  1. Yeah, I know. I grew up surrounded by passionate Phillies fans...parents, extended family, and friends. They were everywhere. Spent the first several years of my life going to the Vet (this was in the early/mid 1970s) and my path was set. Until... My dad worked for an outdoor advertising company that does billboards. His company had season tickets to the Orioles, seats were literally front row behind home plate. He took me to my first O's game in 1976 and that was it. I was hooked. I never looked back, been a die hard fan for 45 years now. At that point it became "fun" to go against everyone I knew and started rooting against the Phillies. Nothing was sweeter than beating the Phils at the Vet to win the 1983 World Series. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago and the great moments have been few and far between ever since. A lot of baseball fans today do not realize how great the Orioles organization was back in the 60s and 70s. "The Oriole Way" was something that most organizations tried to emulate (unsuccessfully) for many years until the Hoffberger family sold out to Edward Bennett Williams and then eventually, the despised Angelos family. That family has ruined a once proud organization. It's sad.
  2. Sunny and 79. Thought I might stay in the 70s today...likely not.
  3. What a spectacular day! Sunny and 72 at 11:30. Can't wait to hit the trail later this afternoon.
  4. It would feel really, really good to ruin the Phillies season...
  5. All I know is that PSU is 3-0. Right now, that's all that matters to me. I'm exhausted...
  6. Probably a ton of very sunburned people in State College right now...
  7. 87 here as well. My dewpoint is heading down though...63 now after reaching 69 this morning.
  8. Holy crap does it ever feel like mid summer here...81/68 and sunny.
  9. 78 and cloudy...some brightening over the past hour or so.
  10. 82 here - watching the cells with interest down in MD/DE that are rotating NW towards the I95 corridor.
  11. Can that 2nd low in Mexico bomb out in the Gulf and ride up the coast?
  12. I doubt if I see it get much if any higher. Sitting at 79 currently.
  13. Dews have dropped some during the morning hours. Was 68 earlier, now down to 64. With the cooler temps it feels pretty nice outside now.
  14. Quite humid out - wondering what the coverage of showers will be like later. At 11" for the month, I'm okay if I miss out today.
  15. I finished with 1.2" here. Have an amazing time! Just a few more weeks until I'm at my first game for this season.
  16. I absolutely do, especially from mid month on during anything less than moderate snow, and/or during marginal temps. We go through this every winter...snow will NOT accumulate efficiently unless rates are good and temps are in the 20s.
  17. 1.19" for the day. Just .08" away from 11" on the month.
  18. We have a couple of hours left in the day and then the month will be at the halfway point. I've received 10.72" of rain so far in September. On pace for a 21"+ month.
