More of the same here, still humid AF! Thunderstorms are supposed to come through tomorrow. I just hope they are the kind that lowers the temp and humidity rather than the short ones that raise the humidity.

Same. Over 100°F again.

Do you wear moisture wicking shirts? If not I highly recommend them. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have survived this week wearing cotton.

Maybe TMI but my underwear are also moisture wicking and I won't wear anything else.

I just saw the coolest fireworks display ever.

Just the usual day-early Manteno, IL show, except for a thunderstorm was moving into the area.

There was a low cloud cover & not only did some of the big bright flashes illuminate the clouds, but the clouds were illuminating themselves via heat lightning.

The lightning was mostly cloud-to-cloud stuff, very intense but no rain. The clouds were flickering all over the place, with the fireworks in the middle of the scene.

I didn't record any video because it was a 360° panoramic light show that simply couldn't be contained in a 16:9 widescreen. And 99.9% of the audience for such a thing would be listening to it with cell phone speakers so what's the point?

I'll check out the local Facebook groups later to see if anyone posted videos that are globally shareable.

Where does it wick the moisture to? Is there a drain hose running down your leg?
I can't figure how they could evaporate it into the air unless you're running around with no pants on over them.

That sounds awesome.

The way it works is it doesn't absorb moisture so the sweat can evaporate away from your skin.

My jeans do get pretty soaked though. They aren't moisture wicking.

In really hot swamp-ass weather it's probably best just to wear swim trunks.

So, you are sitting at a table on break, and some person plunks their ass down at the same table. Doesn't say hello or may I join you or nothing. Just plunks their ass down and says nothing.
There was 8 other tables with no one sitting at them.
What kind of person is this?

The fuck is wrong with these people these days?

I don't mind sharing a table and I get that you may not want to converse (conversate).
But you at least say hello.

 

[Rigjockey]

There is only one covered table under a kind of like a gazebo type thing. If someone else is there that I don't know then I will take another table.
If it is raining and someone is at the table under the gazebo type thing that I don't know well, I will walk up and say...
How's it goin' EH?
Mind if I sit at your table out of the rain, Eh?
Every time they say, no problem have a seat Eh. So, how's your day going so far Eh?
Not too bad Eh.

Manners matter. It's part of our culture in the western world.

While I am on a rant here...
I can't stand people on speaker phone talking loudly. I also can't stand people playing videos on their phone on speaker.

For some reason this Nepalese guy was pacing around me talking loudly on speaker phone in a foreign language.
So, I broke rule #2 and started playing a video on speaker.
He finally fucked off away from me because he couldn't hear his caller.

Manners matter! It's part of our culture in the western world.

I strongly agree.

It'a a very different world out there. You and several other people are forever more reminding me why it was a good decision get the hell out of there.

I don't know how you knew he was from Nepal. But I think immigrants should be required to wear name tags with their country of origin on them, so we know where to tell them to go back to.

Lots of smoke here from the wildfires. I had no idea this was happening. I went to bed on Earth and woke up on Mars. The whole sky was red from the smoke.
I had to turn on the T.V. to find out what was going on.
Wildfires. Apparently, there are currently 140 wildfires in Ontario.
That would be shocking except for when you look at the size of Ontario and most of it is just bush.

My apologies if this is affecting our neighbors to the south. I don't really have much control over it.
The good news is by Friday the winds are supposed to be blowing back north were all of this came from.

I didn't know about it until a buddy of mine in Michigan was bitching to me about Canadian smoke fucking up their atmosphere. I told him don't worry the orange man will put a tariff on it directly and if you don't like smoke he can always build another wall.

Of course that reminds me how hard it is to bite my tongue at work when I hear old women say stupid things like. I'm never going back to the states and ingratiating that TRUMP. You know the type.....blames the president of another country for our problems instead of the last 12 years of malicious liberal incompetence that actually did it. They'll believe every bat shit fantasy the CBC can dream up.
