But yea, totally no big deal calling them that, which is funny thinking about today's climate. Yeah I had them too. I definitely went through a mini jersey shore phase haha.

We noticed that so often last winter. We’d be physically colder at 35 in MD than 15 in Randolph. It’s a vibe, too. In the mountains, the cool air just hits differently, like it’s expected on those dry dew point days. Cool nights and warm days with large swings happen no matter what season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I can’t stand flip flops. I always feel like I have clinch my toes around the that strap in the middle in order to keep them on. They always feel like they’re about to fall off. I like sandal type shoes with straps or some type of boat shoe with no socks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 This Is my sense....opinion but I’m unsure how accurate is but I’m starting to sense it is correct. Vaccine efficacy appears to wane around 6 months out. I’m hearing vaccinated health care workers in front line jobs getting covid at a higher rate starting about a month ago...and these people were probably fully vaccinated January some time. Didn’t matter which vaccine. So boosters are probably needed at some point. The other point that is more opinion and less hard fact is the sense that while delta is very contagious it is less deadly by a good amount from the original covid. Now-regarding steak and flip flops.....I have to have my steak medium rare-fuk the cdc. Kind of like turkey-if you let it hit 180 in the deepest parts it’s gonna be really dry. I don’t wear flip flops and in fact when in public my toes which would make people vomit it they saw them must be covered. Decades of running have ruined my toes. So there..... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Flip flops all day every day at home.Second nature. Sneakers if long walks or going out for the night. Something comforting about a hoodie and shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely makes sense. My wife is always cold in MD. She runs the car seat heaters and wears jackets inside down here all year long, but up in Randolph she was in in short sleeves on the coldest nights over the winter. I suspect it might be the radiant hot water heating we have at the house. It's the drafts from the forced air heat pumps that get her, I think. The radiant heat just makes the whole house warm. It is definitely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, a wife beater isn’t just any old tank top. The original WB are those tank top type white undershirts made out of that Terri cloth material. To complete the look, you need blue jeans, one of those chain wallets, square toe boots with the buckle, 70’s porno mustache, mullet, and a Marlboro stuck to your lip with an inch of ash just hanging there sitting on the stoop of your trailer drinking a bud light from a can with a pit bull on a chain, 3 screaming kids and the old lady hollering at you through the kitchen window. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im taking the kids to see my mother and stepfather next week, so nothing local for me. Flying to Dallas next Monday and back Saturday. Supposed to be mid 90’s, at least in the long range. They have a pool at the assisted living complex where they live so that’s a plus. I’ll take my work laptop so I can get some relief from them. Lol. My step dad is 84 and not in great shape. So I figured I better go. I haven’t been in 2 years. My mom is in better health and she was just up here a couple months ago. Wife gets a stay at home vaca by herself. Just her, the dogs and the pool for 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are talking about delta non-stop right now. 24 hours straight of delta coverage. Whenever I come in the room I turn it off, but then later she turns it back on. The narrative is getting so over the top now I have noticed even the vaccinated people in my family who were very scared of COVID are starting to really question things. It kinda doesn't make any sense if you just turn off the TV and think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 FWIW: [quote] The CDC reported 6,587 COVID-19 breakthrough cases as of July 26, including 6,239 hospitalizations and 1,263 deaths. At that time, more than 163 million people in the United States were fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Divide those severe breakthrough cases by the total fully vaccinated population for the result: less than 0.004% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough case that led to hospitalization and less than 0.001% of fully vaccinated people died from a breakthrough COVID-19 case. Most of the breakthrough cases — about 74% — occurred among adults 65 or older. [\quote] Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 My boss just confirmed wheels up this Sunday…back to traveling as usual. Meeting up with people from across the country, including Florida, Alabama, Missouri, and Arizona. Some may still be unvaccinated. What could go wrong? Anyway, with that, COVID is really over for me now, so long as nobody around me - myself included -doesn’t get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
