>>>Most people think of the baseball team<<<

LOL - That was my guess too.

Never would have guessed meteorology.

Whenever I think of meteorologists, I remember the one question I missed on my commercial pilots exam:
If your weather briefing called for virga, what would you expect to encounter? Who ever heard of high altitude rain that didn’t reach the ground..... LOL Never forgotten that one.

Question... Do you adjust canning pressure based on barometric pressure or altitude? OK, sorry, being silly now...

Altitude, but it's not such a silly question. I've been canning here for a few years and just realized that we're enough about sea level that I should have been adding another 5 minutes to the hot water bath canning. I make sure the gauge on the pressure canner reads a little bit over 240, just to be on the safe side.

It's very common in Arizona and California, and I would imagine Utah, Nevada and New Mexico.
