Hi, I’m God.
Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just 1.3mm in my gauge this morning. Fog and low cloud clears for nice afternoon today. Quite a bit of sun again Thursday before a rain system moves in Thursday night. The rain ends on Friday... I'm hoping for 20mm.
A mostly sunny weekend then a fine end to September.

I can’t believe such a wretched, morbidly obese, drug addicted, deviant, illiterate, sexual predator found the secret sauce to turn half our country into absolute lunatics. Turning a blind eye daily to the most rampant corruption in American history as they genuflect before him.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

A listener is reporting a collision on Westwood Blvd near Upper Tantallon
Sounds like it's near the St. Margaret's Centre
Apparently this is making it hard for traffic in the area to get onto the HWY 103 (near the exit 5 ramp)

Update on the recent rainfall ... as of 5pm. About 8 mm (1/3") around Halifax so far. 2.5 mm (1/10") around the Long Lake Fire. Much more needed. At least fire behaviour there today is much less aggressive.
