Guest Pamela Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Nothing beats the Wildwood Boardwalk. Been going there since I was a toddler. Darian: Gordon paid (x number of dollars*) for that... Bud: Geez, you could have had a whole beach house for that... Darian: Yeah...in Wildwood, New Jersey. *conveyed in a tone that was very dismissive and slightly condescending* *The omission of the monetary amount was deliberate as the discussion of dollars might be perceived as a rather de classe endeavor...

Guest Pamela Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 if i believed in god i'd pray for a warm winter. the plants and fauna could use a recovery I very much like your use of the conditional tense "if I believed"....conveys a perfectly splendid synergy between hope and the slightest bit of uncertainty...

Bud , remember this , Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

Guest Pamela Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 When Sirius rises With the sun Mark the Dog Days Well begun... <Old Roman proverb> The denizens of Rome reasoned incorrectly that the addition of the heat generated by Sirius rising in the morning during the July through August period was the sine qua non in making that spell so unbearably warm...

AmyB Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yep! Can't wait. A few more days. I was going to go to Montauk to watch but I chose Catskills so I can do some decent milky way photography as well. I just updated to Lightroom 6.1, and the new "dehaze" slider works wonders at minimizing the effects of light pollution on night sky images. I'm amazed at how much more detail I've been able to coax out of Milky Way images with this new tool. It's hardly worth buying into the CC just for one feature, but it's definitely something to look out for. please post the pics, I'd love to see them.. i'm going to enjoy the show from my backyard.. it gets pretty dark here and there's not too much tree cover so I should have an excellent view of a decent portion.. i'm stoked!!! and i like the turn this thread took here, even if i have NO clue what it's referencing!

Juliancolton Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Lol the first signs already here with the days getting shorter My first accumulating snowfalls have been before November 13 since 2010. By that metric, I'm probably within 100 days of my first snow events—and possibly no more than 80 days, if 2011 is any indication. Incidentally, today marks 45 weeks until the summer solstice...

ForestHillWx Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 When inspecting my bee hive yard yesterday, I came across one of the largest Wooly Bear caterpillars I have personally seen. A smaller brown stripe as opposed to the black head and remainder of the body. It all means nothing, however folk lore says a great winter en route for the snow and cold crowd. A little positive news in the middle of summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
