1st 2024 Presidential Debate - 6/27/2024 on CNN
Isn't this a little early as they aren't even "official" candidates yet? Well, they are official candidates at this point: Candidates for their parties' nominations. ;) But I take your point (and I somewhat agree), in June they'll both still be "presumptive nominees," and not ac...

Anyone over 65, and others, can get another Covid vaccine now. I got mine last week. I think I read only 3 percent of those eligible have received the most recent one.

The tornado was declared an F2, which is a little higher than I was expecting. It was on the ground for ten minutes and damaged quite a few homes and buildings in three different municipalities, all in my usual stomping grounds. The church that was first hit had about 100 people in it when it hit wi...

Yeah, the diamond market is highly rigged. Diamonds are fairly common, found nearly all over the world, including the USA. It was a massive marketing job done by De Beers, aided by Hollywood.

Nice! I've seen the northern lights before, in Alaska and Norway. These did not match the ones in Alaska, but were better than the ones in Norway, and I was really surprised at just how nice these were. I was not expecting much, and they far exceeded my expectations. We just went across the street t...

Just had my first experience with a tornado. It's been storming for two days (cleared enough for northern lights sighting last night). Got my first warning on my watch, closely followed on other devices. Local news was on, so they covered it moment by moment until it was over. Heavy rain, hail above...

I'm having a vague recollection there may have been an auto museum there.

I think he had a closer relationship with them than his dad. I think he spent a lot of time with them, maybe even lived with them off and on,

I took photos of the green and pink lights. I have a northern lights photo app that I put on my phone when we were going to Iceland in the winter, but my photos taken on the newest Apple 15 pro are just as good. Not as good as I've seen in Alaska, but not bad for this far south. And I caught some cu...
