The normal October 10 temperatures at our Bayfield station are a low of 37 and a high of 55. With a low of 55.9 and a high of 88.5 so far…fair to say that today is above average.
Chart showing that the average October 10 temperatures for Bayfield range between 37 and 55.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

It would be revolutionary to have a Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez ticket.

Let's be clear. Nearly 2,000 people can storm the Capitol, threaten to kill a Vice President, attempt to overthrow the government and assault police officers. And they're pardoned. And may get paid. An Air Force Major can quietly protest at the same Capitol. He's arrested, his career's in jeopardy.

Ohioans are putting $10 in the gas tank at a time while members of Congress make $635 million trading stocks. You’re pinching every penny while Congress is cashing in. That’s a problem.

To be clear, as a white male who has lived here in the states for 56 years, we're facing a new civil war brought about by racism. I will stand with the disfranchised. I will stand with the kids too young to understand. I'll stand with every person, regardless of gender identity, or skin color.

Altocumulus castellanus, ACCUS. Namers thought it looked like castle walls. It's a mid level cloud, 9000 ft in this case, that indicates instability in the mid-levels. Sometimes a precursor to thunderstorms.

I've been thinking this for years. Unlimited capitalism is both unsustainable and deadly. You cannot grow indefinitely, and socializing externalities like pollution, societal disruption, and extreme inequality while hoarding profits is a scam on everyone.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Took to the House floor today because in just 2 weeks, 22 million Americans will see their premiums explode if Republicans refuse to act. After 15 years, Republicans still have no plan — just higher costs and less coverage.

Amongst all going on tonight, I post this radar velocity image. No weather, just the last of bird migration. The radar is the little black circle in the middle. All the birds in green above where the radar is are heading south. Those below it in red are also heading south.

In the world of weird: Chewy has commercials featuring doggos Homer, Radar, and Dash. We had Homer, who passed in 2015, then adopted Radar in 2019. This year, we adopted Dash. Homer and Dash were not named by us. Sometimes, the neighbor's labradoodle comes to play with the boys. Her name is Chewy.
