When I first read of Phoenix record breaking streak of 16 days over 90 degrees, I misread it and was thinking, how is THAT a record?  Then it hit me what they meant.  Not the daily highs.  Never dropped below 90 for sixteen days even in the wee hours of the morning.

And even CACTI can't handle it.

Please no one give Tony an update on the state of the economy in Greece. It would break his heart.

I think tony's conception of Greece is Homeric. Temporally.

Poll
 U.S. Is a Land of Prayer, Belief in Heaven,
Angels, and the Supremacy of a Higher Power


Compared with the devil, angels carry more credence in America.

Angels even get more credence than, well, hell. More than astrology, reincarnation, and the belief that physical things can have spiritual energies.

In fact, about 7 in 10 U.S. adults say they believe in angels, according to a new poll by The Associated Press NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Angels are being hunted to extinction by the republican party because they make cracked out old fuckers feel bad about their daily acts of anti-woke terrorism.

Jesus wept.

Then republicans called him gay and hit him with a truck.

I believe in Hedy Lamarr who helped invent frequency hopping, which was later modified for use in Bluetooth.  Somewhat angel-like.

The climate is always changing.
Ice Ages come and go.
The globe heats and cools in 100,000 year cycles naturally.
The glaciers started melting 11,000 years ago.

Is man-made climate change real?
Is the Arizona heatwave caused by man-made climate change?
There are many questions.
Even learned scientists don't agree on the answers.

The findings show that consensus has increased across the board. The findings also reaffirm that consensus increases with the level of expertise -  the more you know about climate science, the more likely you are to understand that humans are responsible for climate change. Near 100 percent of scientists in our most expert group who identify as climatologists and actively publish in the peer-reviewed literature are in complete agreement that climate change is real and caused by humans, says Peter Doran.

Oh, and by the way, Cacti in the Arizona desert can survive 96 minimum temps, just not grow as fast.
This ain t their first dance with the heat.

I love that those who replace you have already stolen most of your carbon.

Thank you for taking time out of your ignominious demise to show us where the shittiest idiots stand on the issues of today.

I would ask you to get out of the way, but since you are a feckless twat and you are there already there is not really any point to it.

A security guard was beaten to death at a really cool little night club in Hollywood, the Dragonfly, it is a cool little club with a great smoking section, Willie Nelson would love the smoking section at the Dragonfly. The clubs all need more security and more cameras, etc.

In Israel they spend the money from recycling to spend on security guards, so at least they have some security. The money from the bottles and cans, etc, all goes to pay for security, and that is better than nothing, it is good to at least have some security.

Salute,

Tony V.

It is still blank to me.

If you post elsewhere and use the Img tag I bet I would be able to see that though you may be avoiding that for an IP reason.

As for now I will just wonder what you are working on

Why hasn't sleepy Joe opened things up for the Pakastani?

[FlyingVProd]

Why hasn't sleepy Joe opened things up for the Pakastani?

We have hashish coming in from Pakistan, and also that is where Europe is getting their hashish from, along with the hashish from Turkey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Pakistan

We also have doctors coming in from Pakistan.

I support the safe trade of legal hashish, etc. ( If hashish and cannabis is cheap in Chicago, Harlem, Saint Louis, Cincinnati, Compton, Oakland, Detroit, etc, etc, etc, then we will have a more peaceful summer. Biden could help to make for a more peaceful summer by relaxing restrictions on legal hashish and cannabis trade. )

We can also have the legal trade of cannabis from Thailand for the USA, we can supply all of our inner cities with plentiful cannabis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Thailand

And cannabis is safe.

We can give them new libraries and books with the money that is made from selling them hashish and cannabis. And they can have coffee shops and parks, etc. Libraries and hashish for the inner cities, with a nice cappuccino.

We can bring a taste of Amsterdam to Detroit, and to Chicago, etc, this summer. Maybe that can help to save San Francisco, they can have a summer of love and hashish. ( Here is a video of Sammy Davis Jr in Amsterdam... https://youtu.be/VNNZan852tQ  )

Salute,

Tony V.
