We can still get cutoffs into mid June-just won't be 48-52, more like 55-57...

5.45 Duxbury. Most of state of massachusetts shellfish beds shut down . Luckily we harvested yesterday for mem day weekend business.

Don't have to worry about sunburn when you wear layers!

I’ll gladly where the sunscreen after watching my mom have a chunk taken out of her face and my dad out of his arm. It was painful and invasive. Weve truly gone off the rails in this country where people can’t wear sunscreen without it being a discussion

Better than a month away.

There are some that have questionable ingredients in them. But you can shop around and get some that might be more pasty on you...but can still use them and rub them in. Usually those are more organic...or kid friendly. The bottom line is that the sun has so much more risk than any sunscreen. I love the sun, but I put on block when I need to.

Summer looks at least a week away.

Why?

*peeks head out* Is it over? Is the cold rainstorm over with? Are we finally moving to summer?

Sunscreens in general are pretty bad. The better ones no one wants to use because you literally cover yourself in paste. But yeah, getting scorched for hours isn’t good either. Covering up or knowing when to get shade is best, but you can’t always do that…just gotta do what works best for you.

Yea, I'll pass on melanoma and leatherface.

You have another tournament?

You thought wrong my friend. It's not impossible, it just gets more and more unlikely.

Make America Healthy Again. Another dumb idea forwarded by our stupid admin. We should all get melanoma instead.

The return of the sun will be quite welcome

Yesterday's high temperature at East Nantmeal tied the Chester County record set 116 years ago for the chilliest high temperature for the date. That record of 52 degrees was set at both Coatesville and Phoenixville way back in 1909. Here in East Nantmeal we have received 1.33" of rain over the past 2 days we are now 0.31" above normal for rainfall here in 2025. We start to dry out today with only a small chance of some showers. We look to stay well below normal through Sunday before we moderate to about 5 degrees below normal by Memorial Day. Temperatures look likely to remain below normal for the next week. Our next shower chances arrive later on Tuesday.

What is MAHA?

Maybe but after only 1-2” SE NH/NE MA will be back to D0.

Agree. I don’t use it. ‘Twas a joke.

I've noticed there's not enough projection of the future of AI, and too much critique over the status of what it means now... ? Not you per se - but this statement of yours reminds me of it - so just using it to launch a bit here... The technology is primitive. As spectacular as it may or may not come across to the laity, if not dismissed by computer science oriented types who flippantly describing it as Google on steroids ... this isn't where this tech is going. Society needs awareness and practical imagination, most importantly ... preparedness. 18 months, that's so far been the leap of capacitance intervals. It may slow down ... but not likely. It is in fact more likely to speed up, because it breaks through ability thresholds - positive feedback. In general, this technology also comes along with a huge, huge feedback toward its own improvement potential, and these leaps of ability observed, stunning for just the last 4 years, certainly supports that argument. I wrote a missive about this above ... likely tl;dr for some, but the gist of it is ... there's almost no value in sitting back and limiting it's existence in any way, when the future of it has almost boundless, prevalent potential ... I mean, despite all humanity achievements and conceits, to date? Almost meaningless when we start triggering immortality, dimensional travel - yes these sci fi visions are no longer just imagined do to the synergistic advantage of future improvements lending so favorably toward discoveries we cannot at this time really quantify very well. We are coming out of the technological dark ages, really. We're standing at threshold of door way with so much bright light the shimmering gallery behind us is rendered almost black. So bright the glare drowns out anything specific on the other side - yet the light will draw us through, anyway. The ramifications there, they are utterly unknown. Wait until QC comes on line and these systems are then fused to its "god-like" access. Being whimsy with the language there but seriously, I don't think there's enough "practical imagination" in visualizing what that reality will be. Most folks are being skeptical if not dismissive, and I think that's a waste of time when/if being aware, no ... "being prepared" for the synergy between man and machine in this case, creating an arena where new discoveries are unknown to most, and so (likely) unguarded, because they were not anticipated, while popping up in multitude ... What is technological utopia, and does the darkness of human nature allow a non-competitive "state of provision"? Where none gain at the 'expense' of even equity living for all. That's sort of the Gene Roddenberry future... minus the enslaved robots - they will ( it is thought...) have no moral compunctions about their status, because they are merely very capable automatons doing the grunt word. While the future AI, after the dawn of seamless simulacra, does the rest... How will this effect an economy? How will human kind incentivize itself? There are no life-propelling systems in nature that do anything without fulfilling a reward circuitry drilled into primal satisfaction - we are enslaved to our evolutionary background. Which may be in conflict with doing anything merely for the virtuosity of it. And so, human nature will likely intervene. We are passing through an evolutionary stage. One that humanity may even be unwittingly causing.

So weekend looking iffy around the ATL area. Rained the last 2 weekends, and this one looking borderline again. Not a washout, but could definitely ruin some outdoor plans. Have a great holiday weekend everyone. Lets all remember what this weekend represents. We owe our freedom to all those who served.

That will be gone with next weeks update

All up from here. LFG

Kind of reminded me of April 1, 1997, too.
