Cheers!

My current view looking out our dining room. I think we have some rain coming.

We just had a squall line roar over us. Bent the trees over pretty good by we didn't lose any...or power, for that matter (underground utilities helps)...

Out where it reads Amherst, we had a few blips, But I'm pretty sure as you head that far west, there are sign that read "Thar be dragons here.." You know, after the world falls off.

I wonder if that’s the same front that came roaring through our area earlier in the Finger Lakes Region of NY?

 

[day_trippr]

I caught part of the local news and apparently that squall line wrought havoc out in Worcester and then near the coast.
Lots of big trees down, local roads closed, hundreds of thousands of folks sans power...

This might be paywalled... More than 175,000 without power after severe thunderstorm rolls through Mass. - The Boston Globe

Of course I had just finished mowing the grass/leaves. You'd never know it now...

That's very close to me. Couldn't watch the news, so don't know if there officially was, but we've been without power since 4pm yesterday. Outages all over the area. Especially sucks for us, as we have a well pump and grinder pump, so no electricity means no water.

I feel for you. Had a couple of outages this summer although our block had it easy. Towns further up the hill had outages for several days due to 25 mph winds. Hope you guys get power restored soon. I’ll take the occasional earthquake over tornado any day.

I hope they have the foresight to preserve some ships of this generation as museum ships. When I was a kid, the remaining WW2 ships seemed like yesterdays junk to some people, but now the the ones they saved are rare examples technologies that are pretty much lost, practically speaking, and fascinating, to me anyway.

After a trip to Pearl Harbor and visiting the USS Bowfin, I agree. I’m not sure who was more excited, myself or my children. It was an incredible time capsule of my grandfathers era.

I stumbled across the last surviving Vietnam era PTF last weekend. I was just walking the pier, checking to see if any of the fishermen were doing any good, and there it was!

my annual warning about using a flame candle in your jack-o'-lantern

don't

edit: yes, I took this picture. back in the late 90s we were visiting my sister in NJ. Her condo building is to the right of this one, 50 feet away across a small parking lot. we came back from dinner to find her street blocked off & this building engulfed in flames. the lady who lived in the lower right condo had put a flame candle in her jack-o'-lantern & it got knocked over

again, DON'T USE A FLAME CANDLE

Do it in the dark.

Been there, done that! I still have a slight indention in my right shin bone from running into a trailer hitch in the dark many moons ago.

This turkey has walked up my driveway every night for the last 3 months on its way to her favorite tree. Amazingly reliable...could set a watch by her.

I expect her to disappear sometime next month.
