Good morning! It’s on the cool side today, but we are bracing ourselves for heat overload in a few days when triple digits not seen for four years sre suppose to hit. Yikes!
My 93 y/o friend is keeping her granddaughter’s cats, Fig and Fin, for a semester. She shared how they make her get out of bed early acting like they want food bit what they really want is for her to be up with them😃
That’s CATS!
I just looked at our forecast. Next week is going to be a scorcher again. And I’ve been enjoying the open windows and mild temps for the last week or so.
And in other weather news, we’re watching the path of Hilary coming up from Mexico. Could be something — or not much — in terms of impacts on Southern California. For now, though this could change, it sounds like it could bring some significant (and weird for August!) rain to some parts of our region sometime Sunday-Monday.
Thankful that we’ve (so far) escaped blistering temps for the most part here on the coast this summer. Love wide open windows and old-school fans that have all been sufficient.
Whole house fan is bringing in some cool air for now. It will be in the 90s later
Just praying through some names from my church. Many of these are my folks. God is calling me to do some visiting
Last time something like this hit was in 1939 and in the area where I currently live:
~ Only one full-blown tropical storm has hit the coast of California in recorded history: the Long Beach tropical storm that made landfall near San Pedro in 1939, according to the NWS. No tropical cyclone has made landfall in California at hurricane intensity in recorded history. ~
We are enjoying a break from the heat with some rain and expecting mid eighties but currently mid sixties. The corn hole competition is on rain delay. Husband is off to another veteran funeral.
Janice at 9:07, sad but also sad that he apparently was doing his job ably enough without the missing studies. Makes me wonder if we are washing out a lot of people God has trained through our educational expectations.
Lying about it was, of course, wrong. But I wonder how far he could have risen in responsibility on his own God given skills if we were open to merit over big name education.
I suppose I’ll need to get my hooded jacket back out.
(We’re toward the bottom of the ‘red zone’ — the peninsula ‘bump’ where it says Redondo Beach):
A Tropical Storm Watch (Sunday-Monday) has been issued for Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Antelope Valley Foothills, San Gabriel Mountains, Interstate 5 Corridor, Santa Clarita Valley, and Highway 14 Corridor, as well as much of the southern coastal waters. #CAwxpic.twitter.com/JVFtG4PMco
You are right, Mumsee, about the on his merit and not credentials, but the lying . . . reminded me of Ravi. This man sent out short video updates that I listened to and enjoyed.
I guess when people do give false statements on employment applications when they are young, they never realize how high they will rise and at what level they will be at with those puffed up credentials.
I had PT this afternoon. The other patient had been to another nation and they had no doors to use for hanging the arm pulley for stretches so she’d lost ground.
Sunday into Monday, they’ve said. I think it might not amount to much, but that’s not based on anything, of course, other than the fact that sometimes these “stories” that get the biggest build-up and play don’t quite pan out so big. But we’ll see.
I’m finishing up a piece that looks at big storms in CA’s history and just talked to a man, now in Colorado, who said he was about 7 when his family moved to Redondo from South Dakota and he recalled big rocks flying through the air during a very strong wind storm that drove up the surf (this was in the 1950s). I can’t see any reference to a big storm in that period, but maybe it just missed getting onto the ‘Greatest Hits’ storm list.
At the very least we should get some rain, but that’s not good for my roof, so there you go. The roofers are supposed to come back to check on how I’m still getting moisture marks on my ceiling, but I thought no rush, we won’t get rain until November.
Just in from two and a half hours of corn hole. There were five of us very evenly matched so every twelve games we got to sit out three. He sat out three times so he played a lot! My dad is not competitive, no sirree!
The Tropical Strom Watch has been expanded to include ALL of LOS ANGELES County, as well as mountains, valley and foothills of Ventura County. pic.twitter.com/zL6SX9vO50
