Pretty much the weather we are having here in upstate NY today, except we're incredibly warmer...69F

Cute little suckers, used to play fetch with them.

Glad Dak Prescott seems healthy

Baring injuries, they're going to win a whole bunch of games this year.

Upstate, NYS, Adirondack winter just around the corner...with morning below zero

My wife and I have friends up in that neck of the WOODS. They love it........you can see how extremely low temperatures over long periods of time have adverse affects on the thinking process.

Not much snow in Seattle,

Honestly, this surprises me. I lived in Klamath Falls for a few years as a kid. That's 400-500 miles south of Seattle. I remember it as having a fair bit of snow, and I would have assumed going further north, especially in a state with a reputation for tons of precipitation, would mean more snow.

The big secret is that we actually enjoy very nice weather in Seattle most of the year. I mean, sure, the winters are dark because we're so far North, and Winter days tend to be a little dreary and overcast. I think our reputation comes from the persistent drizzle we have in the Winter. But not a lot of actual rain, to the point where we joke about being able to tell non-natives because they carry an umbrella. And our Summers are gorgeous from July into, sometimes, as late as October.

And because we are at sea level, with the puget sound right next door, protected by the Olympics on the West and the Cascades to the East, the temps generally stay somewhere between 32F and 85F. Colder than freezing is abnormally cold for us in the Winter, and above 85F in the Summer is abnormally hot.

So, all that to say, we get snow once every two or three years... and it doesn't generally stay very long.

Adding a couple of relevant words:
Pluviophile - which is a lover of rain.
Petrichor - which is that wonderful smell that occurs when it's rained after a dry spell.

Shang Chi was really fun. Great Kung fu movie. Good superhero movie, too.

Don't know what was going on around here today but I saw this

Few minutes later, one right after the other waiting to turn onto the highway I saw these,

 

[Xue Sheng]

On the way home I saw one of these

Then I got home, driving by my house, and I don't live on a main road

Forgot one, and I saw a CJ5, looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor and it looked a lot like this one

I use to own a 1975 CJ5, mine was red

I recently got my 10th Jeep, a JK. All the others were CJ’s like tho one in the photo. Judging by the body side and stripes that is a ‘77 or ‘78. Levi package is a big plus.

Boy, if that doesn't define a lot of our Martial world then nothing does.
