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
I was really impressed by him last summer. I watched a Breakfast Club interview and quite a few others he did around that time and thought I might end up voting for him in the primaries. I loved his sledgehammer approach to the federal government and thought many of his positions were fairly common sense. I also liked his suggestion of high schoolers being required to take the same civics test that new immigrants have to take. Might teach some more history and pride of our country into young people, the latter of which is seemingly sorely lacking among that group.
But then the debates happened, especially the first one, and it completely turned me off on him. He came across like petulant child. The Republican Party already has one of those, we don't need another. Maybe in 2028 after he can fine tune his persona and be more comfortable in the political arena without the need to be a smarmy little know-it-all.
