mappy

fine by me, the pool is our saving grace this summer. longer it stays open and warm, the better our sanity.

thats some shade against waterboy

that is really sad, he was a great inspiration. i hope he finds peace.

i am almost positive it was one. mr map questioned me if it was one of those impostor butterflies, but pretty sure it was a monarch. haven't seen any caterpillars

spent the first half of the day staking out silt fencing for a site in Baltimore. Was nice to get out of the house for a few hours and see the wonderful industrial park that is the port of baltimore area.

OMG that was so good. i cant believe people actually fell for it

Shoot me a pm with your info. I’ll pass it along to mr map and let him know you’re a trusted weather weenie lol

Yeah we need a new electrician too. Have never been able to find a decent one up here that we like enough to call back lol

Thank you to those ITT who have been prudent following trips and going to get tested and stay away from others for a bit. we need more people like you!

Os game tonight is cancelled, Marlins dealing with a covid-outbreak

I saw a monarch out in the garden over the weekend, was going to town on our Mexican sunflowers

sorry to hear, feel better and hope symptoms stay mild!

got clipped by a storm around 730 that dropped out of PA but missed me east. Nothing else otherwise.

hi friend! hope you are well too -- doing our best here!

keep talking dirty

i believe i read the same. they didn't change it for any set of people though, they did it because they were losing money. thats all that matters... the money. sigh.

thanks for your insight and views, PSU. to be fair, teaching kindergarteners isn't hard. while virtual learning sucks as a whole, we had a rather simple time teaching first grade stuff. on to second now for the fall. Phineas has a point that for some, its an easy decision. My family is incredibly lucky, and I have said it many times, as we can both work from home without issue. haven't missed paychecks, bills are getting paid. however, i have the empathy to feel for others, so while virtual learning won't be horrible for us, it will be for many others and both county and state governments need to step in and help with the load. i know a lot has been done since spring to now, but there will still be problems. and there is no easy decision, unless you go the homeschooling altogether route, as many are. One of my nearest and dearest friends will be without a job because school is going virtual. she works with special needs kids and without in-class time, she cannot do anything to help them virtually and the county will no longer pay her. the county has their own special-needs plan in place that eliminates her position all together. it sucks all around, for many. But yes, to each their own. Everyone's level of risk is different, they know what's best for their family and will plan for that.

yassss more rain please!

Oh yeah, I get it. Just think its stupid. I just keep telling myself this isn't forever. And while it sucks now, this too shall pass.

IMO thats stupid. who gives a shit what the media may say, do what is best for the county based on the numbers. not on the majority of other counties. so dumb.

have you sat in on any carroll county board of ed calls? they haven't made a decision yet, have they? each county can do what they want, per yesterdays Hogan presser. So, its possible you could still get a hybrid version to start the year.

1.4” so far today. Still raining

Very! Now I can say 1.1” total today. Absolute downpour for 20 min now

Nope. I’m dumb. 1.1” includes yesterday. 0.65” for today so far

1.1” so far, house rocking thunder, more to come. Power is back, for now! congrats southerners! Looks awesome going into DC
