educated and urban “new people” learned with the help of the Khmer Rouge! That should definitely be part of any Asian history curriculum.

    Is that what your echo chamber tells you to believe? Ibram X. Kendi, the guy with the scary-sounding African name who writes about critical race theory, says otherwise (i.e. that Black people can act in a racist way). https://www.cbc.ca/radio/outintheopen/ibram-x-kendi-says-we-are-either-being-racist-or-antiracist-there-is-no-middle-ground-1.5350278

    Dedunding the police is OK if MY SIDE does it!

    Do the names Charles Sumner and Preston Brooks ring a bell?

    To err is human therefore to expect the Founders were perfect or should have the last word on anything is to deny human nature. It is possible to believe this while at the same time believing they still had some (or even many) valid insights. Even some of the Founders themselves knew that:

    Defund the police! https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/desantis-puppet-board-moves-to-defund-8-million-police-budget-at-disney-the-same-cops-who-prevented-mass-shooting-from-happening-there/

    I know you would really, really like someone other than Trump to be the Republican nominee. So would I. But I don’t think it’s going to happen. Hopefully I am wrong on that.

    Chuckanut Mountains or some of the San Juan Islands (Orcas is very mountainous). I have never seen the Coast Mountains from south of Bellingham. Just too many other mountains in the way.
  17. Rubus Leucodermis
    Has to be the Cascades. Can’t see the Coast Mountains of BC until you get to Bellingham.

    Honesty is usually the best policy.

    Well, it would have been had Remembrance Day been a thing in 1911.

    I try not to boast, but it is hard to be humble.

    2001/2002 certainly qualified, but I just checked and that was coming off a strong La Niña into neutral conditions. Edit: or was that 00/01? Regardless, I do remember a winter in that time frame, one of the two, that was really dry and mild. The ground actually was dry on the surface in January, licorice ferns withered due to lack of rain, no snow except for a few flurries, only a few frosts. This was in Portland.

    Sure hope so. It would make for a more typical summer. Our summers are not supposed to be completely bone dry. And there was nothing “modest” about the most recent event in Whatcom County and southern BC. It was quite astounding up this way. Heavier than any rainfall since mid-January (that’s right, heavier than any rainfall in February).

    “BuT mOdEls OnLy PuLL thE rUg oN cOLd!” — whine that lasts most of the winter here

    It would be a classic El Niño winter. And that is probably what the model is doing: just going with the overall pattern for the expected ENSO state. One thing I will point out: El Niño has more of a warm signal than a dry one in the PNW. The strongest El Niño’s tend to be wet here, in fact. Edit: El Niño, not La Niña.

    Hopefully the next summer rain event both happens and shares the wealth a bit more equally, though to be honest this sort of northerly focus is really to be expected in many cases; summers get drier the further south one goes.
