mackerel_sky Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Does anyone else see that mirage on the road when driving where it looks like the road is covered in water? That's so cool. You can even see the reflection of objects in the mirage.Maybe Waycross is a mirage/nightmare and one day u might wake up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have to say WRAL was right on the money with this one. Good job! Not here. It is wet, but that was all from before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, looks like WRAL was wrong about it being a washout, too. There was minor flooding west of Cary this afternoon. Remember, just because your locale sucks for weather doesn't mean its's a bust... oh wait, this is Brick Trollbot I'm responding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well, looks like WRAL was wrong about it being a washout, too. Rained here from 9:00 until 5:45 with one 10 minute break this afternoon. I'd call that a washout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It looks like they are really cracking down on education in Kentucky. You've really got to watch the delivery methods. Mathematics can be a dangerous game. It's not for the faint of heart. The public should be aware of the risks that are involved with giving our children too much knowledge.

The public should be aware of the risks that are involved with giving our children too much knowledge. Risk is an integral part of today's education process, though it's sometimes difficult to differentiate between who's learning and who's teaching. There are certainly pluses and minuses to the actions of the educated, which are usually the derivatives of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 + 10 Don't give me too much credit. It has been so long since i took math that I think the order of operation is rock, paper then scissor. Higher math classes add, lizard, Spock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 After spending the summer in my own backyard version of Venice, (except there are no Italians, fine architecture, or even good Italian food), I have determined 2 things: (1) Gondolas are underrated & (2) gigantic, waterlogged squash and zucchini are meant to be displayed rather than eaten, because they taste terrible. Like, unacceptably terrible. You know how there are certain foods that have a terrible taste, but because they're super nutritious you generally accept it? No. There is no redeeming reason to eat giant, waterlogged squash and/or zucchini. And I'm pretty sure it's not good sign when the mosquitos and hummingbirds can look each other in the eye when perched atop the feeder. One of the mosquitos was wearing a biker jacket with a "West Nile" patch sewn on the back. The name on the front read "Big Show", and it wasn't even ironic.

Good to see you drop in. It's been dry in my microclimate for May and June. Then, the switch flipped for the latter half of July through now. Lots of rain now recently. No super-sized mosquitoes here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Didn't have any rain at all yesterday. Didn't have really any rain after noon on Saturday. No rain so far today. Hopefully, we are done for the rain for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, we are done for the rain for a while. Looks like the rain shields have moved from the Triad to the Triangle because the last three days have been dreary and rainy, which is fine by me. The rain is nice. However, the rain shields will be moving back in tomorrow and we'll return to desert conditions.

Solak Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Do any of you have your own personal 'standard of measurement' when it's raining? Me.... well when it starts dripping of the side porch roof, I know at least .01" has fallen. When the little dip in the road in front of the house starts puddling, that's .03". When you can see water in the ditch across the road, and it a new rainfall, well, that takes .50" for it to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wondering where you were. Now it's making sense. You've been wasting all summer in the back yard playing with mosquitobirds and eating gourds. Better rest up for the big 2xD trip, followed by a huge winter of model watching and snowfall measuring! Glad to hear from you, bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
