Mrs.J

Man I miss that guy! No fights though in that episode. They must have sent all the problem folks outside.

Because Waffle House is trending on Twitter.

*drool*

After a hiatus of baking due to the nasty tropical weather we have had, these clouds and rain have me in the mood. Working on Roasted Tomatillo garlic salsa and spices oatmeal apple bars.

Currently under a nice slow rain. Not a huge amount in the gauge, only 0.03" so far but at this point I will take it.

Could have joined you with some shrimp and grits and fried okra.

Just stepped out on the deck after seeing that there appears to be a haze in the field behind my house. That haze is almost like a fog as the humidity here is 87%. Gross out!

Ended up with .73” over here. And the wind was up from the storm that I was under and the one to my south pushing out north.

Well recipe change. We are out of milk and Mr. J wants to wait for our milk delivery tomorrow. Makes sense he likes to limit interactions out in the stores. So making Pork Souvlaki with Lebanese potato salad.

What are you making?

Going to be a Shrimp and Grits night. With extra special side of fried okra.

As a parent I watched the BOE meeting on the decision for FCPS. While there was a vote for all online learning, there are teachers who are volunteering to come into the buildings for very small face to face sessions. And from what I understand that is what most MD systems are doing. Special Ed, ELL, those without reliable internet and at risk youth will have the opportunity for in school time. Just had a questioner from my girls HS this week where one of the questions was asking if your child was considered for in school time if you felt comfortable with that. These are the behind the scenes decisions that are taking place. They are also going to have the buildings open as some teachers have asked to teach out of their classrooms. No one decision is a good one. But they are working as hard as they can to accommodate every student and option. One other interesting thing I learned from our BOE meeting was out of a district with 42,000 students the number of students who did not log in this past spring for various reasons was around 800. They have said they are working to identify those students and find out why they could not or chose not to log in. And if need be those students would be added to the list of small groups to bring in.

Ok so anyone else suffering sinus wise with this humid warm day after day weather we have had?

Did not last long. But watching that cell over Leesburg. It has got to be insane there. Have friends just south of Lovettsville just outside of the flash flood warning getting dumped on.

Ok so filled in pouring over here now.

I have storms all around me barely moving.

Sky over here tonight

Saw a view of it from in the city. You could see the blowout rolling through and debris coming in like a wave.

Going to keep my obs in this thread as we are not fully in the brunt of this storm over here, and don't want to get my obs in the way of more serious obs. Currently 1.02" IMBY station. Occasional light winds. Current other stats are 69/96/68 Pressure is 29.00 and falling.

Getting a lot of flashes off of those storms well to my North in PA down here in Frederick.

Should see who has the least rain so far from this. 0.12” since midnight for me.

Looks like the south gets it again. At this point up here I will be totally surprised if we actually get anything.

At a lesson with the youngest Miss J. It is absolutely nasty out. Even under cloud cover I feel like I did not even shower today.

Serious question where do you go to the bathroom on your trip down? That is another concern for us. After having two kids the sizes of watermelons my bladder is not what it used to be. Heck even this morning while waiting in the car for my youngest daughters Ortho appt, which they do not allow parents in, I almost peed my pants. Got home and it was all I could do to make it into the bathroom. I was seriously so close to going in a cup in my car. The idea of an 11 hr car trip with no access to bathrooms is enough to keep me at home.

We had wanted to plan a trip to the N. GA mountains the beg of August. My IL's have a mountain house. So would be somewhat secluded. With the numbers going up in GA and me being immune compromised we decided to not chance it. IL's were disappointed but the decision had to be made. We will not be going anywhere anytime soon as all of my immediate and extended family live in GA and FL with one in OH.
