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
Surprise, surprise, heat is overachieving here, up to 87 already IMBY, which checks out due to the station near me right by the Chehalis River is at 85.
Trump is very wrong here.
He clearly never spent an hour with a serviceman that was injured. He didn’t hear their experience, their injuries, the love for country, or the having no regrets.
Until you look them in the eye (probably through their tears) then you just don’t get it.
My father was a veteran. He was one that could talk of his experiences and he gave me a window into a world I could not have imagined.
The first time I saw my Dad cry was regarding a close friend that died in a plane crash into the side of a mountain. Shot down
So, people that are insensitive simply have not been forced to confront the cold reality and sacrifice of a friend’s violent death in a conflict not of their making. It isn’t all parades and music
Trump needs to visit a Veteran hospital, stop talking, and …listen.
Not his forte’.
If this was Nov-Jan, I would lob off an arm for the Euro solution. Next weekend is a long weekend here in Canada, so I’m rooting for a ridge—even a weak one.
