We don't want to hear about wildfires and heatwaves,
Or other scary stuff,
Things falling apart and breaking
We've really had enough

We just want to go through life,
without the slightest clue
We just want happy thoughts,
so sorry, I guess we've got to block you.

(alas, a poem for people who have unfollowed me, LOL)

Well, here you go, if you're concerned about heatwaves (surviving one!) here's a great guide on creating cool rooms: https://basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/creating-cool-room-extreme-heat-events#edit-group-description

@cy Here's also a guide on how to recognize Heat Cramps, Exhaustion, and Stroke https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-illness
uring extremely hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged. When the body heats too rapidly to cool itself properly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, body temperature rises and you or someone you care about may experience a heat-related illness. It is important to know the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a list of warning signs and symptoms of heat illness, and recommended first aid steps. Some of these symptoms and steps are listed below.
Heat Cramps


Heat cramps may be the first sign of heat-related illness, and may lead to heat exhaustion or stroke.

    Symptoms: Painful muscle cramps and spasms usually in legs and abdomen and Heavy sweating.
    First Aid: Apply firm pressure on cramping muscles or gently massage to relieve spasm. Give sips of water unless the person complains of nausea, then stop giving water. 

    Seek immediate medical attention if cramps last longer than 1 hour.

Heat Exhaustion

    Symptoms: Heavy sweating, Weakness or tiredness, cool, pale, clammy skin; fast, weak pulse, muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, headache, fainting,
    First Aid: Move person to a cooler environment, preferably a well air conditioned room. Loosen clothing. Apply cool, wet cloths or have person sit in a cool bath. Offer sips of water. If person vomits more than once,

My question of the day is that when Harris does get elected, her title will be "Madam President," correct? Is it all right to address letters to her as "Ms. Harris"?
Etiquette is such a sticky thing. it'll take some getting used to. At least the "Your excellency" won't have to change!

With several large fires spreading across the Pacific Northwest, we will see an uptick in smoke across the upper Midwest. Over the weekend, it will be noticeable but probably not terrible. Depending on the spread of wildfires over the weekend, wind patterns next week will be such that it will almost be a direct route for the smoke to spread into the region. We'll keep an eye on it, but early indications are that next week could be bad. #wiwx #wildfire

Rivet Joint sends its regards:

UK Leads Crimean Air Reconnaissance Operations Against Russian Air Defenses
A Royal Air Force Boeing RC-135W aircraft operating over the Black Sea on Wednesday played cat and mouse with Russian forces for almost four hours as it probed Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula air defenses. [...] Two RAF Typhoon Eurofighters launched from Mihail Kogălniceanu airport, a NATO air base near the Romanian port city of Constanta, tailed the Rivet Joint, flying escort patterns ranging close-in, at 50 kilometers (31 miles) distance, flight data showed.

Typically, the surveillance aircraft has a 20–25-person flight crew and equipment technicians. The last time NATO mounted a deep penetration manned flight towards Crimea, was on June 28, when an RAF RC-135 operated some 200 kilometers from the occupied peninsula.

Well, this time they got down to 90km distance.
At the same time as the Rivet Joint headed out from the Romanian coast, the usually little-used airspace was being used by a US Navy Poseidon maritime patrol plane, three Romanian civil air helicopters flying search and rescue patterns, and a civil Airbus 321 airliner flying, a little strangely, in tight circles with no apparent clear destination.

If that was a civilian Airbus you can call me Shirley.

When employees have brought concerns re reports of missing paychecks & repeated, sometimes fatal, incidents of armed robberies to the co’s attention, corporate -locked them out of HG +tossed out 450 worker-signed petitions.

W/o a way for co-approved recourse, some workers in Columbia, SC, began a series of concerted worker actions with a walkout last July, to demand an end to a co policy -forces workers to buy a WH meal, each shift.

High temperatures in and around Alaska on Thursday. Another hot day for central and eastern portions of the North Slope, Brooks Range and northern Yukon Territory. Deadhorse high temperature of 80F (26.7C) is a record high for the date. Much cooler over southwest mainland Alaska than earlier in the week. #akwx #weather @Climatologist49

Taking a picture of Zaha. The camera doesn’t have a viewfinder but relies on incredibly janky live view that eats up batteries. The lens can be tilted so you can see the screen better as off-angle viewing is impossible.

An old friend from back in the day just released a new tune. Bill Wood was a rocker back in the 80’s with Juno nominated Eye-Eye. I knew Bill when he and his wife ran a weekly community dinner and food bank for street kids at an Out of the Cold program. Heart of gold that man. He’s still writing music and singing - more rockabilly country now with his friends living out in PEC. This tune is Big Wheels, tells a story of “progress” in small towns. #indiemusic #Canadian

Huh. #TIL a galleon wrecked on the Oregon Coast in the 1600s. Historians finally figured out which one it was because indigenous people kept bringing huge blocks of beeswax to Astoria to trade, and "[o]nly the Spanish traded beeswax across the Pacific in large quantities, which was needed to make candles for churches in their colonies in the Americas."
