COLD DARK ROOM

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

The tortoises have been inside for a while now, the last thing I want is them getting breathing problems out there.

Rabid’s even better.

Good cause I have what I call a rabid wabbit.??named Razberri.

That’s terrible, I know I have asthma and whenever I go outside now, I get coughing fits and have to go back in. The smoke was so thick a couple days ago that I could see the whole grey fog everywhere.

I saw where you are. Are you dealing with some of the smoke from California or is it where you are also and we're just not getting the news about fires in your neck of the woods? They did show that the smoke can be seen from satellite photos around California.

We have been getting lot’s of smoke from California, but we don’t have any fires in Black Forest right now. We‘ve had some big fires the biggest one being in 2013, that’s the one where we got evacuated.

We also are getting smoke from a fire in the Rocky Mountains, it’s bad up there.

Yep, record amount of lightning strikes hit California starting a whole ton of these fires....

News reporting - California fire officials said Saturday that there have been nearly 12,000 lightning strikes in the state since August 15, with over 100 occurring on Friday. Thousands of firefighters are fighting two of the three largest outbreaks of wildfires in history, which were started by the dry lightning strikes.

While there is no good reason, that explanation satisfies me a bit more than just simple carelessness!

That's what I thought that it was probably California causing your problem with smoke. That's crazy but it does travel a long way. Also even when the fire is out it continues to smell bad for a long time. I went through some fires in Florida. Hope everyone stays safe out there.

I'm hoping our members in Texas and Louisiana are ready for (Major) Hurricane Laura.

Me too. I've been watching and praying especially for that area... but... Believe it or not those storms affect Ohio too.

I glue wounds with super glue all the time. They use it in the operating room when you want a very delicate closure without any suture lines. Course I’m not using sterile stuff but then again my wound isn’t exactly sterile when I’m going on it either so really don’t care.

wow! I didn’t know that!?? I am getting my gallbladder out September 18th
Doc says it will only be 4 small cuts....
Could I ask him to use glue to close them?
Or will he think I am nuts??? (Cuz I kiiinda am.) ?

Okay. I had to go searching last night for a battery for my car spare remote. So I only arrived home late last night. So here is a picture last night in the dark and then I took another one this morning. But I must admit the pictures don't do it justice.

That looks great! I hope the anti social people among you leave it alone now.

This is California's wildfire location map. I thought California was going to break off from the continent during a large earthquake and fall into the ocean, but from the map, it looks like we're going to burn up instead.

If you squint and look hard, you can see a darker ring around the edges of the Valley where Fresno and Sacramento are. I'd love to see a picture of the valley from space, because from down here on the ground, it's filled with smoke.

My nephew lives in Las Vegas and he said they can't see the fores but the smoke is affecting them too.

Oh, I'm a bit late today.
Good atternoonyeve, Racy Roommates!
Today is Kiss and Make Up Day!
I guess I'll have to start an argument with wifey first.

Aw in that case I'd better pop around to see the neighbours............NOT!!!!!

 

[Lyn W]

You made me go back and read my post, because I was sure that I did not say I wasn't wearing pants. I think if I had not been wearing pants and considering that I was working on a public road, I just might not have been able to get the garden done. I would have been in big trouble. ???

.....and someone may have thought they could park their bike there,

Good Mornynoon, Rockin' Roommates!
Today is National Toilet Paper Day in the USA.
Does this mean many don't use it the rest of the year?
Or is this to encourage those who've been hoarding it to gift it to their neighbours?
Or to make something from toilet paper - like a scale model of the Taj Mahal?

I don't think National Toilet day is all it's cracked up to be,

Question? How do you handle when you meet someone like my wife. Her default reaction is just to go silent and stare. Years ago at work her boss went off on her for no reason and she did just that and when he finished she asked, "Are you finished" when he said yes she walked away. 1 hour later her boss apologized and steered clear of my wife for almost a year until she quit. OMG my wife had no clue what was so creepy/scary about her reaction. After numerous serial killer movies, Documentaries and her new crush Serial Killer Podcasts----- she understands that the other person got scared that she was going through a mental checklist for the perfect crime ?

Good for her! He probably thought the little lady would burst into tears and make him feel like a dominant ,male.

Maybe see if Google can help?

 

[Lyn W]

Very interesting. I hope it works. Strange they don't include any instructions/suggestions. See if my friend Google can help.

Snap!

Good afternoon/morning all.
It is a very wet day here - wish I could send it in the direction of all those US wildfires.
I'm busy doing nothing, Lola has decided to stay in his heated house and not attempted to go out today.
I think this week has gone really quickly considering I've not done a lot.
It's a bank holiday in the UK on Monday and I think the weather is settling down for that.
Our schools start back on Tuesday amid a lot of fear and trepidation about whether covid will affect the kids and teachers and how the classrooms will be best managed. Seems to me parents are worrying about that yet they've allowed their kids to hang around in big gangs without any social distancing so I think controlled spaces will be letter risky for them.
This will be the first Sept in my life when I don't have to go back to school! It will seem very strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!!
Hope you are all having a good Thursday.
