Center of the universe? @JoeyD

Ron

Considering that the universe does, in fact, revolve around me, yes.

That is downtown Miami, BTW.

 

Good one! I thought it was Miami but wasn't sure. Maybe this summer, fall or winter I'll get back down there. Like most people I have plenty of friends all over the state.

Well, you got one here. Let me know when you're in town...I'll buy you a Guinness.

 

Works for me.

It's not even 9 a.m. yet, and we're already at an uncomfortable 30°C

 

One thing about Coastal Georgia. When the weathers nice the bugs are out and down here the bugs have teeth and are starved for flesh and blood. IE Sand Gnats, Deer Flies, Horse Flies, Mosquitos.

 

Earlier today here in the Cleveland, Ohio burbs we finally got sunshine and about 85 F. I managed anice ride on the bike till I ran into a marathon run, roads closed and idiots for flag people at intersections. Finally got around all that and managed to get to Whiskey Island and the marina bar for a nice cold cider. Enjoyed that and figured my route home. I figured I would ride through downtown Cleveland since it was a Sunday. Wrong again as the Indians were having a home game. It was also windy up along the lake shore but really nice. Got home and grilled some chicken breast (bone in) and took a nap. Dark clouds moving in about now but all in all, despite obstacles, a really nice day and a good ride.

I watched the Tribe abuse Baltimore on TV. I could see those clouds coming in from the Lake. BTW: If the Tribe could just always play the Birds, they would be a lot better off.

We also finally got some sunshine. Yesterday,went out for a road ride on my bicycle. Did about 18 miles I passed 3 bars. Each had cars in the parking lot. I wondered why someone would want to sit in a dingy bar on such a beautiful day. Did 30 miles today but on a bike trail. Pretty remote so no bars.

Looks like you are getting it now. Headed this way shortly. Just just hope it cools things off and knocks down some of this pollen. It has been horrible along with those propeller seeds everywhere. I clean off my deck and driveway and it a few hours it is covered again.

 

I am back on the bicycle as well, getting in rides with my wife and son too. Getting to give the treadmill some rest.

The photo is from last year, but it's our bikes on a pleasant ride.

Oh yeah, those things are everywhere. Then if I don't clean them out of the gutters and down spouts I have trees growing in my gutters.

Yeah, the rains moved in but all in all it was a nice day. Finally!

You aren't all that far down the road.

Looks like it is going northeast. A huge blob just went north of me. Bet if I walked a mile north it would have been pouring. I was hoping it would clear the air here. My eyes have been stinging ad I have been sniffling all day and I don't have a big problem with allergies. You can just see the pollen in the air here.

Come on down and ride the Great Allegheny Passage. Amtrak has RORO now so getting back to your starting point could not be easier. I am ridding to Cumberland in September. My friends are continuing to DC.

I feel for you. I have a black truck so I asked my wife why my black truck was like a haze green? My neighbor is suffering like you. The tree pollen hasn't bothered me yet but I have discovered, with age, weird things which never had an effect on me seem to be having effects on me as I age. This sucks as I figured I already had my share of issues. My neighbor rejoiced at the rain and onthe bright side my truck looks black again but this will likely be short lived.

On another note when I see spinnaker or Yaakov reference a bike I know it's a bicycle. When I reference a bike it is a motorcycle type bike and currently a 92 Harley Davidson Electroglide which is a sort of large touring bike. At 27 years old my bike is like me, sort of retro.

Well, they should only get one more set of tornados in Oklahoma.
It's been like clockwork. Every time we get a cold front in southern Arizona a day or 2 later they get tornados in Oklahoma.
It looks like our summertime high pressure system is coming after this last cold front.

 

Down around the Dayton, Ohio area is a mess. They had a few tornadoes last night. Up here in Cleveland we are back to rain but yesterday was real nice and so far this morning, after rain, a sun and clouds mix.
