Ha! Yeah, I’d seen 5 posts nearly back to back (shared, not people I follow) super into the new rating right before I posted this.

This is probably the summer of 1983. I’m the boy on the left pulling the wagon with my sister in it. My mom is by our side. We were in the July 4 pet parade in our small Indiana town. So, presumably there is a pet in the wagon, though I don’t remember what.

I was talking to someone a few weeks ago that was involved in the new EF-5 convo and I said, “oh God. Weather social media is gonna lose their minds.”

Them: why?

Me: I have no idea.

No one said the storm lasted for three hours or even how long they were adrift.

Maybe. Also, everything they do isn’t evil. The headline is exactly what people have been asking them to do, and was just ignored.

Corey Pieper @coreypieper.com · 3d

Oh it’s a mess, no doubt, but folks seem to be getting wrapped around the axle about the passive voice in the post text yet somehow ignoring the headline.

I’m not an ag person but I grew up in farmlands. This is about when you’d expect fields to start turning (early fall)

I mean, if they were real people looking it’d be a dream job.

I’ve gotten emails claiming Redbull and Ferrari F1 racing teams are looking for meteorologists in the last few months.

Super legit, those.

Another brilliant MLB stat shown during the Reds/Dodgers game: if your team hits more home runs, you tend to win.

They were 38-55 for mid-June to the end of the season after a stellar start. It was a slow burn.

Corey Pieper @coreypieper.com · 9d

Well, it was like a 4 month decline. But it seemed to catch the Mets announcers by surprise.

Welp. The Reds are a playoff team. ❤️
