Apologies, I thought that db posting the link to the story yesterday was enough context. My "faith group code" is still listed, so I have no skin in this game.

They kept Druid? 

Ha! Maybe one of the 3 kinds of Wiccan they had listed, but I guess fall under No Religion, even though they used to have No Religion, Atheist, and Humanist listed. I just post about Celtic festivals from a cultural perspective, rather than a religious one.

i was actually referring to the stars. i'm quite sure they'd do just fine.

but as for everyone else on staff - do you think that anyone with "60 minutes" on their resume would have trouble finding a job?

Not to be pointlessly argumentative, but I will take issue with the assumption that landing a job in broadcast television is anything but challenging these days. Broadcast media outlets are not thriving today. 

It may seem like a minor quibble, but it’s part of the reason that someone like Weiss can do what she’s doing. A lot of the staff members have probably worked for years to get where they are. Giving that up for the uncertainty of the job market has to be daunting. Plus heaven only knows what blacklist you’d end up on. 

Just my thoughts. 

Monday June 8th

The week starts warm and dry then midsummer happens 

Today, clouds thin out and we should end up with afternoon sun and a high around 80⁰, humidity lingers. Low tonight mid 50⁰s

Tuesday, sunnier, less humid, a bit warmer, high in the low to mid 80⁰s, overnight lows lower 60⁰s

Wednesday, might see a shower in the morning, then chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. High mid 80⁰s, low around 70⁰

The back end of the week is still a bit unclear, but it is likely to include highs around 90⁰, moderate humidity, and possibly afternoon thunderstorms

saw on FB that she passed after what seems like a fairly lengthy illness she was fighting with an optimistic spirit. I looked up her comments here and apparently she hadn't posted in nearly a decade, which would explain why my memory of her contributions were kind of fuzzy. But it seems like she was here mostly to give or request good advice. I never met her but she seemed like a positive person. And as mrincredible noted, gone too soon.

Saturday June 6th UPDATE 

Most of the forecast remains the same, however, the chance of rain this evening now includes a chance of thunderstorms, and a slight chance of a severe thunderstorm. The storms will move through quickly, and the biggest risk is from gusting wind

Temps today will be near 90⁰ with lower humidity and a strong breeze this afternoon

Sunday sunny high in the upper 80⁰s

Monday sunny high in the lower. 80⁰s

Wed June 10th

Hot, humid, and a chance of thunderstorms highlight the rest of the week. The NWS has issued a Heat Advisory for Thursday and Friday 

This morning, there are a few showers in the area, otherwise mostly overcast today, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. There is a slight chance of a severe thunderstorm. High mid 80⁰s, and getting a bit more humid than the last few days. Overnight lo near 70⁰

Thursday starts out partly sunny and hot and humid, highs in the low 90⁰s. Chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, and a slight chance of a severe thunderstorm. Low in the 70⁰s

Friday sunny morning and again hot and humid, high in the 90⁰s and chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Low in the 70⁰s

Saturday looking like we could have the hot and humid without the thunderstorms, high near 90⁰ low near 70⁰

Sunday could be mostly sunny with showers and, yes, possibly a thunderstorm in the afternoon, hot, perhaps a bit less humid, high around 90⁰

Cold front finally breaks what could be the first official heat wave of summer on Monday with temps early next week looking to be in the low 80⁰s

Is there a choice between Newsom and Harris? Both lack the same credibility issues , as far as I see. If the DNC really wants to keep CA blue, I think it would be wise for it to look for a winning candidate, not a known loser, such as Harris — or a Governor who appears to be just keeping the seat in the  Governor’s Mansion warm!

Why do I care? My youngest granddaughter lives there!

this comment doesn't even make sense.
