"Hair Führer" can't rename the whole lake, because the US/Canada border runs through the middle of it. So, technically, he has violated Canada's national sovereignty. I think they should demand his immediate, unconditional surrender. 🇨🇦😉

I refuse to obey "Hair Führer's" Excrement Order. Technically he has violated Canada's sovereign territory, because the border runs across the middle of the lake. I think they should demand our immediate, unconditional surrender. 🇨🇦😉

🌙 Almost total lunar eclipse tonight! Note, the times on the graphic are UTC. Maximum eclipse will occur at about 11:13 CDT. Hopefully, your view won't be obscured by clouds. (You don't need eclipse glasses for this 😉)

I hope your day has gone well. Here is a cumulonimbus cloud over Colorado. 😊

If they were capable of keeping their politics out of otherwise-pleasant family conversation, I would not need to avoid them. When they consistently turn the subject to politics, and why they are right and I am wrong, it's natural to, (in the words of Captain Picard), "Raise Shields".

🌀💦🌨️Tropical Depression Two is in the Gulf. They get official names when they become Tropical Storms/Cyclones, and this one will be called Bertha. Tropical Storm status is reached when maximum sustained winds get to 39 mph. Impacts from this could be heavy rain/flooding along the Gulf Coast.

🌡️🔥Here is the NAM High-Res 3KM forecast model for temperatures Monday July 19. I chose the 3 p.m. CDT view, since the daily high temps often occur in early to mid afternoon. Scale is at the bottom. Let us hope for no power failures I'll post the rest of the country shortly. #heatwave

I have a 50 foot steel tower next to my house, used for weather equipment. I have new sensors to install at the top, for proper wind readings. Here's the climbing harness I bought, cuz I need both hands free to bolt everything together. I'm dedicated to good Meteorology 😊 #weather

🌀Just issued by the NOAA National Hurricane Center. TD2 will become a Tropical Cyclone. That's winds of at least 39 mph (63 km/h). Heavy rain and flooding will likely accompany this storm. You can see it ain't gonna be movin' very quickly. That increases the flooding risk. #hurricane

🥵Unofficial Weather Bulletin: I'm declaring a Gold Bond Powder Alert for all these states Monday. The orange means "Heat Advisory". The purple-ish means "Extreme Heat Warning". Stay hydrated, and in air conditioning or shade. Dumping body powder down your shorts is optional, but recommended. 😆

El Nino is officially here, according to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. What does it mean for your local area? I have no idea. Let me know where you are, and I'll give you a little summary. 😊

He calls them "third rate artists". Wasn't he the one who invited them? 😆

🥰🥳 Happy Birthday Ms. Stevie Nicks! This image is from 2001 in LA. Her record company (then) invited me to a magnificent radio-people-only concert at the RSO Studios. Stevie came to KOSI-FM for a live interview. Got to hang out with her for an HOUR before going live. She's a wonderful soul!

Happy Caturday! Apparently, motivation is overrated today. So, take some time to chill, like Kali, Lt. Barclay, and Tiggie. Unconcerned with... well... anything. 😆🐱

⚡🌀 Quick explanation of what El Niño means for the hurricane season, (on average). Simply put, vertical wind shear is more prevalent over the Caribbean, which tends to chop off storms and can limit the number of hurricanes. We are going into El Niño conditions very soon. Source: NOAA Climate.Gov

First time I've seen one of these at my local gas station. I was no fan of Pres. Biden, and I'm even less of a fan of "Hair Hitler"... in fact, I don't like anyone in DC... either side. They're all crooked millionaires who could not care less about us. But, this gave me a chuckle. 😅

I don't hold ill will toward any NHL hockey team at all. However, I hope my Colorado Avalanche give Vegas a pants-down ass-spanking of Wagnerian proportions tonight in Denver. Too harsh? 🤣🏒#hockey #coloradoavalanche #NHL

Orioles are back in Colorado. They've probably been around for a while, but they found my place. Bird feeder isn't in the image, but the like the hummingbird feeder. 😊

2026 is the 150th anniversary of Colorado's statehood. We became part of the USA on August 1, 1876. These days, like most states, we've got about a bazillion versions of license plates. So, I went with this one today. #Colorado

"WW1 got started cuz some guy got shot in Europe." Um, there's a bit more to the story. Just purchased this. Available everywhere. Written by @alexchurchill.bsky.social and Nicolai Eberholst. A deep dive into the outbreak of WW1, by two very thorough researchers. This will be an excellent read. 😊

⛈️⚡Nothing like Rocky Mountain Thunder! Seriously, no other thunder sounds quite like this... mainly due to the local terrain, which is hilly. It's nice to see something other than cobwebs in the rain gauge. (13:45 MDT Sunday May 17.) #cowx #thunderstorm #weather

Oh, but we've already won. That's why gas prices are so high, the world economy is in peril, and the Strait of Hormuz is militarily controlled by Iran.

The crawl is wrong. It should say "Trump Lies To Reporters". They can just leave that one up whenever Orange Julius is on the screen.

If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by, uh... "current events", take comfort that "Bubba" is perfectly comfortable. 😻
