About the O and that “all business take command” look today. I noticed the gray hair was apparent. Was he showing his “experienced presidential” side? The thing is — when he was getting updates just in the last 2 days in MV, the photo-ops showed just black hair.
All for appearance. No substance.
Yep...but will the public be fooled by his desperate publicity stunt? I don’t think so....the locals and state officials have been preparing for this thing for a week, while he was out playing golf....LOL!
I googled a number of recent Obama photos and was unable to verify your observation in re grey hair to look like a CiC and black hair on vacation.
Reporting in from Essex County, NJ — about 12 miles from NYC.
Rain bands all day, but it must be the calm before the storm as except for a breeze every now and then, it is quite still. My wall of bamboo sometimes just lies there with not a frond moving. Talking about trees, we have a massive white oak overhanging the house. It is a beloved tree and if we ever move, it is going with us. But I’ve been sending positive vibes to it hoping it will stay strong when the winds pick up.
One thing I learned, here on FR, was to put your patio/deck furniture in the pool! We did and it is a perfect way to keep it from blowing all over. The glass top table is now upside down on a mattress cover, so it will be OK, but everything else is submerged! I verified it all on a google search ti. What a great idea!!
This is a “Tree Town USA”, and there is a patch of woods at the back of the yard. However this town has all its power lines in the back yards, not out front. I expect power outages from all the fallen trees, and it will take some work to restore ours. Thank goodness for a generator that will include recharging my B’Berry, so I can keep on-line! It isn’t as tho I’m addicted to FR, of course. I mean I can stop it anytime I want. It’s not a problem. Honest! LOLOL!
Hi there Nutmeg and NautiNurse! Fun Freeping with you both those many times! And NN — thanks for this thread and your wonderful knowledge. Really appreciate it. DH and I took weather forecasting courses years ago, when we sailed. Before computer models, and when we used our sling psychrometer to measure dewpoint and humidity. Fun times!
Stay safe all!
Hiya Exit man!
You still have electricity I see.
WE’ve lost it three times already right east of Georgetown proper. don’t expect to keep it long.
Filled bath tub today at noon, all the water was gone by 4pm. Rigged up a makeshift stopper, re-filled. Plan B, will fill empty cat litter buckets with water and store THEM in the bathtub. All in the spirit of American Can-Do.
Dog is freaking. Let her out in yard earlier, was windy, blowing rain, but not the worst. She did squat and pee but she looked at us with squinted rain-pounded eyes beseeching us silently as humans and in charge of the universe to make this stuff from the sky stop.
Dog peeing from now till is over will be in the garage. Concrete floor...we’ve done it before.
