Hurricane Honi is safely past us. Now Gilma and Hector are lining up. Gilma expected to pass on the north. Hector - too soon to tell
Think the worst of the storm is beyond us. Still very poor visibility and still light rain. Side note,v they keep showing the flooded soccer fields in Hilo. That area was homes and businesses before the 1961 tsunamiand was cleared as a flood plain. The are flood every storm
Hearing the term “cone of uncertainty” a lot in reference to the hurricane. I think life in general has a cone of uncertainty.
The TS became a Hurricane overnight. Lots of flooding on the east-side. It rained all night here on the west-side. The usual streets will be flooded in town. There are abundant dry wells in our area.
Watched a couple of interviews with old conservatives from generational farms and ranches in CA & TX. They were rueing their community, farms and ranches being taken over by immigrants. What they didn’t say is their kids don’t want to work in farming and ranching.

The day before the Tropical Storm/ Hurricane in Kona. TBF, we are behind the 3 mountains; Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai. We’ll get ours from the back of the storm as it passes.
He did it to himself. Walked Muncy to load the bases then had to pitch to Otani. Walk off Grand slam
It’s the peak of summer here in the tropics. Rarely below the 80s at night nor over the 90s in the day. It’s the Humidy that’s the killer.
Felt like watching something totally different. Finishing up Ken Burns bio on Ernest Hemingway. Quite the story. Need to go back and read his early short stories.
I’m sure that’s exactly what the founding fathers had in mind
A Trump judge ruled there’s a Second Amendment right to own machine guns
All of my weather apps are going off with flood and storm warnings. Here we go, 1/2 way through Hurricane season and Mother Nature woke up from her nap
My family are immigrants. This is a colorized photo of my Great Grandfather, his brother and my grandfather. They had a bakery in Boston. My Irish side came to the continent in 1790.
Had some down time and deleted the mother lode of apps from my phone. If I couldn’t remember what it did or when I last opened it, it’s gone. I’m sure I deleted a few by mistake.
