This might be the new lifespan turnover in stadiums? Look at Turner Field in Atlanta. Just 20 years. Now they have a lucrative Battery ballpark experience.

When I see a elementary grade school friend share a Facebook post that is obviously false and they didn't use even a modicum of critical thinking skills to determine whether the Facebook post was genuine, I die a little inside.

Been a dry summer so far across much of the Atlantic Canada - here's a little update on the extent to which rainfall has been below normal. For instance, only about 30 mm has fallen in central NS during the 40-day period when normal for that period is ~120 mm.

Check out the undulation and the washing machine motion of the low clouds / fog. Pretty neat. Must be some movement dictated by air moving in and out of the Haw Creek valley. This time lapse is from Sunday morning. #asheville

Alex's website Cyclonicwx.com has become a favorite of mine over the years. He's put a ton of work into it and is constantly adding super useful tropical forecast tools. Can't recommend enough!

And power lines that are being held up precariously by rolled-up unused utility wires and other random cords. The initial quick repair by linemen were completed but then Duke Energy never returned to put in a permanent fix.

Just an annoying late spring and early summer weather pattern here in Western NC.

Bryce Harper has four extra-base hits in a game for the first time in his entire career.
