For a rabid response bring up climate change.

4" here in Monson, though didn't measure till this morning when it had slumped like a bent back geezer.

The "Moodus Noise" acting up. "Moodus" is a Native American word for "noise;" Moodus, CT and surroundings sit over what is apparently an active fault. My in laws have a summer cottage on a lake a couple of miles from Moodus center, and it is not unusual to hear a distant, sonic like, boom which has been an ongoing phenomenon for centuries-- on rare occasions accompanied with ground shaking like in this evening's 2.3 magnitude quake.

Yeah, but as noted, the resulting appointment of a pedophile in the cabinet among other terrible picks, shows the "cutting edge" of the masses has gotten pretty dulled.

Nice try.

Nope. Someone aimed his sharpie that way-- and look what happened.

Sedimentation is piling up here.

Agree; the heat pump is more than enough, and despite the hot, humid July we used it sparingly in our main room, and also in the laundry area because the washer balks when the sweat index gets up too high. But heating with them as we need to partially do, is pretty expensive even though we also heat with wood. Leaky old mill houses like ours take their toll on the heating bill

We own ours also; get 120/month selling sun back to the grid, have a zero interest loan on the panels, and every night as needed, can plug in the electric truck and filler-up with off peak, discounted electrons.

Yes, biodiversity, an alien concept...

Which of course, has nothing to do with climate change...

I live a couple miles downstream of there. 12 Mile Brook which rises fast in heavy rain situations is no doubt roaring, if not out of its banks.

There seems to have been another of our "normal cyclic" drowning events yesterday and overnight in Long Island and Connecticut. Trouble is, the "cycle" seems to be stuck on wash.

Belief is built on evidence.

Of course, Mr. Galileo among others, demonstrated to the sobbing masses that all movements of the sun as perceived in casual observation from earth, are an illusion!
