But Jim Cantore is in Gulfport, Mississippi!!!!!
For our overseas contingent, Jim Cantore is an "extreme weatherman." He IS a fully trained and qualified meteorologist and he works for The Weather Channel. He is famous for always going DIRECTLY to the site of the expected impact to report and demonstrate rather dramatically what it's like to be at the storm site. It's become a standard joke that if Jim Cantore comes to your town, GET OUT OF TOWN, NOW!!!!!!!!
I shall not be inviting him for cheese and tea, i don't think.But Jim Cantore is in Gulfport, Mississippi!!!!!

A wise move!
Actually, all kidding aside, he is apparently a pretty nice guy. He's very good at explaining complicated weather physics in ways that are more easily understood.
He's also had a rather challenging life: His first wife developed Parkinson's Disease, and their 2 children both have Fragile X Syndrome. That is an inherited disorder which causes mental retardation and severe social challenges. Although he and his wife divorced (and he's dating someone new) he very actively and openly supports Parkinson's Research Foundation as well as foundations that support research on Fragile X Syndrome.
We all have so much to be grateful for.
Even though we won't know where Hurricane Nate will hit, for sure, we are definitely in the cone of impact, so I am off to do preparatory chores.
Love to all roomies.

Indeed we do.A wise move!

We are so fortunate
I studied meteorology in my first year at uni. It's a nightmare, no wonder they're wrong half the time.
You take care, Bea.Even though we won't know where Hurricane Nate will hit, for sure, we are definitely in the cone of impact, so I am off to do preparatory chores.
Love to all roomies.
And my best wishes to everyone in the path of this storm. What an awful year for these hurricanes and storms.
I never heard that word. My relatives used the word schwartz.
It sounds like he is basking and he is so comfortable he falls asleep. Maybe he isn't comfortable with the light off.Thanks the advise Sabine.
You'll be surprised if I tell you this: you advised me to keep the light on a week ago, I think. Well, I did. However....when I put on his light, Oli falls asleep and stretches his legs meaning he's relaxing. When the light is off Oli remains wide awake!
Thank you, Ed! I couldn't miss the calendar contest
I wonder if that's the word they used in the German translation of "Othello". There's a similar word, "mavr", in the Russian translation. Meaning Moor, or "Moroccan" @Tidgy's Dad
SNAP!!!
Roommates, please tag me when the contest results are posted. I'm very off or very behind with my count.
Yes, from "Blackamoor", all very interesting.I wonder if that's the word they used in the German translation of "Othello". There's a similar word, "mavr", in the Russian translation. Meaning Moor, or "Moroccan" @Tidgy's Dad
I shall.Roommates, please tag me when the contest results are posted. I'm very off or very behind with my count.
They could have left a message, "Thank you to all those who entered the Calendar Contest and thank you to everyone who voted" and then a message explaining what is going on and that there would seem to be a vote off to look out for later.
Still, we must wait patiently for the results, I guess.
Hi hope you are fine.
Thanks very much your help. Appreciate it.
He has kept me somewhat worried.
Good evening Lena, hope yo are well.Thank you, Ed! I couldn't miss the calendar contest
"Schwarz" means "black" though without the letter "T." Right, @Bee62 ?
