Atmosphere Comparison

The endless chatter of weather.

I have a location for my house bookmarked and it never changes.

Earthquake, maybe?

It's 57F in my yard right now. There's a taste of fall in the air. It feels nice, but I'm already starting to miss the long days. It won't be long before I can't walk in sunlight after work.

That would be one hell of an earthquake to alter the GPSed location for my bookmark.

Tomorrow should be interesting we will see how it pans out. 20 degrees in Sept. that’s even a little early for me especially since I’m in the process of staining the house. Got to love 2020!

Does anyone know why it is so smoky in Flagstaff today? It seems to be that type of smoky haze which is coming from further away rather than very close by. I know I have fire and weather watching friends out there who know more than to just Google "Why is it so smoky in Flagstaff today?" Yes I tried that. It didn't work. Now I'm going back to what I really need to be doing. It actually is thick enough to feel it in my eyes and throat.

Just be happy you're not hiking in the Sierra. Did anybody read if it's gonna be a boy or a girl? I didn't finish reading it.

California wildfires would be the likely culprit.

It's going to be a massive Lawsuit is what it's gonna be. Gender Reveals need to be included in Fire Bans apparently.

Well I finally put on my little thinking cap and looked at a weather satellite map. There are two large wide plumes of smoke coming from California across and heading east. From that fire near Fresno, the one where they rescued all the people by helicopter at a lake, the smoke appeared to mostly be heading across Nevada. The smoke we are receiving in northern Arizona appears to be from Southern California, where there are quite a few fires going on right now. So I imagine it's from a combination of different fires in SoCal.

it's from a combination of different fires in SoCal

That sounds familiar...

[SuperstitionGuy]

Actually you are both right but it is not the Forest Fires in California doing it.
It is all those homeless camps scattered up and down the coast brewing up their barbecues.

Ultra Sound determined probably sex result reveals, not gender reveals. I don't care what they name them. Gender is the outward expression of sex, and the fetus's probable sex is all that is being revealed. Sorry, but I hate that name. The word, "gender", predates the madness surrounding it, too.

You could have just clicked the handy link I posted in my reply! ;)

Dang! And I even have new glasses!

I'll click on it now. If I can find it with my new glasses.

Honestly, when I first heard that term, the sex of a baby didn't even occur to me. I think the whole concept is ridiculous actually, especially during a Pandemic. Hey! Let's make sure the new Mom has to go through Covid 19 too!

Did some say smoke? Cameron Peak Fire is blowing right into the pass. Apparently it exploded the last couple days with 40000’ plumes. Waldo canyon is less than a mile away as the crow flies for perspective. At least it doesn’t smell like burning toxic plastic like 2 years ago.

It sure is, and this isn't the first disaster connected to one.

So, you actually have your very own Twitter account? Wow! I don't actually know anyone in person who uses Twitter (or at least, admits to using it.)
