Tonight in the valley #VAwx

Apple Music has a sense of humor #MayThe4th

This is just a fucking good thread.

Good morning from my new turtle friend

This is a really good update on what's happening within #FEMA under an executive order from March and a memo to OMB from April 16th, from Wendy Huff Ellard. www.bakerdonelson.com/update-on-fe...

Got stuck in “traffic” on the way home from work tonight.

For some totally unknown reason my 4yo has become quite interested in weather and storms. He’s also a bit of a worrier and the other night he was bedside at 12:30am asking if there were going to be severe thunderstorms. So I bought him a wx radio so he’d know if there was a watch or warning…

This morning in the valley… 38°F, and the crisp air is filled with birdsong. Except for the dog pattering about, the house is quiet and still, while I sit in my chair attempting to rehydrate after yesterday’s adventures. l have to wake the children soon.

This is such a good and expansive article about what we're facing TODAY with wildfire. How we pitch our futures and personal finances, mental wellbeing, vegetation management, code adoption, and technological limits against the inevitable and unforgiving next spark during an extreme wind event.

Alarms are set for tomorrow! Am I done working and ready to go to bed? Absolutely not.

Meanwhile, the Front Royal Rural King is fully stocked with HPAI Starter Packs! 🐥🦠😷☠️

4yo got bored while I was getting my haircut and set to work sweeping up hair. Earned his first dollar from the shop’s owner! 💈💇🧹👦🏻 #ChildLaborFTW

The 4yo marveling at Metro

Hey Alexandria Bluesky! Anyone have a lead on a babysitter for Sunday morning for a delightful pair of children (2 & 4yo)? I have to photograph a race running though your fair city and my wife just got a comped entry and while our dog is nearly 13, she’s no Lassie and we have actual wells out here

Unfortunately Roger Rees has been dead for nearly a decade

If you've heard me talk about Western U.S. wildfire, you've probably heard me mention that while *baseline* fire risk is lower in the (moister) East, the *conditional* risk can still be extremely high when conditions align (including, as here, in and downwind of pine barrens in New Jersey today).

Every day is Earth Day! Here’s my surprisingly fast turtle friend from this morning

Get ready for the same tiresome comments from non-fans about how Idris Elba should be pope.

Northern Maryland rocked by severe storms Saturday night! * Warnings were issued in every county along Pa border from Garrett to Cecil * Peak gusts 60 to 80 mph. Camp David gust to 81 mph * Many trees/wires down. Thousands of power outages. More info at cwg.live

Master and Commander/TNG Intro this was rendering all day while I was out lol
