Mie scattering in San Francisco Bay?

Ya' about 3 songs in he said "fuk this, it's too hot and humid.'

Bill Ward not afraid to take his shirt off for the show, awesome lol

Geezer and Tony Iommi were amazing at that show.

nailed the temperature on Christmas morning with that

I remember last year's Perseids was spectacular as the moon wasn't an issue, but you're right that it's annoying that the full moon often messes up meteor showers. Too bad it's gonna be a big problem for this year's Perseids. But as I mentioned, the moon isn't going to be much of an issue for the Geminids in December. The Perseids and Geminids are the 2 big meteor showers, so at least one of them will be spectacular as long as clouds aren't a problem for the December shower.

I was surprised at how well he performed and by the time Sabbath was playing Paranoid, they were absolutely rolling. Geezer was wailing and even Bill Ward was holding his own.

soon enough, hopefully three months of that Dec-Feb

Over 400 miles in 6 minutes. Impressive.

King Tutt?

I think it was 86 for a high but felt hotter. Even with low dewpoint. My car said 90 after i got rolling, too. Maybe have a head cold which makes my eyes wince when i go outside, though.

Numerous eye witnesses expressed that the strongest winds occurred with the heaviest downpour. Damage was variable in the downburst area with a general southeast fall direction to the trees being observed. There where two distinct pockets of damage that took hundreds of trees down, to include pine, oak and maple. Trees where both uprooted and snapped. In addition, hundreds of other trees where downed on the edges of the damage area, but damage was more sporadic in nature. Some structral damage did occur, but was mostly confined to sheds and shelter structures. A few vehicles were also damaged due to trees falling on them. Additional damage was likely further in the woods, but was not accessible for the damage survey. An estimated 500 trees were either snapped or blown down in the damage area.

That’s where my sister lives. My favorite area in the Alps. Sud Tyrol (Alto Adige) is a bit more upscale but there’s something more authentic about the Aosta Valley - and I love the stone and wood architecture. So scenic. Every year that we go back we lean more and more towards the Alps and less toward the coast. The Italian coastline is gorgeous but sooooo crowded it’s become unpleasant unless you go off season.

Sounds glorious! We’ve been there almost every weekend this summer hosting friends/family. Back this weekend and of course unsettled on Saturday/Sunday after sunny during the week. This past Saturday actually turned out nice after overcast/showers in the morning.

Going to the Sox v Phillies game tmrw - where should I get food in CBP?

love the classic "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" stage backing Remember watching this as a kid, like WHOA 300,000 people...takes a lot of cajones to even attempt this unless you're a pro. And only play to the front audience, not the back, unless you're amazing

What an amazing way to go out! That day was a fitting tribute to a hard rock icon.

The present satellite loop over the panhandle of TX looks and behaves remarkably similar to a TUTT

48.7 this AM....all just a dream soon enough-

Cedar Rapids hit a dew point temp of 81º this afternoon.

I had no rain during the daytime, but I’ve had light rain falling the last couple of hours along with some mainly CTC lightning/rumbling thunder. Total rainfall for today has been only ~0.05”.

All this rain we've had over the last 6 weeks or so and the UFO landing pa... I mean Pixie rings are every where, and I mean everywhere. More than one would usually see around here. If I start hearing crickets chirping Irish jigs I'm gonna start drinking again lol

I have had less than an inch the past 10 days. Most of the rain has been to my NW

I drove through Monterey a few days later. Amazing to see acres upon acres of trees snapped like matchsticks about 15' off the ground.
