COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

Did I say it remains HOT ??? n HUMID ??? here in Maryland, even overnight temps are setting records.?

 

[Maro2Bear]

Is it at least more pay?

An extra 45 min commute here in the DC metro area is another normal commute. Or just an accident on the Beltway.

Why does he look like he has some purple on his shell? Is it just the lighting angle of the camera?

I looked at the pix again, that “purplish” color is where water has dried in between the scutes. So in the pix, that area took on a different look.

I think i might give ol Sully a bit of a coconut oil rub today if it’s not too hot. Wifey said be careful, we don't want to baste her.

I put this link in the hurricane preparedness thread, but I wanted to share it here too. I'd been wondering for years if the maps with the various models forecasting possible tracks for tropical cyclones was publicly available online, and I just became aware of this particular resource this morning.

For this morning's exercise, scroll down to Invest 92L.

Remember, when it comes to weather modeling, All disclaimers apply. Those maps with the spaghetti forecast tracks all over the place are just a bunch of (really smart) computers making educated guesses about what's going to happen... weather-wise.

I don't have one and the neighbour's neighbour's property is empty. There is no one staying there, so it would be difficult to graft it on the tree. I should try that method they have of putting a ball of peat moss around a cut in the branch and wrap it with cling wrap. I wonder if it work on a branch taken off the tree already?

I know my mother used to use a product that was like a paste to promote root growth. She would apply that then moss and cling wrap. I imagine a garden center might carry the product.

Thank you, I saved the link to my phone. I usually cut and run when there is a hurricane near. But with the virus and Opo. I guess we will stay put unless there is a mandatory evacuation.

In each of our ways, I think we sort of know. We don't know everything, we don't need to know everything, but we have an idea. I think the CDR has pulled a lot of people through a lot of rough patches...and that's part of why it exists.

I think it's one of the key reasons this thread has taken on a life of its own... because, despite its name, there's an abundance of warmth and light here in the Cold Dark Room.

Truth to what you have said
You all have been a major part of keeping me from staying in my hole in the wall!?

If your county has to deal with a hurricane this year, the locations and/or nature of the shelters will probably be different than usual (due to COVID). That kind of planning is done at a county level. If you're curious about what to expect, take advantage of the current "lull" (or dull roar, take your pick) and contact county emergency management. Let them know you're trying to do some pre-planning and want to make sure you know what you and your household (Opo included) need to do if there's a hurricane threat locally this season.

She’s such a diva lol. She can see pumpkin where her viv is and just looks. I had her out this morning and shown her. She was pretty curious as to what was in the viv next to her. She looks and tilts her head. I love it when they do that haha. I’m pretty lucky she has never been nasty. I’ve been hands on since I had her from more or less a hatchling.
