When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. -- Maya Angelou
We have heard such ugly divisive language coming from Trump, it has been this way since his 2016 campaign. He loves the game of campaigning but being a leader that unifies does not seem to be within him. I wish I could understand how people support him because it boggles my mind.
This stag was bellowing to warn off potential rivals from trying to take his harem. He had previously fought off a challenger who turned and fled rather than risk injury. There were other young pretenders in the vicinity so he couldn't rest.

Exiting Morro Bay harbor, this sign has warned outbound sailors for generations. Unchanged since my childhood in the 70s, but it’s probably much older than that.

This sign is adorning the private parking lot of a building in |yallup (more commonly known as Puyallup), in Washington State. I don't know whether it was the intent of the building owner to provide us with a riddle in addition to putting us on notice, or whether this sign and its similarly abbreviated twin has been visited by a demon barber with a chain saw, but it certainly is attention getting. Maybe the warning is so familiar to us all by now that the warners just need to "hum a few bars" and we'll all quickly sing the whole tune.

It's been raining today, so I couldn't get pics of my ship. I was bored, and decided to play in photoshop. :P

Storm Warnings
The glass has been falling all the afternoon,
And knowing better than the instrument
What winds are walking overhead, what zone
Of grey unrest is moving across the land,
I leave the book upon a pillowed chair
And walk from window to closed window, watching
Boughs strain against the sky
And think again, as often when the air
Moves inward toward a silent core of waiting,
How with a single purpose time has traveled
By secret currents of the undiscerned
Into this polar realm. Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction.
Between foreseeing and averting change
Lies all the mastery of elements
Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter.
Time in the hand is not control of time,
Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
We can only close the shutters.
I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.

I'm sitting at work on Monday and I notice that it is getting darker outside. I figured it was going to rain, so I didn't pay it any more attention. Well it got a lot darker and I looked out the wondow and it was looking a bit nasty so I quickly went to www.wixt.com our news channel to look at the radar to see what was going on. In red right up at the top of the page was TORNADO WARNING. I know the difference between watch and warning adn all we have ever really gotten up here were watches, which means that the conditions are favorable to produce a tornado. THe warning means that something is up and you need to keep your eye to sky and pay attention to your surroundings because one is trying to form or one has already formed and is on the ground.
I quickly went over to the weather channel website and got more details. It was telling me that at 2:50 this storm would be right where I was. The time was 2:45. All I wanted to do was to get home to my house and my kids. School dismissal is at 2:50. I fly out the door at work, jump in the van, pull to the end of the driveway away from all the trees and come face to face with this lovely wall cloud. I'm telling you I almost wet my pants. Since I only live 5 miles away I figured I would get home rather quickly. Well I thought wrong. About a mile away from work I started getting pounded by hail that was the size of half dollars. It was so loud inside my van. The intensity and the loudness was just insane. The whole lasted for about 5 minutes but I swear it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. No tornado actually touched down, but it tried forming several times out of this wall cloud. This shows the time elapsed photography from our news website:

This warning sign is located at a distance from abandoned factory buildings and just a few dozen yards from an occupied residential neighborhood. Much of the adjoining properties covering many acres near derelict asbestos manufacturing facilities in Ambler, PA, have been fenced-off and demarcated with such cautionary signage.
Not so certain though that airborne asbestos fibers would abide by such boundaries.

Hmmm it's so hot the slabs are exploding in the Grassmarket.
And if you are interested - here's the story...

Exploding Grassmarket slabs just couldn't stand the heat
Date: 11 June 2009
By MARK McLAUGHLIN
IT has taken almost a month of investigation by engineers but the mystery of the exploding Grassmarket pavement has finally been solved – it couldn't stand the heat.
Two slabs newly laid as part of the multi-million-pound revamp of the area cracked last month, with everything from a gas blast to an electrical fault being blamed.
Now experts have ruled that "thermal expansion", in the sweltering May heat of 16
was to blame for the Caithness slabs breaking.
They are confident, however, the problem was caused by a fault in two particular slabs and that the piazza should survive the summer unscathed.
City centre councillor Joanna Mowat said: "My sources tell me that it wasn't a mythological creature or some such thing that caused it. The answer was firmly in the realms of engineering.
"The council got an expert to look at it and he found that it wasn't an explosion underneath, but that it was due to thermal expansion.
"The heat causes the slabs to expand and the reason these two slabs had come up was because they were slightly flawed.
"I did initially find it hard to believe that this expansion could just affect two slabs, but I was assured that they were faulty.
"My immediate concern was that we were going to have stones erupting throughout the Grassmarket, but the project manager who assigned the expert to look at the slabs said it was isolated to these two stones."
A city council spokesman said that no other slabs in the area appeared to be affected.
He said: "(Engineers] did identify that there was something wrong with the thickness of the slabs. As you would expect, these slabs come under the influence of external forces, and as long as all of the slabs are of an even depth and width they can bear it, but if the slab is faulty and can't absorb that level of force it will 'pop'.
"They have identified these particular slabs as the only ones that are faulty.
"The contractors have accepted the liability for this and are making the necessary repairs at no extra cost to the council."
He added: "The contractor is currently on site carrying out the necessary remedial work. The area will reopen on Friday."
The area had been fenced off for the last month, to the annoyance of local traders who hoped that the workmen had gone for good when the £5 million revamp was completed in December.
Susie Christie, manager of Costume Ha Ha, whose shop stands close to where the slabs erupted, said the constant work has affected her trade.
She said: "Our recent footfall figures show that we were 40 per cent down last month, compared to the same period the year before.
"It's not been helped by the fact that there is currently refurbishment working going on in the building above us, and we're obscured by scaffolding.
"The work on the Grassmarket just seems never ending."

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.
