Well it’s been anything but coc with the cold and wet. Once the heat breaks it should be 70s+ still which I can live with

Looks like it’s clear at BOS. Let the fun begin but what a pre paid price!

Yesterday was an overcast day here in Chicago but it cleared after dark and today promises to be the beginning of the climb up to heat. But even with an overcast day it was hovering around 70 yesterday afternoon which will likely happen in sne as well I would think.

Cheer up everyone! Back to shorts and tee in Chicago. Still a tick or 2 south of 70 but it’s warm enough. Heat on the way

It’s over. But the mask thing dies hard. Stores here in Chicago have signs that say masks optional if you’re vaccinated but still nearly 100% masks indoors and nearly 100% maskless outside. I walked into a Starbucks maskless the other day and decided to ask the lady at the counter what would make her comfortable. She said you’re fine without a mask. My SIL is masked and frightened. She asked me if I was worried. I said I’m following the science. She said what about those deaths in bum****? My response was she was more likely going to die from an accident on the drive over...and that’s the truth among vaccinated people. Still, I encourage people to work with their personal comfort level. We’ll know soon enough as we open wide across the country.

Growing warm to hot and humid signal by next weekend.

I’m an idiot. I forgot to fold up umbrella before leaving Boston a week ago. Damn!

Sunny in Chicago-coolish but rapidly warming. It’s coming folks.

I’m your weather a day before. Yesterday gorgeous. Today cold and raw. Tomorrow unspeakable but much nicer Saturday. Chicago

So sad! We are a relatively small community and loss of James is a hard blow! This winter will not be the same...just terrible terrible news today.

The guy in the background is James friend who joined us. Sad day and winter will not be the same without him.

It’s far from a first.

Over on banter thread is the awful sad news of James’s passing..

Just awful news about James! We met him at a GTG a few years ago. Way too short of a life.

No!

Stayed in Cleveland last night and the place was packed. Stayed at the same location in November and we may have been the only people there. Normalcy is overrunning covid.

Not me-give me near death as I treat 100+ like it’s nothing-because it’s there. Yesterday it was warm until I got to Buffalo and the lake trajectory dropped 10 degrees which quickly recovered as the angle changed. Hot day (for this early) today in OH.

Warm in the Midwest. I get to avoid the worst of the Monday chill and hopefully next weekend as well. Gloriously summery now!

Sad stories about losing pets. Our Golden is 13 and we’re hoping she survives until we return from our traveling to Chicago (again). Wife flew out there this morning. I’ll start driving tomorrow. Our cats lived long (16 and 20) but 13 is very old for a golden retriever. She eats better than we do to hopefully keep her going.

Got em. Would rather cool and not hear mowers and blowers at 7AM. How about our man Kluber!

Corey Kluber no hits the Rangers!

Kluber 1 out away!

Bedroom is in full sun during the day-it gets hot from about now through August.
