Porthole

August 16 - 17

60 degrees with an AQI of 120 = another day housebound?
82 and 118 at noon... but I can see blue sky.

My stomach was complaining after too much coffee, so I ate stuffing with lentils.

I need a life.

"Grace in the arms of Haiti" TS Grace is strengthening and headed for Jamaica, man.

93 degrees with 21 mph winds blowing out the smoke. AQI a pleasant 72. It's 15 minutes to 5.

85 degrees and 49 AQI. I can breathe! Actually took the garbage out and went to the corner store to treat myself to a pint of Snickers ice cream.

I could go for a walk ... but I won't.

AUGUST 17

65 degrees 66 AQI.

99Dreamin: I would argue anything beyond 3 is Fanta Sea

SunnyDaysFl: Well beyond 3 was very iffy even a few years ago but if we are looking at days 4&5 in the nhc cone they have gotten darn good.

When someone says there's a storm abrewing, I say, get out the coffee.

71 degrees and 68 AQI. They say scattered showers but I'm hoping for more. Should move in from th Northwest after 5. It's 1:18 and cloudy.

I was allowed inside the Senior Center for the first time in over a year. I could grumble...

But good to sit with Bob, Kathy, John, Dalton, Laxmi and Don. And see Jane and Kelly.

Dalton got his Pfizer booster.

I'm home feeling a bit more energized. It's still warmer inside than out but I could put on clothes if I wanted to.

A week of cool weather 78/45 is forecast.

3:20: 68 degrees with an AQI of 107? Winds brought the smoke in again but but there're raindrops on my window. Long before 7 the air will be cleansed.

9:25: 56 degrees with an AQI of 48. A rainband coming in.
