  1. In the 60’s and 70’s the CIA classified cooperative farms, unions and public libraries warning signs of socialism spreading in Central America. The specter of the “communist threat” has been used as fear porn for decades in the US and most of the sheep bought into it hook line and sinker. It paved the way for the US installing brutal dictatorships in much of Central America. I’m sure that shit is all sanitized in the “approved” high school history books.
  2. yikes, consumer prices jumped 5% in May alone. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/10/cpi-may-2021.html
  3. Buying a little bitcoin on the dip this morning worked out for me.
  4. Clouds on Saturday and today kept us from getting to 90 but I guess there’s still time this afternoon.
  5. That’s a good point, can you imagine the fear porn, media feeding frenzy that would catalyze in 2021?
  6. Yeah, NW MA has been porked so far wrt rain.
  7. I did say “getting towards the heart of summer“ peak sun certainly
  8. The question is will it be sustained or short burst? That period is getting towards the heart of summer so heat is not surprising.
  9. The cell over the Hadley Amherst area just won’t quit. I waited for about 20 minutes then I just turned around and went back to Northampton where it’s blue skies. Route 9 in Hadley was starting to flood out.
  10. Absolute monsoon in Hadley right now.
  11. Yeah, this morning was the most unpleasant morning so far. We bottomed out at 70.
  12. A massive, crippling cyberattack is only a matter of time at this point. Imagine the panic if people all of a sudden couldn’t use credit cards or access their money with ATMs.
  13. Missed here, Saturday only got to 88. 90 and 92 Sunday and today.
  14. Only hit 92° today. Down to 82° now. A little underwhelming considering there was a heat advisory an 97° was forecast. Mid afternoon was pretty muggy though with DP’s in the mid-60s.
  15. I'll just leave this here for baseball fans wondering about the spectacular pitching performances this year. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/06/04/sticky-stuff-is-the-new-steroids-daily-cover?utm_source=pocket-newtab
  16. Early dismissal in Greenfield. No a/c plus masks is no bueno for the kids or teachers.
  17. The valley is going to roast tomorrow.
  18. 82/57 here. Already feeling pretty toasty.
  19. Hi of 85° here today. Perfect summer day. Greenfield has a pretty awesome town swimming area. Section of the green river with a damn to regulate water levels.
  20. Pretty damn dry here. Plants a bit droopy.
  21. He was almost acting like a dog that wanted to come closer and get petted.
  22. Lol, just had a black bear walk within about 20 feet of me. I didn’t want to get him worked up so I just clapped my hands and pointed and said “go home” and after curiously staring at me for a bit he turned around and waddled off.
  23. I’m sure the official report will come out saying it is Russian or Chinese technology and we need to double our military budget to counter it. With big fat contracts going to the usual suspects. Meanwhile food insecurity grows every year in the United States.
