Met1985 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've got access to just about every movie and TV show ever made. Quite a few come from Russian servers but HD is HD. I asked my wife to name a TV show she thought wouldn't be there. To her credit, she named the worst show in the history of TV. From the good old 1960s, the unforgettable, My Mother the Car. Did a search and the whole first, and thankfully only, season was right there ready to stream. Watched the opening scene from the first episode just to confirm it was really there. All the Disney movies from Dumbo to Frozen. Grandkids love itwow very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Somebody needs to invent a better AC unit! If the best they can do is cool the outside air that comes into your house , through the condenser , is 20 degrees, that's pretty much useless on 100 degree days!

buckeyefan1 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can't remember the last time, if ever, I have experienced temps in the high 90s with dewpoints in the mid 70s.

I went out today and purchased "energy saving" blackout curtains for both living rooms, my bedroom and my son's bedroom, trying to help the a/c unit cool it down in here.

BFD.I'm looking at lower 60s Saturday night and possibly Sunday night and highs in the the mid 80s, that's 10-15 + , cooler than I've been in about the last 15 days, so , like Brick, it's kind of a big deal!

downeastnc Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Statistically speaking, it is very unusual to have that many attacks here in such a short time. Since 2000 NC has averaged 2.4 bites a year so we are 200% of our yearly average....but we have seen years with 5 attacks although I don't think they ever have been this close together.

I mean if I was going down to a NC beach anytime soon, I would keep all this sexiness out of the water, I like all my appendages, and if ankle deep is not safe, all bets are off !!

GaWx Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 ^I'd characterize as an unsually high number over such a short period but wouldn't go as far as saying it is a major statistical anomaly unless I could see the actual NC attack dates of the past. Is there a list somewhere? The water is warmer than normal. Is there a correlation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article says it could be because of more sea turtles. http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20150625/ARTICLES/150629832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
