Got up later than normal, 6:30, sunshine was blinding coming through the east facing windows.
Heard a rumble of thunder, then the skies opened up, poured for about 15 minutes with the sun shining the whole time.
Saved Mrs Bob from having to water her multitude of plants and flowers.

Proverbial sun-shower

Yes, last month, we were still a day behind at this point; right now, we're 1+ day ahead, but not the K-1ii seeking pace of the first few days.

According to my spreadsheet, we had 24 posts more than needed for a K-1 pace.

[ I don't do math ]

so what is the minimum number of daily posts do we need?

**aslyfox** · 07-20-2018, 06:49 AM

just checked and I am amazed at these numbers that I found on the Forum's home page:

Currently Active Users: 1406 (152 members and 1254 guests)

a lot of guests, I hope they post while they visit and consider joining us

Can't post unless you're a member.

Terrible tragedy in the Show Me State yesterday.
A duck boat capsized on Table Rock Lake with 31 aboard during a storm.
13 confirmed dead, 4 still missing.

I expect few people will know these days unless they read Cornwall or Forester or some such.

And with the whole region looking to be under severe weather advisories of one sort or another, my question is why the hell was one of those barely-seaworthy "boats" out on a lake at all when a storm rolled through? Bad judgement on somebody's part!
