I last played golf about 20 years ago. I played a round at St. Andrews that day with some local kids from the university. They were all good, I was not. By the 15th hole, to be able to finish the round I had to buy some balls from some local kids who were fishing them out of a pond. I had lost all the others into the gorse, the ocean, or who knows where. I wonderful experience nonetheless.

Dendrite - hopefully this article is about no one you know. https://www.wcax.com/2022/08/03/police-investigating-3-suspicious-deaths-new-hampshire/ NORTHFIELD, N.H. (WCAX) - Authorities in New Hampshire are investigating the deaths of three people, two of them children. We have very few details at this time, but we know it happened at a residence in Northfield, New Hampshire, and it involves an adult woman and two juveniles. Police are calling their deaths suspicious.

Just got a nice cut on my chin. Is it a cool story that I can tell if anyone ever asks me "how did you get that scar?" No! I was moving the frame for a day bed that we recently picked up. While I was moving the trundle portion I somehow triggered the release which springs the trundle out. It was vertical at the time so an iron bar on the frame was a couple of inches from my face. Boom. I have no idea how I still have all my teeth. So how did you get that third concussion? Sports? bear attack? break up a theft? nope- trundle bed attacked me in my garage.

Duran explained he lost sight of the ball in the Aurora last night.

I hadn't come across them before. We have gotten things from Evergreen Gardens in Waterbury/Stowe and East Hill Farm in Plainfield in that general area.

And until 2015 London had never hit 98 in July: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/22/uk/heatwave-july-records-uk-intl-scli/index.html

raining here last night, so no

Not as fat but the bear at the Mount Washington Hotel remains my favorite bear photo:

I just checked a bunch of wunderground sites in the UK. I found a number of stations in the 100 to 102 range. This one is the hottest I found: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ILONDO321 It shows a high so far of 105.4. Others I have seen pushing 103: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IOXFORDS33 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IHUNTI10 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ILEOMI3

great idea

BTV about Thursday, bolded bit caught my eye: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 The main focus of the long term period remains for Thursday. All ensemble data suggests potential for impactful weather, including thunderstorms capable of torrential rainfall and possibly damaging wind. The low pressure system passing to our northwest looks to be the deepest to pass over this region during the 1979 to 2009 climatology for the July 11 - August 1 period, which suggests very large height falls that will steepen lapse rates and produce widespread thunderstorms that could tap into strong winds aloft. On Thursday afternoon, heavy rain potential is shown through PWATs in excess of 2 standard deviations above the climatological mean, MUCAPE in excess of 500 J/kg. The deepest moisture looks to push to our east ahead of the actual cold front, when potential for organized thunderstorms should peak. Probabilities of moderate (1000 J/kg) to high SBCAPE (> 2000 J/kg) are greatest in Vermont based on the most likely timing of the cold front. At the same time, the pressure gradient over the region and uniform southwesterly flow will produce impressive winds in the St. Lawrence Valley where the channeling supports enhanced non-thunderstorm gusts potentially in the 30 to 40 MPH range during the afternoon.

I was in London early July 2015 when it topped 98 for the first time. Little in the way AC. We went to the airport to scout out the plan on how to get there the next day and in no way to cool off.

It rains most years on Dec 23 or 24.

It was upper 40s here this morning. The windows open over night meant I broke out a fleece and a ski cap at breakfast this morning.

Years ago when the Sox were considering moving into a new facility and the Expos were leaving Montreal, I thought a reasonable solution would be to move the Expos to Boston and have them play in Fenway while the Sox move into larger state-of-art facility. Expos likely would not have carved away too much of the Sox fanbase and still draw better than they did up north.

KLEB also 93 for the 2nd day in a row.

Maybe sooner per Burlington AFD (love when they add humor): https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 Models are coming into much better agreement as we head into the weekend with a deep upper level low diving south across the northeastern US. Did someone say June snow? Just kidding but it does appear we could see 850 mb temperatures drop to 1-2 degrees C at the higher summits yielding a few cold rain showers. The weekend appears to be highlighted by well below normal temperatures with highs likely struggling to reach 70 degrees even in the deeper valleys. By Monday, the forecast is really up in the air as it looks like an omega block will develop with good upstream blocking across the northern Atlantic. This will likely favor us remaining entrenched in the upper level low with below normal temperatures continuing into the first half of next week.

Has Stein ever posted on this forum? If not, how did the obsession with his Tweets develop?

Yay! It looks like it rained at home. Based on the nearby stations, we look to have gotten around a third of an inch!

Same here. We only got a couple of drops, not enough to wet the ground.

hearing rumbles up the valley. Here's hoping we get some rain,. It has been sunny most of the day until the past few minute, mid- 70s and humid.

Some great sunsets can be seen from Race Point and, even more so, Herring Cove Beach (closer to town). Have a wonderful trip and congratulaitons.

Q of the day: Who is more obsessed- Epstein about drought or AmWX about Epstein?
