    but prediction is for rain and lots of it. Last night folks were lucky as the rain held off and the show was awesome by all accounts. Tonight I'd say be prepared for anything. The seats in the 100s are pretty well covered. The 200s and lawn, not so much.

    I love the rain and will take it any time...except during a show. Question is, how well did the Furthur show at Shoreline go last night? Anybody there? I'm supposed to go to the show tonight, which is why I'm asking. I don't suppose there is any chance of cancellation?

    it is pouring in the Bay Area, which pretty much exceeds one's reasonable sense of humor on the subject... C'mon, it's JUNE!!

    my vet
    is super conscientious about foxtails because he had a dog DIE from an unsuspected one that worked its way into the dog's brain. My Callie in her younger days celebrated each spring by inhaling a foxtail. Now that she's old I'm really hoping to avoid it. I'm also hoping Cash avoids her snorking ways. It's tough though; right now our neighborhood is full of the darn things.

    I had to take my dog to the vet last year to pull out a handful of those damn things from her paws. The wounds got infected and the whole bit... "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

    Marye, your description doesn't evoke the mental picture that I usually get when I see the words "dog" and "minefield" used in the same sentence. Especially my dogs in relation to the minefield that they create in my back yard...actually, THEIR back yard. 80s yesterday in NC, a front came through and now we're in the 60s and sunny. Better than those tornado weather patterns of the past couple of weeks.

    yeah...
    it's pretty darn nice here in Oakland too. The only thing I can find to complain about is that it's brought out the foxtails, which is a bummer from the dogs' point of view, because it's making a lot of their favorite spots a real minefield for the next few months. (Foxtails, for those not familiar with the grasses for which we can apparently blame the conquistadors, are spiky, barbed grass awns programmed by evolution to work their way up every canine orifice that presents itself, and create a few new ones, to the tune of much anguish and $$$. Wheat, basically, though oats are no treat in this regard either.)

Bobba, where are you? It's a beautiful spring day in Oakland and everything's still very green and clean because we've had a ton of rain over the last month or so. We could always use more however.

and it's been over a day since any posts so let's see...hmm, well, a cold front has pushed through and the sun is out, a little windy, temp. just over 50 degrees. The ospreys are back and you can see em flying back to their nests with big sticks and stuff, they tend to use the same nests each year but build back up any damage winter storms may have caused. They fish in the ocean and the river. Saw one sittin up in a tree last year with a salmon! Speaking of which, springer salmon are starting to show up and people have been catching them for a couple weeks. Grass is green, flowers and bushes blooming and trees budding. goin where the wind goes bloomin like a red rose

Finally it has started to rain new leaves are coming out and my favorite wild flower is blooming the "Spider wort" It is a royal blue with two little yellow dots and grows in wet areas. I plant them in big clusters in my yard. The Florida Privet has its fruits on the tree and the birds go crazy eating them. I try to have as many bushes and trees that produce fruit for birds.Birds get very territorial and at times I will have gangs of jays, mocking birds. wax wings, cat birds and orioles all eating and chasing each other. Plus lots and lots of butterflies and bees. We of course have started to warm up almost hitting 90 for several days. Thank goodness we are getting probably our last true cold front on Tuesday it will drop into the 50's and I plan to go to Loop Road which takes you through 40 miles of Everglades. I wrote a poem about Loop Road in the early days of the Poetry thread. I hope I get the new "Going to Terrapin" in time for the trip. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

...yesterday in some parts of Oregon. It hit 111 degrees in Cave Junction. But if you drove down the highway for an hour you'd be on the coast with the temperature 50 degrees cooler under sunny skies. It didn't get out of the 60's where I live. Come to think of it, I've never gotten out of the 60's!

in the milder climate of France..low 30's C rain every few days. The temp in Turkmenistan reached a maximum of 52C (130F) while I was there. Insane heat. The a/c in my hotel broke down one night and I slept in front of the open door of the minibar fridge!

starsleeper asked if I was in the military...not I am not, but I have been doing environmental work in the 'Stans on and off for more than 10 years now. My recent experiences with the insane heat in Central Asia really make me feel for those service people living in the desert in tents and sheds and metal vehicles. Must be hard to keep it together in such conditions along with all the other crap they have to deal with. Hydrate , hydrate.

Here with a 70F dew point...hot and sticky! It's the time of year in the South where you just dart from air-conditioned space to air-conditioned space. I only see my neighbors when the sun is down.

and it seems to be quite the gully-washer, with numerous power outages reported. The scary thing is the probable impact on the burned-out hills in the Santa Cruz Mountains, which are expected to slide majorly and cause big trouble.

Listening to the 8/13/79 McNichols show on XM: Great Shakedown openner, btw. The show the day before was at Red Rocks, then clouds and rain moved-in dropping summer temps into the 40's and 50's. We were all bummed to have to move indoors....When I lived in Boulder, we had a snowstorm in MAY that dumped 2 feet on us! Today, KC is about to get rained on big-time...still warm tho.

Negative 5 right now. If it was any warmer it would probably be just dumping snow. its been lightly snowing since saturday but too cold to unleash a big one "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."
