Allez!

A wealth of knowledge here, especially helpful for wheelbuilding and checking the compatibility of archaic sizing systems. Lennard Zinn is another great reference in bike maintenance: https://lennardzinn.substack.com/

Haha, thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed how you captured the essence of Freak on a Leash.

Yes this is what I was thinking of. Thank you!

For the interested, real-time data from the ongoing aircraft reconnaissance into (now) Hurricane Ida can be seen at https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon

tropicaltisbits.com also hosts the author’s blog which is well worth following when major storms are present near the GOM.

Windy doesn’t make forecasts, rather it visualizes output from forecast models.

Yup. You can even choose different models for it to visualize!

It's worth mentioning here that heatwaves are the leading cause of weather-related death in the US for the past 30 years.

I'm not advocating for the personification of all extreme weather events, but the lethality of heatwaves is often overlooked.

It doesn't kill you directly, but the vulnerable are easy prey (elderly, immobile, etc.). A story that was shared with me about the lethality of heat was basically an overweight individual fell off his mobility scooter and was knocked unconscious, and just cooked to death.

I am terrified of a hurricane knocking out power throughout Florida followed by even a mild heatwave. Nursing homes could barely handle keeping their staff from going to the bars and getting Covid- are we to believe they are prepared to deal with hundreds of cheaply built old-person dorms turned into sous vides?

Don't forget the oud!

The Hurdy-Gurdy would also be interesting to see in such songs.

Give eBird [0] a try, also from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
