1:15 PM here (well, approximately) and I just stepped outside to put out a bit of possum food. It is noticeably cooler (well, less hot) today and there is a nice little breeze. Tropical Storm Hillary is scheduled to get us just a bit of rain plus temperatures in the 80's F; typical for an August storm here, although one can reasonably expect some flooding in southern California. If we are lucky we may even get a little lightning, but I wouldn't bet on it. ----Alan
Just now (about 5PM) I stepped outside, and it sure felt hot. About 75% cloud cover, reported temperature 96F, humidity 26%. Thunderstorms predicted this evening, winds 5-10 mph. We plan to do some weeding in a flowerbed after dinner. ——Alan
Dr. Kipping seems to have an accent close to what I have been attempting to acquire; I wonder if he comes from the West of England. I have not found any biographical information about him (e.g. Wikipedia entry). ----Alan
Thick clouds had formed by 6PM; about 6:10 the wind picked up and we heard the first thunder. The wind was blowing a lot of dust, then by 6:15 it was beginning to rain. Our weeding, which had been scheduled for 6:30, has been cancelled. ----Alan

Re Proud Boy on House Arrest Disappears [Click]:
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he did a bunk or if Trump's people got to him and removed him permanently.
I suppose he took French leave; perhaps I am wrong, but so far it seems the Trumpists are actually too squeamish to take anyone for a ride.
