  1. The only time I get prescription anxiety meds is when I need to fly. Most likely due to the fact that my first ever flight happened a week after the United DC-10 crashed in Iowa. 
    And of course that first plane I ever stepped foot on was a Northwest air DC-10. 
    Then I flew on an Alaska Air MD-80 a few weeks before that Alaska Air MD-80 (that could have been the same one) crashed into the pacific. Ever since then I have needed meds since I figured my luck was running out. Now, give me an Airbus or a Boeing 737 700 or older.

    Today's thermal profile is pretty much dry adiabatic all the way up to 700mb, thanks to some descending easterlies above 5000'. We worked extra hard to reach the 60s today, despite the chilly air aloft. Side note...Unless they knicked it just after 5pm, it looks like KSEA avoided the 60F mark by a hair.

    No matter what though the dry air is making it feel much cooler. And as an ode to how deeply mixed today was, despite dewpoints in the mid 20s, there were still some tufts of cumulus about this afternoon; way up high of course at the very top of the boundary layer where the particularly precocious lifted parcels nudged just barely high enough to saturate, probably around 7000'+.

    The breeze smelled quite clean today!

    Our state is jumping right into things. The Washington Department of Ecology declared a drought emergency for nearly the entire state.  They say we had a very dry winter, which we did.  They say we have low snow pack and it's diminishing fast.  “There is simply not enough water contained in mountain snow and reservoirs to prevent serious impacts for water users in the months ahead.”

    According to WA Ecology, statewide snowpack stands at 68% as of Tuesday, with some areas — including the Olympic Mountains, Lower Yakima and the north Sound — registering “significantly lower.”

    “Streamflows in many basins are already below 75% of normal,” Ecology wrote. “Forecasts for April through September have Chelan River streamflows at 52% of normal, while the Stehekin, Methow and Okanagan rivers are forecasted to have 59% of normal streamflows.”

    Guess it’s time to move to Everett, Seattle, Sea Tac, or Tacoma! They are in great shape!!

    I mean, unlike you, I don't hate America, so I hope BYD doesn't sell cars in the United States without a proper review from the WTO.

    I've got a Model S, it drives great, plenty fast, and a 10% to 80% charge takes about 15 minutes at a Supercharger. Charging at home means that I rarely have to think about range, but when I have to during a road trip, I hit about 400 miles.

    While I don't agree with your stance that Mao was actually a great guy or that America would be a much better nation had the Wobblies lynched Bill Boeing (again, your views, not mine), I do agree with you that the Cybertruck looks like garbage. Well, that one giant ass wiper blade, cheap interior, and carrot shaving edges. Looking forward to the company getting a new CEO one day soon.

    I do like my Starlink! Especially since cord number 4 still works and has not fried in over a year like the other 3 did. Suck it HughsNet!!!
