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.
This is right now. It just blew up. gonna be an interesting night.
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.
Since I set up Thread with most of my follows from Twitter, it’s actually more useful than Twitter, no ads. This filled gap with those not on Mastodon
We went to pool last evening for some aqua therapy. Floating is really good for low back issues.
The water in the pool was warm. Feels very bizarre
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
This seems like exactly what we’re talking about now
Documentary Summer: Daniel Patrick Moynihan
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

42 years and this album still hold up well.
All of my weather apps are going off with flood and storm warnings. Here we go, ½ 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.
George Washington is rolling in his grave

The Dems have a line up that the GOP can’t match.
In addition to Harris and Waltz, if the Clintons and the Obamas and some of the other high profile Dems and entertainment types can stay on point with the message for 75 days they can realistically win this thing.
I canceled my Facebooks account over 10 years ago and Instagram shortly thereafter. But taking the path of lesser evil, I opened a threads account to finally get away from Twitter. Many of the last few that I follow on Twitter are now on Threads (& not on Mastodon or MB).
I call BS on everything Vance is saying, he talks like Kamala was president. He says it was all her policies
It’s still sad that a Taxes judge can block something across the country
Texas judge blocks the FTC from enforcing its ban on noncompete agreements
Fair game clubs don’t win trophies
Tottenham named England’s best-run men’s football club in Fair Game Index
Storms are lining up. One of them is a Hurricane. I can only assume at least one will come close.
We really miss Pier 1 Imports. Most our home decor, dishes, rugs and other small things came from that store. It was so nice walking into a physical store. The store was a pleasant place to hang out. The Kona store was doing well.
