It’s not on the books but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Perfection this evening too. Nice to get a stretch of nice porch evenings during the weekend for those that are still doing the weekday grind.

I’m heading to Spain for three weeks culminating with the eclipse in Mallorca. It’s going to be 100+ for the first week but I’m looking forward to a real feel less than actual temps.

And possibly less injured arms. I feel like Albernaz has mismanaged the pitching staff all year, but I don’t care anymore. He might end up being a good manager, but I still think the front office goofed going with an unproven guy with this team.

I saw one sitting here on the porch, and that made me think of it, but I haven’t heard any. I blame the lantern flies.

By the way, where are all the annual cicadas??? I haven’t heard any this year.

Whiskey on the porch here!

Can we finally put any talk of the O’s being buyers to rest?

Picked up 0.89” here, which isn’t as much as I thought. I was in the city last night and they definitely got more.

It seems that I got lucky yesterday compared to nearly CoCoRaHS stations, and ended up with .77” from early and afternoon storms. The two closest stations to my east got about half that. I also didn’t expect to still smell smoke today.

Make sure you check for ticks!

Nice thunderstorm this morning. 0.42”

It still looks smoky, and the purple air numbers are still solidly high, but on my walk this evening, all I smell is weed. Kind of normal.

Just went outside for the first time since about 3pm and I can definitely smell the smoke.

Does altitude play a role in smokiness? Specifically, are higher altitudes at a higher risk?
