Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Yeah, you there on the Ashley River Bridge.
Here’s a smart little tip. Next time you want to cut across three freaking lanes, you might want to make sure the other two aren’t occupied before yanking the wheel over, ok?
It’s a good thing my highly honed defensive driving skills (drive like everybody else on the road is an idiot) kicked in because otherwise you would have ended up changing lanes into my engine, rather than ending up a foot off my front bumper.
TD2 is out in the eastern Atlantic and looks like it could become TS Bertha soon.
Got a few days to watch this one.
From the 5AM NHC discussion:
THE BIGGEST LIMITING FACTOR ON THE FUTURE STRENGTH OF THE DEPRESSION IS THE COOLER WATERS AND MORE STABLE AIR IN ITS PATH. AFTER ABOUT 24 HR ON THE NHC TRACK…SSTS DROP BELOW 26C AND STAY BELOW THAT THRESHOLD FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEREAFTER SSTS WARM SLIGHTLY AND MOST GLOBAL MODELS FORECAST AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD FAVOR SOME INTENSIFICATION.
The power connector on the motherboard side of my Dell laptop is starting to flake out. More often than not now, the laptop ends up running on battery power even though it’s plugged into the wall. After a quick perusal of the Dell support forums, it seems to be a fairly common problem requiring a motherboard replacement.
So, do I see if I can get it repaired, or try to convince the higher-ups that I need a new laptop…
141 years of Confederation!
CBC‘s Canada Day quiz this year is a tough one with a lot of current events questions.
Wild Heir Lab Rescue is in need of a few foster homes for 8 labs that are coming out of boarding in the next couple of days. If you’re willing and able to provide a temporary home for one of these dogs, fill out an application form. The dogs will love you for it.
If you haven’t got the room to foster, then come on out with your dog to WHLR’s next event, Worthy Creatures (formerly Kreature Comforts) Pet Spa Day on July 12 from 12 to 4 PM.
