Ok. I'll bite. The Foodumb Fighters.

After prognosticating the weekend would be hot, and then amending the forecast to say... not so hot... it ultimately was quite hot in the PNW for Mother's day. Original mid to upper 80's changed to upper 70's to low 80's. But we ended up in the very upper 80's for both days. The smell of quarantined bbq's reopening was nice. I reopened mine also. Back to a more normal spring in the next few days. An early blooming spring here so I can save on some water that the lawn already needs. Could be a bad drought year here. The signs already look bleak.

"On The Road To Freedom" Great album! Always loved Alvin Lee.

Make sure that goes in the *Food Porn* thread!

I love pastrami. This is almost enough.

Wow... And that's why I don't bake.

I saw the video also. It still is shocking to see the pic, too. It is an image indelibly burned in my mind. And such a cavalier Mindset. To take a human life.

White House Military aid tests positive for coronavirus. Hoax?

Pence staffer now tests positive for Covid 19. What goes around... keeps going around.

Seattle-ish area is now forecast for the high 70's to low 80's this weekend. Cooler than originally posted. Today is nice and sunny. It's 60 now on it's way to about 70. Then the warm up starts. I'm fortunate to have a big deck in back where I can isolate if need be in the sun. It's been nice to have relatively clear skies at night for the Eta Aquarid shower and that last huge full moon. We usually miss the meteor showers due to overcast conditions. Or at least I do.

I know that means something (I think). I just don't know what. How do you yell at him to come home for dinner?

And here I thought I was a bad dancer. I watched that show occasionally. My wife was on a local San Francisco tv dance show way back.

Especially towards the end of 'your' day. If you are starting to tire then a small change in temp can feel drastic. After windsurfing in the Gorge, it may still be 90+ degrees but, even dry, if you're tired you are going to feel a chill more. And age has a bearing on this, also.

Inquiring minds want to know.

We're going to need twistedcrankcammer's Cliff Notes for this one.

Supposed to hit the mid to upper 80's here in the PNW towards the end of the week. That's very warm for here in general and waaay warm for this time of year. I love it. But I'm an expat surfer dude from '70's Ca. I need the sun. If it's over 60-65 and sunny around here a lot of people go into hiding (which we're already doing!) Too hot! After a sunny 50 degree day, we break out the shorts and flip flops. It's kind of weird, really. But after the fall and winter , it doesn't take much to get us excited.

Darn, people are so afraid now even the worm makes 'em squirm!

I just ordered a Japanese version CD of this per your suggestion.

It must've been a good one. It was removed before I got to it!

I kind of dislike that truth sometimes. But it is never ending.

Being prepared is one thing. Analogising a new (4 mos? 5 mos?) killer virus to "You know, ... Seasoned veterans of hurricanes.." is, imo, false equivalency. If we had many decades and generations to learn to prepare as veterens of hurricanes do, then the individual states or in fact individual citizens can make sure. Most people are only asking for a bit of consistent, sustained guidance through a completely unknown time. We aren't getting it so slowly some states are acquiring it themselves. It should never have been a pissing contest from either side. But these don't appear to be United States of America, lately.

Arby's!! We Have The MEAT!
