On this day in:
Well, that's great, but what about an F5 Tornado?
Believe it or not, for the month of June, you've have had more rain in Las Vegas than we've had in North Texas. We've officially had 0.00" this month.
They promised rain yesterday and today, but it is still not raining. It is not hot enough to grow corn, and not cold enough to keep down the mosquitoes. It has been light for two months, not even a night of twilight. The foliage has started to change and the flowering things have flowered and are done. We knew the summer couldn't last.
No, no, no - we already determined that it's a GR1 Tornado. The F-5 is either called the Tiger II or the Freedom Fighter, depending on the model:
Very dry here in Illinois south of Chicago also. Wed night church, farmers said crops at a critical stage already unless we see a couple inches real soon. Looks like late Aug or Sept out there already, all the grains are golden brown. Bet we will make it toward 100 today, saying 97.
Newbie by 0 years, 0 months, 0 weeks and 18 days. =)

In my professional opionion, it is safe to say we are all in an ugly way. Thank you. Feel free to resume your ugly-feeling affairs at this time without any further hinderance from me.
Blech indeed. Monsoons overnight till late a.m. Then this wet heat that really cleans the pores out.
Life is a beautiful thang.
