Same here. Nothing too impressive on radar but good for a couple house shakers.

When I heard the CDC was coming out with relaxed guidelines yesterday I was really hoping they'd say I can have my steak medium rare. Maybe some day

In CT or nationwide?

We have 7 or 8 ironwoods on the property and sprouts everywhere and they certainly burn magnificently. But we also have a slew of shagbark hickory and while they take longer to dry, they burn nearly just as well I think.

While I'd tend to agree, there is some debate on how much of the gains reflect a bubble vs super-secret inflation. The former, sure it pops. The latter seems here to stay a while. Maybe it's some of both.

Same thing in N TX and in many other places (except here in Burptown). It's out of control how much real estate has gone up. Sell now, rent a storage unit for your most valuable stuff, and live in a van down by the river til we correct.

Tried Leadfoot Brewery in Chicopee this evening. The Summer beer, which is like a Belgian White/ Hefeweizen was outstanding. Not normally what I'd drink except on a hot night, but glad I did. IPAs decent, and I had a soft spot for the British Pub Ale for what it is.

Doubtful. But I never got to 101.6. Of course my 99-101 fever lasted 4+ days.

This was what prompted the warning...

Worst since 7/22/11?

Some nickel sized hail being reported in Hood county en route to Tarrant. Apparently the balloon data showed weak winds aloft so they're saying expect disorganization til later on

Balloon up now, but earlier FWD was saying an aircraft sampled lapse rates at 9C/km

They really should go to a system where a regulation win is worth 3 points and an OT win is worth 2, OT loss 1

Big box stores, chain restaurants, and walmarts aren't on my travel itinerary so I'll have to take your word for it. But in those places that are, many without requirements, folks are still very often wearing them. Be it courtesy, fear, conditioning, or uncertainty about the policy... Likely all factor into individual decisions.

did you notice any antipathy toward non mask wearers in Asia?

I presume it's because the staff are unionized and the union will likely fight mandates of this nature.

Maybe an event where the dryline progresses a certain amount on Tuesday and then sloshes back west overnight before pushing through on Weds? Or the more common discrete (and conditional) early to linear overnight. Either way looks potent.

The email said "on the basis of expected additional state, federal and legal guidance " I think that means current legal precedent wouldn't allow for it, as you mention.

By the way I never advocated against the vaccine but I need some evidence it's worth the risk. If one hasn't had covid I think it is worth it. But if you've had covid I see nothing scientific to support getting it yet.

My personal dietary habits that you have no clue about aside, should one not also be worried about these things in food?

On the way to Keene, West LA (Lower Ashuelot) Brewery isn't much to look at but the beer is good.

For what it's worth I've been in the DFW area all week and even without mask requirements for quite a while now, the vast majority of folks are wearing them inside retail stores, entering/exiting restaurants and coffee shops, inside hotel lobbies and businesses, universities, etc. Only when you get far afield of the populated areas do you see masks disappearing. So even if the requirement goes away the masks will probably remain.

I think you could make the case that a hesitance to ingest unknown substances is biologically defensible.

Admittedly I'm a little sensitive to that kind of criticism because I know how hard it is to make an intuitive user interface with all sorts of options and limited number of controls, especially for the general public where you can't expect them to read a complex manual, and also given that many/most(?) visits are from mobile devices these days. The fact is that assuming Tip actually did try to use the site, if he couldn't figure out how to change the map view the developer does have to take a hit for that. Happens to me all the time, much as I think things should be clear they sometimes aren't. There really is an art to it and you need to bring in people with many backgrounds to see if your vision doesn't have built in assumptions. Anyway I stand by the opinion that Levi does a great job... Just the fact so many are aware of his site is testament, and he has come up with a lot of innovative products and features. And of course knows his tropical meteorology as well as anybody. /rant
