Yup. All the verbiage and argumentation style markers are there.
This is Markuse.
I am saddened that you did not get the mental health help you needed, Dennis. I urge you to start taking your medications again.
This violates the terms of your parole. |

About 50 homes had their basements flooded by heavy downpour this week. More than three inches in 1½ hours. Could this mean the end of the world is near?
(I was safe on 4th floor condo, even the car garage is elevated compared to the immediate surrounding as my building is on a slope, so there was never any risk of flooding. My wife took her bicycle home from work just before the real downpour started. She could pour water out of her soaked backpack. I just stood there saying "why didn't you call me, I could have picked you up in the car...")

Terrible flooding in Manila and environs. 60 are dead there, mostly by drowning. Here in the mountains to the north of the metropolis, not so bad, so only 4 or so killed (by landslides) nearby. A large monsoon storm cell has hovered over Metro Manila for about a week, brining Manila constant torrents of rain. The northern edge of the cell only occasionally doused Baguio. So far this typhoon season, all have missed going directly over these islands, but the outer rain bands of a couple of them have enhanced the monsoonal storms, bringing great rains.
Now, it looks like the stationary storm cell has finally moved on. But I'm a terrible prophet of weather. |

It's unseasonably warm here in Santa Monica. Well... Actually for any season, 84 degrees by the beach would be considered warm. |

Why not question something for a change?

| No. In fact there's a lot of humidity. More of a tropical thing. |

| When/if sea surface water temps get to about 80 degree Fahrenheit in Southern Cal, you'll be seeing tropical cyclones there. That seems to be the number to watch. |

Had a grat time at the 36th annual Pan Pagan Festival.
Weather was great. A few scattered rain showers that kept the temp reasonable. No one was seriously hurt (a few scrapes and one insect sting). We used some bio-degradable spray paint to mark the poison ivy and poison oak.
Great folks to be around. Really nice.
So glad I missed all this stuff when I was on vacation.
So tell me, is the Chick-Fil-A crap over with? Otherwise, I'll be offering to send people to therapy to rid themselves of this obsession. |

I had a pressure regulator in a closet off my home office start leaking last week. Only found out after it had probably been leaking for two days, so I had a lot of soaked carpeting. And when the clean-up crew starting pulling the carpet up, they found mold unrelated to the leak. Everyone suddenly became extremely cautious (rightfully so), and I had to wait until today for a claims adjuster to look the situation over and decide how to proceed.
After he gave the go-ahead for the clean-up crew, they removed some drywall and found that the mold was mostly confined to just the carpet tack-strip that it had been found on. Very little on the back of the baseboard and even less on the drywall behind it. Awesome news, because it means there is no persistent problem. The mold had probably been there for years, the result of a long-forgotten spill of something or the now-long-dead dog relieving himself - some mishap not dried up but accidentally left to soak through and get to spores just biding their time on the tasty wood of a tack-strip.
An hour afterwards, the old carpet was gone, along with a bunch of drywall, and 95% of the stuff that was in my office is now in piles spread around my basement. But, my insurance company came through for me, and gave me money for new carpet, replacement drywall and even paint for the whole room. They might even give me some money for the 200 or so old LP albums that got wet, their now-wrinkled covers currently taking up way too much space drying out in the main basement room. I keep meaning to burn those suckers to CDs, but can never seem to remember that I need to order a replacement $30 belt for my Swedish turntable... |

| Yeah. Too many old LP's here too. Some of the collector items. And even more that will never make it to CD unless I do it. My problem is I don't have a turntable anymore.
