H2O

I'm ok. I do learn well and that helps avoid having to be sternly talked to.

If it comes across as self serving, my apologies. The intent is to show that change is possible and that it takes time to erase the old way of thinking. My hope is that my kids, other kids will be given the chance to see everyone equally. And THEN the world can really be the better place we all want it to be.

I've told this story(or maybe I haven't) before but it feels more important now than before. My dad was a racist. Said awful things about all minorities. Growing up and being around him I heard it all. And of course to want that love from a dad I more often than not went along with it. Hell, I was a kid. I didn't know any better. So as you can assume, I started to think like him. Fast forward to college and going out on my own. Being exposed to different people, backgrounds, cultures showed that I was dead wrong. I started to hate my dad for brainwashing me and being ignorant to the changing world around me. When I had kids I made a promise. I promised that hate would have no place in my house. My kids would enjoy a life where everyone is welcome and treated equally and they won't look at how a person looks first. Its whats inside. I ended up having words with my dad once when he said stuff around my son when he was little. Told him that if he was going to be like that then kiss his grandson goodbye. He wouldn't see him any more or any grandkid. Line in the sand. The hate ends with me. The next generation can be the ones to Sheppard in better, less hateful times. Racism is borne from ignorance and fear. Whats to fear? You put your pants on like I do. You and everyone are human beings with the right to be free and prosper. How hard is that to let happen? I'm sorry that the reality is what it is for you and your family. I pledge to do my part to make things a better place for everyone.

epic bust for my hood. barely any rain

Can confirm its gross outside. It was gross at 8am too. and 9am, and 10 am. you get the picture.

CU field went from nothing to popcorn in like 40 min

Only .11” yesterday. Storms all around but each time they got close they went POOF!

Sounds like you are doing all,the right things. Hope you are feeling better

no 50/50 low.

Its summer, you goobers. Lets please focus on the things we come to expect this time of year. Heat, humidity and brown grass.

had .5" yesterday. drizzle to start here today

I'm getting ready to call bust on the rain forecast.

Looks yummy. I wish I had taken pics of the bacon wrapped pork chops we had. Damn, they were good!!

This is like winter and wishing for the north trend

Cut off lows are never easy to model

If you need more guinea pigs I'll volunteer.

Yes. We went to his school and they held a ceremony outdoors. He got to walk to the music, receive his fake diploma(already had the real one) hear his name called and a short bio, and got some gifts and photos taken of him and with family. was able to get both grandmas to attend but sadly not his granddad who passed away in March. all in all I was so happy he got even this small celebration. I hope something can be done for yours and they get a chance to have a formal ceremony. Congrats to you and yours as well!!!!

NAM’d

I got to see my oldest kid graduate from his high school yesterday. I feel bad for all the 2020 seniors who got screwed out of their normal graduation but so glad schools did what they could to give them something I'm a proud dad today.

Or move to the roof Or place in a mulched area This is for long time posters who should know about these locations

An umbrella

GFS didn't have the last cutoff modeled well and the Euro was more correct with dominating HP to the north. Now watch the GFS be right after learning its lesson.

lol

yeah, saw that. Winds at times were no joke. Saw a bunch of other reports for road closures due to wires down and roads flooded. Rained more overnight.
