Good to have a competitive football team again
As Mike Vrabel greeted each player on their way back to the locker room, he kept saying, “NFC South champs! NFC South champs!” — a reference to the quality of opponent the Patriots beat.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!!

Windy night coming up. Gusty from the SW this evening, then post-frontal NW winds after midnight. Atmosphere becomes well mixed overnight...tapping winds in the 950-900 mb layer (45-55 knots)... add in a good pressure rise...likely to be some 50 - 60 mph gusts. Particularly on the Outer Cape

Active weather pattern with a lot of wind. Next round comes tomorrow night / Thursday morning behind a rapidly deepening storm in the Gulf of Maine. Gusts 50-60+ mph likely... probably some tree/limb damage and scattered power outages to deal with

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

A friendly reminder that tonight we "fall back" one hour. While setting clocks that don't do it on their own, change your smoke detector & NOAA Weather Radio batteries too!
