Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
In May the jet steam really slackens giving us 500mb patterns we would pay $ to have Nov-Feb. I remember really wet Mays and Junes in southern BC due to this pattern. It’s the norm this time of year. When the jet steam becomes more seasonably zonal, times of blocking are the anomaly.
Did you read the article I linked?
Also, quote from John Adams -
The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God
And the Declaration of Independence itself
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
But recently Politico said the idea of rights coming from God and not the government is Christian nationalism and to believe such a thing is a threat to our democracy.
I was going to name one of my twins Abiqua after the local creek, but my ex wife pushed back at the last minute and she ended up named Abbi, but I call her Abiqua, which she hates.
