But that weather guy says "hold on its gonna get colder" ....brrrrrrrr !
I went for a 8.9 mile hike at LBJ National Grasslands. Even with a hat, I got sun-kissed. It was great temp wise. I was geared up in hiking gear. I layer shirts and thought to remove one after lunch, but never did. It was about 72 degrees when I finished. Sadly, every old stock ponds except one was totally dry. The one just had a bit of water in them. Drought.... The Forest Service has stock tanks that have well water so animals are all fine The FS wasn't running any cattle on the grasslands just now. Saw a few Bow Hunters walking around. October is Bow deer season here in Texas. I suspect they were just looking for where they would try late or early in the day as in the middle of the day, the deer are all laying under a tree in the back country, fast asleep. Even on my back country loop, I didn't see any. Saw EVIDENCE of a lot of deer and thankfully, the hogs looked like they moved elsewhere.
Just a great day for a long walk.
Perfect here in Vegas. 84 degrees, clear and sunny, no humidity, no bugs, just perfect! Eat your hearts out east, mid-west and southerners! lol
First official snow flakes recorded at O'Hare Airport yesterday.

Woke up again to mid 60s weather, this is not normal in FL mid October.
Looked at the Ye Old Famers Almanac and they predict this, y'all get ready:
Winter for much of the Midwest and along the East Coast is best described as "Shivery & Snowy." The eastern half of the U.S. should brace for potentially record-breaking cold to define the season. This frigid forecast extends to the Deep South and Texas, which could see the mercury diving as much as 8°F below normal! Specifically:
Winter temperatures will be colder than normal across much of the country between the East Coast and Rockies. Snowfall will be greater than normal from central New England through northern North Carolina, from the Lower Great Lakes and the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the southern Plains, from the northern Plains into eastern Washington, and across the higher terrain of the southern Rockies and California.Freezing temperatures will also bring above-average snow totals to most areas in the eastern U.S. that typically experience snowfall.
Just more of that "Global Warming" some folks have been talking about for years... :) ::)

32F here this a.m. and will get into the mid-20 lows for the next few days. Headed to VIR to instruct at an HPDE this week-end but won't take a car to run since I don't want to ruin a perfectly good set of race tires. Most high-performance tire manufacturers warn that temps below 40F can weaken the sidewalls.

I worked in hell at a glass factory where the temperature could reach 5 to 600 degrees in front of the machine and then I moved to hell. . Gets a little warm around here in the summer.

a friend of mine who relocated to the center of the states just sent me these photos, stating that it's going to be a beautiful white Christmas.
I replied, see you relocated again how the real estate market in Narnia ?
So sorry that we won't be having a white Christmas this year is S FL.....
hooooooo doggie, Christmas about to get real !
Over night: 66 degrees. Going up to 81 degrees today with clear skies and light winds 10-15 mph. Snow on Mauna Kea, Surf on Oahu north shore running 10-15 feet (surf contests underway), south shore 2-5 feet. Another day in paradise, except at airports. Yawn. 8)

Well although I am not a hillbillie, redneck or good ol boy. I am honored to know and associate with quite a few.
All I can say is what an honor to be one.
What I have seen is their values, including love and respect for nature, strong work ethic, generosity toward neighbors and those in need, family ties, self-reliance, resiliency, and a simple lifestyle.

Or one of the 100,000 DDT laden lobsters taken annually off SoCal:
California's coastal waters are home to a multitude of invertebrates. The California spiny lobster takes a particularly special place within this group as a highly sought-after target of both California's recreational and commercial fisheries. Recreational lobster season opens in October and closes in March.
From the 1930s to early 1970s, companies were allowed to dispose of chemicals off the California coast. One of those chemicals, DDT, is a synthetic insecticide developed in the 1940s and banned in 1972 for its detrimental impacts on humans and wildlife. Decades later, scientists have found that the pesticide remains in high concentrations on the ocean floor and has never broken down.
Following the recent discovery that up to 500,000 barrels of the banned pesticide DDT were dumped into the Pacific Ocean off Southern California,
Montrose employees transported barrels of DDT and acid sludge waste from the company's Torrance, Calif. facility to barges, where they were dumped into the ocean near Santa Catalina Island. The massive ocean dumping site was discovered by scientists in 2020.
There are also more shallow areas off the Palos Verdes coast and at the mouth of the Dominguez Channel that have been known DDT hot spots for decades.

They don't dump anything off of Maine's coast. Not even the bodies of missing Mafiosos. In Florida, you just dump them in a sink hole...good for the mob but not for the Corvettes.
The water temps just recently measured off the coast of Miami were around 96°F. That is so high it is killing the corals, turning them pure white when they die.
Lobsters are true bottom scavengers and prefer cool water.
As far as pollutants in the food supply, if you check the EPA's maximum recommended consumption of Tuna, it is something of the order of 1 individual serving per week because of mercury poisoning.
When I was still taller, many years ago, the discussions about what caused the fall of certain civilizations, the mention of Rome brought up the lead content of consumed liquids caused by the absorption of said liquids stored in un-glazed clay potteries.
I'm wondering now if hopefully in the very distant future, when scientists attempt to analize the fall of the "American Experiment", cultural changes like those currently being seen in Florida are not on the list.

Good to get the opinion of a professional chef :
Charlie Tuna is dead due to lead poisoning
"Lobster prefer cool water" so you have been talking to lobster's?
Lobsters dont care what temperatures they are in, until you boil em and they scream.

A totally unexpected GM design consideration for sure. Chevy could make a nice commercial out of that.
Not only do you have to look out for 'gators and snakes suddenly coming out of the water, now Corvettes as well! Seems subversive to me. Maybe the FBI should investigate? Maybe it only happens in Florida? Desantis should love it...part of the "tourism attractions".
