Red Sox take game 1 against the Yankees. Sold out Fenway crowd, you love to see it. Pedroia deserved it. Great guy. Weird story, I literally hooked him up to the zipline at Stowe twice back then. His boys loved the rock gym. Was surprised he didn’t have a clause in his contract that didn’t allow risky activities with your hands. Zip lining maiming usually happens to hands that try to grab the cable to stop.

That's insane for those volcanoes at height. The glaciers are going to be running. Historic heat after prolonged above normal departures? Yikes. One of those events that absolutely contributes very directly to the melting of "permanent" snowfields. Glide cracks, hanging snowpack loosening from the rock below (that rock will warm efficiently in a record air mass), avalanches would be extremely large if they happen as the winter snowpack has melted back to the permanent areas. But jeez, what an air mass progged. The environmental impacts will be large.

Politics are weird (almost like a sport) but have you ever spent good time there? The population doesn’t riot unless a hockey team loses, there’s not this revolt mentality. To that end everyone is very nice and accepting. The citizens don’t get worked up over much, they just go about their lives. There’s a very clean and strong sense of upkeep in personal property, even in the countryside north of us in NNE. The difference between rural NY/VT/NH/ME and rural Quebec is interesting with less visible clutter outside, no cars on cinderblocks haha. Appearance matters to the population, like they are trying to please someone. I think it’s what happens with a very homogeneous population and a strong sense of trust with fellow citizens. You can see it in several northern tier nations across the globe too. Trustworthy, less conflict, and less conspiratorial. This isn’t a commentary on what’s better or worse, more interested in the deeper psychological reasons why. Anthropology line of thinking.

He’s wearing his mask wrong. Although now I know what I can do with our leftovers.

Nah our Republican Governor lifted that stuff a little while ago . Like Dendrite said, some head scratchers for towns in NH that kept mask mandates for a while in places you normally wouldn’t expect.

Yeah that makes sense. It was weird. Enfield had that country, rural vibe just off 89… couple gas stations that have seen better days with some 18-wheelers in the lot. Told my wife there is no way in hell this place is going to make you put on a mask, sure enough she comes back like wtf the Citgo dude over there asked me where my mask was, thought he was joking until I saw the signs still up .

80/51 Another beautiful chamber day.

Weirdly New Hampshire was the last places I had to wear a mask in mid-June. Stopped off I-89 near Whaleback a week ago when driving the wife to Boston and my wife went in, came back to the car while I was pumping gas and said they made her go get a mask (like gas station, Subway, etc). Credit card statement said Enfield, NH and they still had signs up for masks required but looked like a town declaration. But then on the way back up I stopped at a different town in SE NH nearby and they also had mask required signs up that also looked like another town requirement. Oddly enough two days ago we stopped at the same exact place after I picked her up and in that week’s time they had removed the mask mandate.

Fake cold making it chilly inside tonight. 56F at 750ft when it’s 64F at 1500ft. With WAA go coming in, the last vestiges of cool night air is going to be found along the river bottoms in NNE. We are going to roast.

North America en fuego. But that NW stuff takes the cake. A MOS output, skewed towards climo, is producing 3F higher than all-time values?

That’s summer life right there dude. Living the dream.

Brutal Sox loss. No hitter into the 8th. Pitching only allowed 2 hits and lost 1-0 in bottom of the 9th. The Yankees are going to steamroll us this weekend. The momentum is completely reversed from the first meeting.

What a stretch of Top 10 days this week. One more tomorrow before the dews and heat creep in over the weekend. By early next week it's time to pull up a chair in the river and just sit there for a few days.

Bermuda Blues behind it? He illustrated that well.

I dunno man, it looks pretty damn hot. Sure it gets hot in the summer but that’s a healthy stretch coming up.

Bingo. No one was ever swayed politically on a message board in the history of the internet. One of the many reasons politics was a hard no on here for so long, it’s just pointless.

Had to spin up to the Picnic Tables briefly. Another 10 out of 10 day. Nice to see normal summer activities again with families enjoying themselves. Almost a 40-degree diurnal swing in the valley so far. Going to be 80F even up top next week.

Put some relish on the hot dog roasting on the sidewalk next week? Won’t even need a grill.

Holy crap. WTF.

Heavy stuff right there. Glad you enjoyed the shot.

Ha thanks man. I do sell some but more word of mouth to second home owners around here. I’ve done many of the ski resort brochures, trail map covers, posters, etc over the years. But honestly shots like that one are just daily views from work with an iPhone11 after driving up a work road to check on something. Definitely feel lucky at times to just have that stuff in daily travels.

Impressive. 6 days at or above 70F would be something.

41F after yesterday’s 42F. A couple crisp mornings in a row before the heater coming up.

48F here an hour after you, ha. What did your station get this morning? It’s crisp outside.
