Hey now, don’t be messing with my buddy Sam. I love Summer more as I get older, but now til Jan 1 is my favorite time of year. The sky has been hazy here in Upstate NY as the smoke makes its way here. The sun has been a remarkable orange color as it comes up in the morning. Too bad the cause is so catastrophic.
Woke up to 45 degrees here in northern VA this morning and the forecasted highs over the next few days in the mid 70s. I'm ok with that. Fall has always been my favorite season and while I enjoy winter, I'm happy when temps start warming up again. Summer heat and humidity are not my thing.
Derek Jeter's Tampa home is on the market. I don't there is a person on this board that could afford that house even if it was gifted to them. Just the monthly property taxes and home insurance are staggering. But hey, the HOA is only $4 a month, so there's that. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/58-Bahama-Cir-Tampa-FL-33606/45110833_zpid/
Yep, we're starting to see it here in London, ON, as well... there's a new cold front coming in that will push it down in the next couple of days, but yeah, it's across country. https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/
I'm surprised you guys are already getting some smoke. We have a lot of it here but I would have thought it would dissipate more as it traveled. I guess wind currents catch it and move it in a column. We are still right at or under 300aqi. The weather was suddenly beautiful and cooler right at Labor Day and then all this fire shit happened. From covid... to fires with smoke... to a covid scare with el hubs that has us avoiding each other, this year has been more and more isolating.
It's not like it's thick enough that we're chewing air or anything, but it's definitely making for some incredible sunsets and general overcast conditions.
We’re seeing the smoke here in New Jersey and New York. The sky is hazy and the sunlight has this weird diffuse quality thats just a bit off. It’s almost like the early stages of an eclipse. But the sunsets are spectacular.
We’re getting the smoke here in Prince Edward Island, the sunrise over the water this morning was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen
We are going to run out of hurricane names. Football tonight is the Bengals vs. the Browns. My pizza is cold. God damn it. At least Archer is back.
Teddy is headed my way after Paulette passed directly over us on Monday. Bermuda is a pretty good place to be if you have to get hit by a hurricane, it’s pretty safe here.
I suggested to NOAA that we start naming hurricanes by combining curse words and breakfast foods. It was denied, but oh what fun I would have preparing for and responding to Hurricane Cock Waffles, Hurricane Frosted Fuck Flakes or Tropical Storm Shit Biscuit. In other news, I have worked my LAST 12 hour shift for Hurricane Laura as of yesterday. The next two weeks are anxiously awaiting the next shit show, which in 2020 is like playing Russian Roulette with an RPG set to a timer. I also mistakenly took a female coworker young enough to be on her dad's insurance to Twin Peaks, having absolutely no clue it was a breastaraunt. Every third person working there was pregnant, so the hostess was dressed in black and normal. I said "to go food" and she looked at me like I was asking "how does one fuck a blender, exactly, madam?" and then gestured to the bar. I was three feet in before I saw the get up and realized what "Twin Peaks" meant. God damn it. Legit never heard of the place before. Let me tell you, in Louisiana, that was a culturally enriching experience. This shit still exists in 2020? Like....why? Who's able to watch midget fart fist porn on their phone at church, yet can't summon the courage to go to an actual strip club? What middle school boys can't find Pornhub now?
I’ve always maintained that if we gave hurricanes more menacing sounding names people would get out of the way. No one wants to get fucked up by Hurricane Throbbing Thunder Cock. Tropical Storm Fire Fuck On the horizon? I don’t care how strong the winds are supposed to be, I’m gonna gtfo
Ah, Twin Peaks. I’ve never been there but had the distinct pleasure of training a woman who had worked at one before coming to the breakfast restaurant I was running. She was cute but had literally no concept of how a restaurant really works. All she had to to at Twin Peaks was look cute and take orders. Someone else ran her food and bussed for her. Not so at our place. She lasted a week and a half before she asked to leave early one day because she broke a nail. I told her to not come back.
