The Coffee House

I plan to wrap myself in bubble wrap and wear a football helmet to the next practice.

Have them use tennis balls until they get the hang of it.

@Jason & Terri and all you photogs in Irma's path. Take care, be safe, be overly prepared and overly cautious ... and don't forget the extra batteries.

 

[limr34 3]

Yeah, what Gary said!

Yes, FL and other southern TPF folks, stay safe!! Don't take unnecessary chances and if you're given the evacuation order please get out don't wait.

In a lucky coincidence most of my FL family will be here in MA for the next week. They have battened down the hatches, boarded the dogs with friends and put the lawn furniture in the pool.

The heat wave has broke, still some lingering humidity ... but overall warm and pleasant.

You'd like it here!! Bounced out of the house this morning shortly after daylight for my morning walk with Sadie. Short sleeve shirt, no jacket, WTH was I thinking. It was COLD. Temperature over night had dropped to 45. Fastest 2 mile walk we've done in awhile!!!

Hey hosers.

My sister and brother-in-law live in Jacksonville. They are heading inland to higher ground. Or as high as you can get in Florida, flat as it is. Fingers are crossed for them.

LOL ... nighttime temps only drop into the mid 60's here. At the bowl on Wednesday, Gary was quite comfortable in a lightweight knit long sleeve shirt and Mary Lou went sleeveless ... but don't use Mary Lou as a barometer, her nervous system doesn't react to cold like a normal human. It may break 80F today, presently 66F.

Fingers crossed for the Southeasterners. Then Mexico gets a double whammy with the earthquake and Hurricane Katia's impending landfall tonight.
Lazy_lobster is back in town for the weekend (Wedding tomorrow). They haz a 4x5 view camera for the semester.

@smoke: When Gary lived on the peninsula, August night time temps would drop into the 50's at night. We would bundle up in jackets, blankets, scarves and knit hats to watch the evening events at the Pt. Fermin Amphitheatre. The amphitheatre is on top of a 100' high cliff steps away from the Pacific.

This is Pt. Fermin Park which is home to LA's first lighthouse. That wall in the background, separates the park from a 100' drop onto rocks, tide pools and the cold Pacific Ocean. On the right is the red tile roof of the offices and restrooms of the amphitheatre.

A Midsummer's Night Dream at the amphitheatre.

The sun setting before the show, viewed from the amphitheatre.

Wow, Patriots didn't go undefeated, lol.

 

[Gary A.]

Gary ain't sayin' nuthin' as the Dodgers lost again ... no joy in Mudville.

 

[Gary A.]

But, as of today, the PAC 12 is 12-0, undefeated in football.
