Our Blue Cross is slated to increase by 30% next year! It already consumes 1/2 of the pension I taught 30 years to earn.

I sure hope Social Security is still around in 4 months when I am eligible to file.

You think we would just take advantage of the work that our own CIA has already done on simple sabotage

Be careful. You don’t want to get charged with assault with a deli weapon.

It was a worksite. A roofing job. A lot nails everywhere…

For me, it's a metaphor for what's going on in the US and the world at large--the things that are noble or beautiful about our nation being sold off and stripped for parts by people, who, if they had any generosity of spirit, could fix most if not ALL of the problems on the planet.

I just read. He’s been missing for the past two weeks.

Be careful. I had my ornamental gourds near my cucumbers, and then read that that is a combination that can truly make you ill. You might want to double check those plantings.

Okay that makes sense for a forecast. NYS has the scholars use a table to find humidity given the data on the station model.

So, is the difference between “saturated” and “condensation occurring” the latent heat of condensation? Once condensation starts the vapor loses energy to the air?

I never knew that detail. Thanks for teaching me something new today.

I also like how the moon faces are inverted.

Exactly.

It is the temperature at which moisture in the air condenses.

You can figure it out on your own by filling a glass with ice water and putting a thermometer in. It’s not real precise, but the temperature at which droplets start to form on your glass would be the dewpoint temperature.

It is on there, it’s out of the northeast at 10 knots.

Replace the circle with an arrow head to see the direction. It’s tricky to read the wind speed, with only one barb. 5 kn it’s further up the shaft, on the end signifies 10 kn.

O——,- East @5 kn

O———,
‘ East at 10. Kn

I taught this to my 9th graders for years. NYS Earth Science.

Drawing arrows over each station on the national map to illustrate the wind patterns, plotting the iso lines to locate pressure centers, locating frontal boundaries….

So much information packed into those little symbols.
