Kind of a crappy picture, but it still shows what lovely colors the sunset has tonight
Congrats to Toronto! A well-fought series down to the wire, and a deserved win! I'm proud of the Warriors and their heart...and hey, 5 finals in a row and 3 rings is nothing to sneer at! #nba
AHHHH, this game is killing me! *Bites nails* #nba
Oh, KD! That's heartbreaking... #nba
OMG, I'm exhausted after watching that game! Will comment later! #nba
I think you're exactly right. Even earlier in the playoffs they had problems with this sort of thing, and with the pressure higher now, I am expecting lots of turnovers and bad shots. It might actually be over tonight! I don't begrudge Toronto the title at all because they've played fabulously and the city/country deserves a celebration - but listening to Drake? That's a bridge too far...hahahaha
Durant has been cleared to play in Game 5 (but it will be a game-time decision)! That's great news, but even with him (and after so much time off, he won't be at full conditioning anyway), I think it's pretty unlikely (virtually impossible) that the Warriors can come back from being 3 games down. Nevertheless, it will be fun to see the whole team finally play together after so many injuries late this season. #nba

a quick note from Hulk to every 'naut
Hulk thinks each one of you is exceptional
and in his heart, for each is a special spot
without you, Hulk's life would not be so full
Today was hot. The forecast for tomorrow is hotter! OMFG, I'm going to need to find someplace with air conditioning.
This is good news! I went to see this whale earlier in the week, and it did seem to be chasing schools of fish around: Humpback Whale Lingering in Shallow Waters Near Alameda Now 'One Step Closer' to Open Bay | KQED News

Ouch, that game was painful! Starting to feel that without Durant, the Warriors are simply the less talented team. Well done by Toronto! #nba
Went out this evening to see the humpback whale that's been feeding in the lagoon off Alameda for around a week. The news stories say the whale is probably sick, but wow is it an amazing sight up so close! https://www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea/article/Unhealthy-Whale-Has-Been-Foraging-Fish-Near-13922801.php
Watching that game was exhausting! Leonard is really terrific, but I think the Warriors won just through sheer grit #nba

WHY DID IT TAKE SO FUCKIN LONG FOR MUELLER TO SPEAK AND COUNTER BARR'S REPORT...
Saw something on alternet yesterday regarding elite impunity and frankly all of this smacks of elitism...Whether it's Barr's arrogance and mistruths, Trump's blatant 'I'm above the law' approach to life, or even Mueller's refusal to speak further on this most significant issue now
It's all elitism just showing that laws are for the common folk, not those who by virtue of luck or inheritance have the upper hand

It looks like the nasty stuff will track north and into Pennsylvania today. COSONAUTS in the systems path be alert and we are thinking of you 💜

Howdy!
Feel the flow of good will, no trolling, intelligent discussions and silly dilly fun that comes with hanging out with the other #CoSoNauts?
But were you aware that this takes a toll of about 7 grand each month to keep it flowing?

#CoSo is what the internet was meant to be. But tracking, data mining and trolls made the other sites into a horrible thing
Help us help you!

Does Dayton need help supplies? Is anyone from region?
I know responders are likely keeping public assistance away at this time (don't need people coming in with down power and debris that can injure)
I'm only a 3.5 hrs drive. I haven't looked at all the news yet but can drive down with supplies for any coso'ers in need. I have a portable 5k generator if anyone is in dire need to keep critical systems such as home oxygen going.
