As we await word that Quinn and Rose are returning soon, - and it looks like something is in the works - our friendly group of dedicated FReeper Q&R fans will continue to meet in our usual spot as we always have! So grab your coffee - or whatever you choose to start your day - and drop in for some political chit-chat, or just to shoot the breeze! We are all coming from - or going to - work, but we all stop in to say ‘hi!’ Feel free to join us!
Good middle-of-the-week morning!
Mornin’ everybuddy!
Good morning!
Pretty heavy thunderstorm rolling through. STRONG ozone smell. Around 3:30 lightning hit a truck in Mount Oliver and it exploded.
Electric is flickering. Might lose power and cable.
Everything in my garden died .. no rain in weeks.. and silly me growing that corn .. it used all of my water.. the garden is a bust now!
Good morning n’@!
Very similar here. Looks really dark to our west, so more storms coming. But I really agree about your ozone comment, and it likes greenish good outside (here) right now. :-/
Did you make a special anniversary dinner in your new Temptations?
Oh my...sorry to hear that. Must be very frustrating after all your work.
Meatloaf, LOL!
Two of the grandkids helped...
There IS kind of a strange greenish tint outside.
LOL Look at all that work I don’t have to do... the only thing left to do is pull all of the dead stuff up. No more growing stuff in kiddie pools for me!
Morning! We’re just the opposite. TOO MUCH rain - and cold! My tomatoes are brown half way up the stalks. Warmer the last couple of nights so the tomatoes are finally getting ripe. Deer are eating up everything. They are so bold, they ignore our dog!
Wet here too. Looks like more to come.
Usually, by now, I have strawberries and peaches in the freezer, plus jam and canned peaches. Not this year. The local peach and strawberry crops succumbed to the unusually cold winter. I’m hoping the apple yields are better.
I saw several cloud to ground bolts this am while driving south on 28. It was a mess out there this am.
OMG....I live near Mt Oliver? Where was that. I heard a really loud boom this morning. Darn night storms.
Sorry, lost internet for a bit and fell asleep.
In any case here’s a link to a WPXI pic and I think the story.
