@Koore there's a joke there somewhere (lol couldn't help myself there)

@Heavymetalmotherindisguise yup

@Koore yes it's far from over - and given the time of year and the heat, this will be a bumpy ride for Beryl as it treks Northward

to all those that continue to scoff at Biden about his grandchildren - I offer this tidbit - who's actually in court facing charges?

@Jorro just saw on TV a list of other records Beryl broke - but can't find something to post about them - but you know, some people won't listen to any of that and will say "it's hurrican season blah blah blah" and sound just as stupid as they look...

here's a video of Beryl forming and becoming a hurricane

Beryl went from a tropical storm to a hurricane in 42 hours

Here's a graph of Beryl vs other Cat 3, 4, 5 hurricanes

@CinnamonGirlE a few years ago Floor Jansen had a breast cancer scare while touring with Nightwish & her solo tour - she continued to tour and then took a little time to have the cancer fully removed (while pregnant) and continued to tour the rest of 2021 - I hope Ann has the same success....

After watching news about Beryl and how different this storm has been deemed (as well as early in the season) I think we're in for a brutal hurricane season...

Last toot for now: a couple weeks ago I asked for prayers for a co-worker that had a stroke - it sounds as if he'll be off an indeterminate amount of time (as expected) but I was informed that he is making slight progress - the good thing is he's still with us!
So thank you all for the positive vibes for "Vince"!

This NEVER gets old:
Them: got a smoke?
Me: I haven't smoked in 8+ years

I have 10+ years sobriety and am 8+ years smoke free - it wasn't easy at first but now it's 2nd nature to me - never felt better in my entire life!
If you truly want it & value sobriety and/or a smoke free life you can achieve it!

I hope you all have a fun day

@CinnamonGirlE this is not good, but hopefully it's not a major scare (not sure how to word that) - I lost mom & so many others to cancer but also personally know several people that kicked cancers ass and can tell the story now - let's just hope Ann tells cancer to F off in her own way :)
