Not shown: last night, we had a summer thunderstorm blow through. It was a light show with constant flashing lights that made me wonder why we bother with fireworks in July.

Extreme continental climate. You need to bring back the inland sea you had during the Cretaceous.

Fun fact: Beowulf was written in contemporary English.
“In America, we speak English because that is the language of our founding and for a thousand years, that has been the language of freedom”.

After CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN when the survivors live underground, you will enjoy the average yearly temperature once you dig down far enough. Ca. 10-12° C ?
I remember spending two weeks at Many Point Scout Camp in the early seventies. The weather was pleasant but listening to the mosquitoes at night wasn’t:
“Do you want to eat them here or take them home?”
I think that is what they were saying. :-)
dschultz @ #3 — And the reply was, “No, if we take them home we’ll have to share them with the big mosquitoes.”
birgerjohansson@1, quoting the terminal idiot: “In America, we speak English because that is the language of our founding and for a thousand years, that has been the language of freedom”.
That is the same moron who claimed that 100s of millions of years ago, humans were doing business by trading rocks and stones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI5sNHnIOWw
But he could never stop there, and went on to make a continual stream of counterfactual claims since. He is the poster child for “brain death”. Stealth jets are totally invisible, even if you stand next to one. The Continental Army took over the airports in the 1770s. Swallowing bright lights (or via the other end) would cure COVID, which he previously called a hoax. And don’t forget that illegal immigrants have taken 107% of the black jobs. He reduced prescription drug prices by 1500%. His rally attendee counts are routinely inflated by factors of 10 or even more (442,000 people attended his 250th US state fair, actually maybe as many as 1,000), and business school Professor William T. Kelly said: “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”, other students at the same school said Trump rarely came to class and was always unprepared. All of this ignorance came about because his sister did his homework and he paid other students to take his tests (including his SATs). He has the best words, but many no one has ever heard before: Stollen, Honered, Unpresidented, Frorida, Infair, Grest, Hamberders, Misinformates, Foistered, Covfefe, Infantroopen, Ranned, Benefishers, Haroilynn, Deligitimatize, Resaption, Herridje, Protectored, 9elective (for 911), Humanitaries, Asbadidizziz, Bowlje, Airmputs, Duurrrr, Troth Sential, and a very bigly list of others. Water kills magnets, windmills cause cancer, kill whales, and there are enormous piles of dead birds around windmill towers. Solar power don’t work (he does not know about batteries or other energy storage systems). Dozens of psychologists and psychiatrists have stated that in the best case, he only operates with a 4th grade comprehension level, and that was even before his dementia became so obvious. Of course MAGAts love him, he is exactly their kind of stupid.
