Default WTH Is Up With Florida ??

Brain eating amoebas are eating kid's brains.
Green shit is covering the ocean water along the shoreline.
Zika is spreading outside of Miami now.
mrvette is going insane

All of that, and the WNY area, to include Buffalo, is having it's hottest August ever with an average temperature of 76.6 degrees so far.

Damn ! I sure am glad I didn't move down there...
You know what I mean VITE1 ?

Yes, but I welcome it.

The 'wet bulb' stat says up to 240f.....when in the garage the IR shooter says 220f......and I check around everywhere else and the IR seems reasonable....

I forgot to remember the intake gasket holes in the rear.....the L98 call out seems to be just two little basically pin holes in the rear on each side....

so I left it alone.....I just don't remember if the rear of the intake gaskets was wide open....DAMNIT.....but the rear intake has hoses with about 3/8 passages to the front/ water pump intake like L98 .....GRRRRRR......

Green slime is Global warming, and has nothing to do with global shipping, causing the introduction of invasive species to random places. Nope, it's Global warming.

And it really helps that in order to do away with the pause in warming, GISS (aka NASA) decided to totally change the way they measure ocean temps, during an El Nino year, because that way a bit of gaslighting here and there you'll forget that there was no statistical warming from 1997 through about 2015.

And Jeff had a warm summer!

Also Hillary took a jet on a 20 mile jaunt this weekend to move from fundraiser to fundraiser. She's all on-board the GW bandwagon, you can tell that by her very minimalist lifestyle. Like DiCaprio and Gore. Two near-cave men.

And, finally, here in Joplin we've had a very mild summer. Today, in August, a high of 85, currently 74 and beautiful. August is usually quite hot here, 90+ not unusual. But unfortunately Global warming has caused it to be nice this year, which would really suck if say, uh, Canada got that treatment at some point.

To be fair; kid's brains were on the decline before the brain-eating amoebas.
