That's a scary looking bridge I would NOT want to drive over!!!
Air looks like that here too
Clouding up... chance of rain tonight! Only a 20% chance, but I'm hoping the rain falls, we certainly need it here! 
The forecast high also dropped to 99* F, it's only 90* F right now, I just checked the NOAA Weather site...

Thats a very cool bridge. Huge bridge. We camped at a campground just west and under it years ago. Amazing how long and high it is. But it allows the big freighter ships to pass under
Come up around Labor Day and they'll shut it down so you can walk across, lol you can also tour one of the towers at 550 feet to the top. The best part is driving across on a windy day.
That center span can sway as much as 35 feet east to west on a high wind day.
Watching the painters is something to see as well
NOPE, 107°!
I think you got @Wingnut 's monsoon!So we finally have 2 rain free days ( yesterday and today) then the rain is supposed to start up again
But, we have a "unhealthy air" warning right now. It was so hazy yesterday you can't even see the mountains . Yuck. I have never seen anything like it since 1998 when we had fires in Florida
"How high's the temperature Mama?
93* and Risin'"
That's a Johnny Cash song, I'm pretty sure.

We're back to breathing Canada's aerosolized forrestry - LOTS of haze and the ever-present stank of campfire.
Get your sh!t together, Canada, and douse those fires. This is a no-smoking continent.

It's hot, muggy, and smells of burning maple trees.
I haven't been out of the bunker in a week.

Ok, this is fake.
Every day, for a 'magical 15 minutes', the sun can shine all the way across the front porch and land on my outdoor sensor:
After the sun stops picking on it, the reading will drop 5° in 15 minutes.
Chance of rain jumped to 30%, which is a good sign... a 20% chance of rain is also forecast for Sunday afternoon and evening. We need rain here in the high desert, there hasn't been a good downpour in 4 or 5 months...
Smoky, Thanks Canada. Rain for the next 5 days, but the grass is cut., weeds sprayed, so bring it on.
Yeah, in the sun it was hotter. That was the “true” temperature. We are supposed to be pretty toasty for the next week.
Perhaps if you posted the video footage of your rain dance, we could tell you what you’re doing incorrectlyChance of rain jumped to 30%, which is a good sign... a 20% chance of rain is also forecast for Sunday afternoon and evening.

You'll hafta fire a pistol at my feet to get me to dance... 
A good-looking gal once told me that dancing is an expression of joy...

Anyone here getting hit by the derecho? Power out yet?
Videos did exist of my "Summer Solstice Dance", but they were somehow removed from UTube and well, you know.Perhaps if you posted the video footage of your rain dance, we could tell you what you’re doing incorrectly
Probably for the best of everyone, everywhere.

Drumroll please..... still hot as hades. Did pull SOs gelding in and gave him a half-ass bath. He did pretty good. Needs to get used to doing things again but he's being really good about everything. I also didn't mind getting splashed by the hose though lol
baked, then drowned.
Beautiful sunny morning here, I need to get going before it gets too hot... I just realized that I never took my birthday bong hit yesterday! You know a former stoner is losing his memory when he forgets to take his birthday bong hit, lol. Guess I was having too much fun with the rum & beer... not together, I drank rum in the morning and beer in the afternoon, lol. Meh, maybe I'll take that bong hit today, once I get back from town... it's not a "high priority!" Or maybe it is, lol... that ridiculous pun is for Supe! 
Drizzling and cooler
! As much as I miss the 100°+ temps, it is a nice little change!

No drizzle here yet! Breezy, darkly overcast. A little blue sky here and there. It’s actually pretty nice out!! But I have to work.
