April 2024 Weather in the PNW
It’s not as short as it looks in the picture lol. The way the house is most of the house is built to the right of the driveway and then there’s the garage on the first floor and then on the second floor is the master bedroom on the left side. I added a photo in case that doesn’t make sense with the driveway being the scribbled area. -

Polite Politics
I watched every second of the video below: I think it goes without saying that I am not religious. I think it goes without saying that I am not a fan of Tucker Carlson. Even though I am very familiar with the history of Israel and a lot of the Middle East, I am always looking to learn more. I watched this expecting to roll my eyes, cause it's Tucker, FFS! This was outstanding! Gotta hand to to Tucker. He shut up and listened. He went ahead and invited a guest who would say things that would anger a lot of people in America. He then posted it for his fans to see. And based on his YouTube comments, this video was rather eye opening for many. That takes guts. Major respect! I still hate him though. I am only posting this here because, even though it pertains to Israel and Gaza, it has a lot to do with American politics and the selective practicing of Christianity in America. Even though religion does not interest me in the slightest as far as practicing it, I find the politics surrounding it fascinating since it feeds into and can exploit the primitive tribalistic parts of our brains. As such, I have always been curious as to why news coming out of the Middle East almost always seems to pertain to the Jews and Muslims and almost never the Christians. Since Jerusalem and Bethlehem are such important places in Christianity, why does there not appear to be any Christian interest in having any meaningful interest in maintaining any sense of order there? (Aside from the Rapture nonsense in which most Jews will die anyway, so Israel must be a Jewish state to get the party started, so who cares about them, right?) I am fairly confident that there are many on this board who are either passive or practicing Christians. Some of you have been pretty outspoken (looking at you, @Anti Marine Layer). I am curious about your knowledge of Christians in Israel and Gaza historically and currently. - Would you be surprised to learn that thousands were pushed out of their homes in the establishment of Israel in 1948. The Nakba was not just about Muslims. - Would you be surprised to learn that many Christians living there view Israel as an apartheid state? - Would you be surprised to learn that those Christians living in Gaza are starving to death and are not allowed to leave unless given permission because they are viewed as Palestinians instead of Christians? - Would you be surprised to learn that the pastor in this video calls the occupation of Gaza a genocide? - Would you be surprised to learn that Palestinian Christians living in the West Bank also have their homes bulldozed and settlements built in their place? - The IDF sniped two elderly churchgoers and shot at those attempting to help them? Think I am full of it and an "Anti-Semite?" Then I dare you to watch the video. All of it. You might learn a thing or ten. Sooooo, why do no prominent Christians in American politics seem to care about the plight of the Christians living in and around Israel? (Aside from we want Rapture and we want it now!) This is not about Judaism, Islam, or Christianity. This is the bastardization of Judaism turned into a nationalistic supremacy movement. When the Christians and Muslims are being driven out, what else do you call it? Andrew, I know you will read this. I have absolutely no ill will toward Jews whatsoever. They are just like everyone else. The ones who want Israel to keep it's current course; however, can go straight to Hell.

EPS agrees that this round of deep 500mb troughing might be running its course soon. -

00Z ECMWF provides some hope for a pattern change starting in about 6 days. Seems like it would be due at that point from a 500mb perspective. -

Hey Chris... I said it was drier than normal. Thanks for confirming. The discussion started with trees spring growth being stunted right now due to dryness. Not debating rainfall stats. Let's see what happens when we have some warmer than normal temps again. And that was an off the rails post last night. It's the truth. Sorry to disappoint you but the truth is the truth. And I won't be changing. Not doing anything wrong.
