N Carolina had warmer than ave most of the month, temps in the 70s then warming next weekend to record warm in the upper 80s. Those are Summer temps here NW US.
86F forecast in KY and TN on Thursday. 102F in Texas on Wednesday. All that heat will probably spawn more tornados. Lightning, hail. Heat going up the Mississippi again, tornado warnings now along the GOM at 04am local time there. Duck and cover, eat your popcorn.
My 37 year old daughter called this morning, she’s broke. Morgage is due Friday, she’s out of food, coffee, toilet paper. She hasn’t worked since last year, part time at The Dollar Store. She has maximum amount of maxed out credit cards. Starts a new part time job Wednesday, it won’t last. Can’t handle a fulltime or part time job, never went to school got all fucked up drugs and booze. Tatoos, Crackhead boyfriends and married one two years ago already divorced. Major drama on that you can’t make up. Has ringing in the ears problem thinks it’s the Smart meters. Big problem. Injury after injury she’s been to the Doc more times this year than I’ve been my entire life. Medicaid. Food stamps. Never ending nightmare, I am poverty income myself and I’m giving her all my money every month. Oh here’s another $2k. Here’s another $2k. I just never ends it gets more expensive.
Sorry to hear that. It’s a nightmare I fortunately escaped. But Dirk you are part of the problem. You are drip feeding her. Sounds harsh but it’s true. She has incorporated you into her dystopia. Stop sending aid.
Ya, I’m the bad guy. I get to give her all my money and be the bad guy too.
Her Mom my ex died of cancer two years ago so daughter inherited the house which she owes $250,000 dollars and a brand new Mazda SUV with payments. Way over her head and out of my control, can’t let her loose the house. Never ending guilt trip, 36 years ago I was homeless paying child support. I got to pay rent and child support, am I the Lone Ranger? https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/over-50-parents-supporting-adult-children-say-theyve-sacrificed-own-financial
No. 50% of us are in the same sinking tub. The homeless problem is global and tragic, I watch vids about other countries. If you all don’t have to contend with such things you don’t know how lucky you are.
My Uncle was a millionaire, had three houses they lived in seasonally. His daughter is a millionaire lives in Beverly Hills. So in 1991 I found my cousin Mike living in his truck with serious medical conditions while his folks are golfing in Palm Springs. Wintertime in Seattle. They go to Beverly Hills for the Holidays and cousin Mike is dying in the back of his Ford truck parked on the side of the road. I got on the dang phone ASAP and it got delt with in a sub moderate solution. Camping trailer in a ghetto trailer park.
My daughter’s phone goes to voicemail when I call but it’s a four hour drive to ger house. I go there she’s not there or in a bad mood because I showed up without calling. My car is 23 years old junk. My truck is 33 years old. Roads closed from storms since October trees falling everywhere. Snow, black ice over the mountain I have to go over to get there. Glad Winter is over. I am not going to let her loose the fricking house if I can help it. Not on my watch.

The ocean absorbs most of the heat energy from the sun.
Is it only the sun’s heat energy that affects the temperature of the ocean?
Or are there other energies that affect the ocean temperature?
