Summer
Purdy, ain’t it? Froze beans yesterday. That would be yesterday, August 15th. You are correct in thinking that ain’t right. Details to follow.
Tiger is not coming out today
124° seems a little over the top if you ask me. And yet… Plus… That’s a Wunderground station about six miles from the Farm. Let me also say that beyond the obvious of 11 degrees, 113, 124– what’s the difference?
Big Life Bullet Points
We are cucumber rich. I used this phrase in a conversation with Joanie at SuperLu this morning. She laughed. (SuperLu is the grocery store SuperValu. The “Va” on the sign on the side of the building were burnt out for a long time, hence, SuperLu.) I may drop in with a small bag of cukes
Turn Around. Don’t Drown.
That’s what NOAA Weather Radio is telling me this morning.
Safe from the Storm
You won’t believe it! Thunderstorm.
Radar, Satellite, and Eyes
These are RadarScope (RS) screen shots captured between 10:04 and 10:05 this morning. To orient you, we’re going west to east beginning with the southern most states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, then again west to east one notch further north. While is is true that the center of the low pressure system that is/was

in me is thoroughly confused. More to come, you can count on it.
NOLA LOL
Looks like it’s raining a little. https://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/?cam=catsmeow2

Potential Tropical Cyclone Two …DISTURBANCE IS NOT A DEPRESSION YET BUT EXPECTED TO BE ONE SOON… …STORM SURGE, HEAVY RAINS, AND HURRICANE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF COAST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS… Citations after I’ve had coffee. Mr. Big Food tells me Drudge is on it.
Hurricane Watch Issued
Just a few minutes ago. Right now we’re forecast to get some wind and rain. Here’s the thing that occurred to me. They have issued a hurricane watch. But it is still “POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE TWO.” They are bored or super confident in the models. Rest assured I will monitor this and provide commentary.
Potential Tropical Cyclone Two
It’s almost like the weather folks are bored. No matter. Patio and outdoor kitchen are buttoned up except for a few plants on the picnic table. Bunkhouse is tidied up and ready to receive occupants should we have to bug out of the Big House. Frankly, I’m not seeing it. The low pressure of the
98°F | 57% | 121° HI
So I’ve been seeing these crazy numbers, having fun with them, but thinking they can’t possibly be correct– just like those 197 lightening strikes in the past 48 hours. But apparently it really does feel like 121 out there. I will not be engaged in any strenuous activity. Just for sh*ts & giggles, I took

The track of any lingering remnants becomes
HURRICANE!!!
Simmer down. I happened to watch the weather forecast on the television set with Mr. Big Food this morning. I kid you not, Joel said something like, “It’s July in Mississippi. You already know what I’m going to say.” And sure enough, we did. Hot. Humid. Heat Index over 100. The news is there’s a
I’m betting more than likely
Though by the look of the raw radar, I think we’ll miss the very worst of it. Gotta say, all of my weather stuff is crackling with lightening.
Brok-Brok-Brok-

Holy S*^t!
Carry on.
