We have a few wacko counties down here who are mandating masks. One is Alachua County (Gainesville U of F crazies) and of course good ole Commie Broward County. They are doing it at their own peril. Pure politics. It looks like parents in those counties who do not want to mask up their children can obtain a Hope Scholarship from the state and transfer their child to a private school or if close to another county transfer their child to that county's school system. If there is a will there is a way. Our schools are open in this county and things are going smooth according to the Supt. Plenty of jobs available for bus drivers, nurses and other personnel as the county grows.
I sure hope that Florida continues to take a stand against this nonsense and I admire DeSantis for holding firm. I basically have to wear the mask when around groups of people but can go maskless in the office setting with just me or a couple of other people. Many of my colleagues feel the same way about how this is all a big game we're playing. Some others are cookie cutters who just following along and believe the CDC "guidance" on all this and take Fauci as a god-like figure, operating in fear. And still a few others are in the "indifferent" column, as they don't seem to care one way or the other.
You may need to take a trip down here to cool off. Fred is headed our way and maybe he can make a stop in the Midwest and give Kentucky a good soaking. I saw a model that had it tracking your way and going a little East of first thought. But you never know what these things are going to do.It is a muggy 77.5°F here on our way to 95. We sure need some more rain, but it may not be before the weekend.
My AC went out upstairs so they suggested that I replace the unit. I suppose I will. Donations are welcomed!
Not what I read, but OK.
The six major hospital systems in Cincy/NKy are all mandating employee masks. Bunches of protests.

It is hot here. 93.4°F on the back porch (in the shade) and 95.2°F on the front porch (near the brick).
I had it at 11:30 today. B&E.
Currently 95°F here. You guys finally beat us on the high temps.
97.2°F. I don't know when it will end. It is 3:32 pm and climbing.
It is 87° down here in my area of the Sunshine State. We had a light rain at 2:30 PM and a very strong breeze off of the Gulf. The sky looks like we will have a thunderstorm in the next 10 or 15 minutes.
No kidding. I love real breakfast food!
Had to drive to Columbia to pick up wheel bearings for a tractor today. On the way home the car said 98. Waiting until morning to install bearings. Southern Kentucky in August, Gods curve ball, I guess.
I'm dialed in...I wish I was there.
As a kid, baseball was life to me. If I couldn't get up a game among the neighborhood kids, I was in the yard hitting acorns with wiffle ball bat or practicing catching ground balls by throwing a golf ball at a rock wall. If necessary, I'd sweep snow away. The last year I played at 37 with a bad leg and bum shoulder on my throwing arm, a 25 year college coach told my teammates I was the best third baseman he had ever seen. I still love the game itself, but all sports are getting so woke these days.I just try to hit the ball. I am a horrible athlete so I can't choose on "what" I am going to hit!
Meh, rookie numbers. We're at 92°F right now.

I was discussing with my wjfe, this has been a cool summerMeh, rookie numbers. We're at 92°F right now.
I know. Just kidding. You guys and gals ain't acclimated. @starchief5 and @_Rooster really experience brutal heat 600 miles west of us. We've been very, very lucky so far this summer season with only 2 days greater than 100°F.
