We Could Talk About The Weather

OK, es claro. Now I understand that what happened was basically what I said, the stringer/neutral snapped. Hmmm, nature's car wash, but where I used to live in Union County the air was so thick it could have been raining mud. Snow was worse, the day after it was noticeably dark and in a few days it was covered in black soot. No need for cigarettes, everybody was a smoker. (UGH)

Now that we're back to weather, today was the hottest day of the year peaking out at 95 with 60% humiditity which sent the index well above the century mark, just how well I don't know. And it's usually cooler at the shore? Cooler than WHAT? This was the first day of a long heat wave, it's gonna be roastin' all week at least and those popcorn thunderstorms only make it muggier (double UGH).

You were in Union?
You have my deepest sympathies.

New York City will probably be worse.

WX here is perfect, as usual. Yawn. It gets kind of monotonous some times.

Somebody beat you to it.

Somebody beat you to it.

Seems like someone is always beating me these days.

Better not to go off on it.

Sucks to be in Cheesequake, NJ (courtesy of Accuweather.com).



Real Feel is 108^oF (42^oC) at this QTH right now.

California has earthquakes, New Jersey has Cheesequake. It comes from the Lenape name Chesehohke because they couldn't pronounce Karaoke, and since White settlers couldn't pronounce either they called it Cheesequake. Actually it's part of Matawan but they hang onto the shaking cheese just so out-of-towners can ask WHHHAAAaaa? Since I live a short distance south it's just as hot here and since the south wind has returned it feels like a sauna. For you rail fans, today we had the classic heat related catenary sag around Amtrak Metropark Station so trains slowed to a crawl between Rahway and New Brunswick. The backup caused delays on the NJT North Jersey Coast Line, as of 6:00pm everybody back on schedule.

New York, the only state where Catskill Mountains.
