Good summery week incoming. Glad the heat is on weekends

So we’ve established the Grinch effect is real. I wonder if data would suggest Mother Nature hates 4th of July for New Englanders…lol

I don’t know for sure but I think they don’t appreciate Redskins. But every individual is different

Eh. To change those names I’m not sure if it makes life much harder although I don’t work in that industry so I can’t determine that. Obviously those terms predate American slavery by a long time but why keep it? Are the replacement terms confusing? I have no idea.

The Romani people are Europe’s largest ethnic minority, and for more than five centuries they were enslaved in Romania, according to Smithsonianmagazine's Theresa Machemer. The Romani people have been “targets of enslavement, genocide, forced sterilization and migration, economic and social exclusion, and other manifestations of anti-Romani racism,” the Entomological Society of America (ESA) explains in its website, adding that the discrimination and racism still exists today in Europe. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Definitely getting thinner. I get it cut short as well so the Sun gets through.

I would have thought that 2020-2021 was going to be the toughest year since we were switching models every few weeks. I had something like 7 or 8 different configurations. 2021-2022 takes the cake though. Toughest in 22 years.

Enjoying a 7&7 watching the boats go by at Perkins Cove. Spectacular day today. Might have gotten a bit too much sun on my balding head

Beers have killed multiple brain cells in Tolland CT

The way some post on here about drought conditions you would think we would have tumbleweeds, cattle skeletons, and cacti everywhere. Some people might have to move a hose around. The humanity

We’ve always had bears in my town but they seemed to be in hiding mostly. Now I get almost daily videos and photos of individual bears and moms bears with cubs in town. Probably due to more cameras but I would not be surprised if the numbers were way up

Went with the Bissell Brothers. I’m sipping the Substance. Wife got Summer Rise.

I have had recent years when I didn’t break 90. But typically I get 1-3 days.

Usually a day or two above 90 per summer. Already had that in May. Lol. Upper 80s are somewhat common.

This has been an incredible (if not boring) month

Let’s see if I even reach 85F here

Yup. Thredex as well as others show that. Not sure who had the 1917 since that was below 100. That 1936 stretch was nuts

I guess I misheard the report. They did set the daily record for the high at least. 100F. They had hit 100 in May of 2018. Their all time record is from 1917. Jerry might recall that one

I think I read a report that this was their earliest 100F on record at Minneapolis St Paul

Pretty big heat in that area.

Lone Pine has several Holy Donut themed offerings

Dang. Austin St is closed Wednesday

A mod should unpin this thread and pin the summer banter one

That seems reasonable. The CTRV gets some heat. CEF tickles 90. Maybe 83-85 here.
