Temps got up into the low 90s (F) here yesterday. With a 0% chance of precipitation there were no showers, no storms, and humidity was rather middlin'. We have the same forecast for today. Tomorrow, however, is a different story. Humidity is going to creep back into the area and our chance of showers and storms goes up to 40%. In fact that % is stuck in the mid 40 percentile range for the next few days, that is unless Chantal changes course slightly.
I did get an 8 mile bicycle ride in yesterday morning before heading out to work. It was fine. I listened to a Linkin Park playlist. They were one of my favorite groups until Chester Bennington drank half a bottle of whiskey and committed suicide. Thinking about someone doing something so stupid pissed me off so much I stopped listening to them. I think enough time has passed, besides, they have a new lead singer and she's rather good.
And, being that it is the weekend, I also worked. For a Saturday, business was slow. I did bring up the subject of empty spaces beginning to clutter up our shelves with several people, one of whom works in our garden department. The main thread of all of these conversations was that the number of products we are able to sell is declining. This is a direct result of tariffs. The only trade agreement that has been signed is with Vietnam and what to we import from Vietnam? The Switch, a gaming console is our biggest import. That's going to make the economy great.
Remember Harold Lutnick? He's the billionaire jerk who was made Secretary of Commerce. He's also the man who said cutting 600-800 jobs in the NWS (National Weather Service) was not going to hurt us. It's estimated that and additional 1200 to 1400 hundred positions were cut in NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); weather forecasters who deal with hurricane predictions. The decision to eliminate all of these jobs falls directly on the shoulders of Trump. He is now a murderer, not that he wasn't before, and the body count is going to continue.
A friend recently returned from a cruise that went from Seattle through the Panama Canal. She said the number of cargo ships was shockingly small everywhere they went. It’s an historical, record breaking level of craziness.The OA is beyond insane.
