We're just getting all kinds of crazy extremes much more now and my nose isn't happy. I put my heat at 80 today and it all went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the only name that keeps getting recycled? I wonder why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America's greatest team, America's greatest name, playing in America's pretty goodest city, Baltimore. it's frankly disgusting that anyone anywhere follows any team besides the Baltimore Orioles. i mean, the Mets? what kind of person follows the Mets? it's sick. someone should do something. Good evening Will. I see you as a motivator that doesn’t just stir the pot but vaporizes it. As far as the Oriole question...... if Forky fails to respond I’ll be disappointed. As always ....

I couldn't understand why my family hated the Yankees...loosing 6 of seven world series to the Yankees can do that...good thing I was to young to understand that because I still hate Dallas for beating the Giants in the runner up bowl in 1965...back then you could be a fan of both NY teams because they did not play each other... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Since the dry period began last spring it seems that it just wants to be dry rather than wet. Other than a few weeks this winter and a short stint here and there it's tough to meet expectations for rain events. It's dry out there and this current event looks to me like it may end up with pretty moderate totals (unless you get under a good t-storm), like so many before it, that don't help to bring back the soil moisture levels. If you're on a well like me you may want to consider water intensive projects now rather than waiting, if we do go dry like late last summer you may not have the water resources to draw from. I think I'll do some power washing while it's raining the next few days so I don't have to use as much water to rinse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a lot of rain and low humidity levels has been great in keeping my allergies down. Maybe we'll finally hit 100 here if it's dry enough. I miss those summers. This is the first spring I can remember in years when I didn't have to take any allergy medication. I think the last time this was the case was when my dad was alive, which would be 2014.

SRRTA22 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 1 hour ago, LibertyBell said: Could you imagine if we ever had a giant asteroid or comet come in at a low angle, instead of a perpendicular one, where we didn't know if it would actually crash or just cut through our atmosphere? A large one just cutting through our atmosphere would cause severe effects but the uncertainty of not knowing whether it would hit land or just barely skim by would be enough to start a panic.- especially if it passed by at a low angle over a large continent. Chances of that are probably extremely low in our lifetimes, but who really knows. I think all the large and even moderate sized ones have been mapped though and none are in a position to come near us for the next 100 years at least. Bringing this to banter. A substantial size asteroid hit Russia back in like 2013... The fact of the matter is...theres ALOT of rocks, that can hit us undetected...Jupiter has been our saving grace for so long its not even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that hit Siberia came from the opposite direction and was shielded by the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
