dendrite Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 All he had to say is that he would never kneel, but he respects the right of others to do it if they feel it's the best way to convey their message. My hunch is he had good intentions, but worded it damn poorly...and he obviously can't relate to what black people have gone through for the better part of 2 centuries in this country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can disagree reasonably about a lot of things but as Americans we should be steadfast in supporting and protecting the rights of others. That obviously isn’t the case among many that let politics or their own ignorance get in the way. Just as bad were the comments about his grandparents serving during WWII. They fought honorably along with millions of others to defend this nation. One of those people was my grandfather, who was drafted and served at a time where he was very clearly a second class citizen. He could have been lynched for trying to go into a segregated restaurant and purchase a meal...or looking at a white woman...or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet, he answered the call of his country. Some people don’t get that when they express these thoughts. A lot of us are still trying to secure the same freedoms as everyone else. In 2020. I thank your grandfather for his part in helping me have the freedoms I have today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Surprised to see we are at 89 in the backyard now and that it was 91 about an hour ago. My site is always very accurate temp wise. Especially surprising since the Norwood swamp is only 87. Anybody else hit 90 in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when your 3-day backpacking trip gets a bit more interesting with a foot of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you get the second time shingles sounds like fun....i've heard it often starts with a strange sensatiion... as like an itch underneath your skin...you have tingling itch/sensation develop BEFORE you have any visible skin issues ..people will have like an irritable area and to their surprise there is nothing visible the first couple days of these weird tingling sensations "beneath the skin" .as it begins in the nerves under the skin...then it comes to the surface a few days later. Some Folks this can be debilitating and last for weeks and have some symptoms for over a month ....some people can have it much milder. Sounds disturbing and usually effects one side of the body....depending on where this is leg/back/ass/face.. could be a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1pf Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 So I'm now all-in in South Florida. Got the Davis up a few weeks ago. It isn't like where you live.. just now: High rain rate so far on the Davis is 12in/hr. I had to go look up what the Vue integrated sensor can do for rain rates.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing video. Nine years ago while we were visiting family in DEC, a storm like that passed 6-8 miles to our south. At least 100 strikes/minute and the thunder was like a drum roll - could rarely distinguish individual booms. Far beyond anything in my 99.9% Northeast experience, and next day even the locals were still in awe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far beyond anything in my 99.9% Northeast experience, and next day even the locals were still in awe. I may have told this story on the board a few years back but thunderstorms with lots of lightning brought back this memory. I'm 63. When I grew up in Baltimore in the 1960's and eary 70's there was no weather radar. Other than hourly obs it was very hard to tell where thunderstorms were. Most phone calls were long distance so a phone call of 50 miles was long distance and charged to your phone. Transistor radios were very popular and on the AM dial 530 was a great place to listen for the distinct static that lightning produced. So I would listen intently in the afternoons to the frequency and how loud the static were and if they were getting louder or softer. That gave me a crude way of forecasting storms although I never knew exactly where they were. I kept a chart and called them "SPM's" statics per minute. Okay, too much weenie info but I was "that weird kid" when it came to getting excited about severe or unusual weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
