    Mid-March into early April will be rockin'!!

    Got up at 4AM Tuesday for the lunar eclipse, and took a series of photos (first one of the full moon was actually taken earlier in the evening hours before the eclipse). Here's a gif animation...

    Well, honestly, we could use the rain for sure. A good 2-4" swath area-wide would help, and perhaps not be overwhelming.

    Too early in the season to queue up the "Jaws" music I suppose...but here's hoping you have many opportunities to do so as we get into winter!!

    Friend of Barnabas Collins??

    What's the wind criteria for a leaf blizzard warning?

    Be sure you measure at 6 hour intervals and do NOT slant-rake!

    I think the Cleveland Guardians (my home town team!) is one of the only teams that actually plays mostly small-ball these days. They don't have a lot of HR power, so this is kind of by design. This season they were quite good at getting runners on base and moving them around, not relying on the home run for everything. Even though they didn't win the ALDS vs. the Yankees, you could see how effectively they used that in that series, and they certainly gave the Yanks a scare!

    And some early morning autumn fog the other day. Black and white made it feel more "mysterious."

    Some Japanese maples...they almost look like some kind of impressionist painting!

    You too, mappy! Hope all is well. My daughter was literally 364 days old for her first Halloween (her birthday is Nov. 1!), but we scored some good candy for adults in the neighborhood all the same. The "awww, look at the baby, have some candy for yourselves!" ploy! Of course, now she turns 19 tomorrow so any mention of "trick or treat", even in jest, gets an eye-roll and a "Really, dad? I'm not 5 anymore!" (she's currently at U MD).

    So this is what the former staff of the old Panic Room is doing to make ends meet! Pretty cool! Glad @WxWatcher007 and his staff are keeping some tradition going. Halloween is like the Panic Room version of Mardi Gras! As far as Starbucks is concerned, my guess is that the coffee just goes right through them!

    Well, disappointed that the Guardians lost last night. Oh well. But to be honest, I never expected them to even force a decisive game 5 vs. the Yankees, and damn near nobody even thought they'd win their division (let alone be in the post-season) with the youngest lineup in baseball! So, maybe hope for next season then. I'm proud of them all the same! Thanks, Guards, for an amazing run!!!!

    Haha, maybe so, that's true! There's nothing like knowing we're getting pummeled when @Bob Chill pulls out the large "shock" emoji after a model run! But you gotta admit, that Bryce Harper face is amusing!!
  16. Scarlet Pimpernel
    I nominate Bryce Harper's reaction to Schwarber's home run last night as our new "shock" emoji () when a model hammers us with snow!!

    Whoo-hooo Guardians with a 1-0 win vs. Tampa!!! Advancing to the next round of the playoffs. Of course, that will be against the Yankees, but whatever, they got farther than anyone (including myself) would have thought. Tense 15 inning game ending with a walk-off HR in the bottom of the 15th inning by Oscar Gonzales! Longest scoreless post-season game in history, too.

    Now that's funny!!! Maybe that's the same guy who always chimes in with "how much for Short Pump?" each winter. Hmmm, pumping gas in Short Pump. I'll leave that one alone and let @ravensrule chime in! (Yeah, shouldn't have thrown him a bat signal there!).

    A brilliant cardinal and the moon...
  20. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Nope. Only flakes around are in this sub-forum!!

    Haha, that's great! Kudos on the Princess Bride reference! "The GFS was correct in its depiction of precip building back into our area?? INCONCEIVABLE!!" "I spent the last few years building up an immunity to precip as shown on the GFS!"

    To be fair, I don't actually mind carrot cake! (Sorry @mappy, @H2O!!) But...chocolate cake, cannot top that! Key lime pie? Mmmmmm! No comment needed on the Vienna wieners in jello (shudder thinking about that!). OK, with all these pie and cake wars going on, where's @Mrs.J to weigh in with some input?!
  23. Scarlet Pimpernel
    So... Carrot Cake > Chocolate Cake and... Jello Weenie-Os > Carrot Cake Therefore this implies the unthinkable!: Jello Weenie-Os > Chocolate Cake? Oh my, I don't even...

    I WOULD NOT, COULD NOT IN A TREE. NOT IN A CAR! YOU LET ME BE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A BOX. I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A FOX. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A MOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM HERE OR THERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE CARROTS IN A CAKE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM, YOU FECKLESS RAKE!

    Where's your Vienna sausage wieners in jello picture???
