So much for the National Weather Service
Wacka replied to Roundybout's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Empty out the NOAA offices in CA. ship them to places where there's real weather like Buffalo, Tornado Alley and and Florida during hurricane season. 😀The weather in CA is the same all the time. Make one forecast and repeat it weekly -

So much for the National Weather Service

My friend worked at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. His first job was superimposing the state lines on the photos from the GOES satellites. He said if he screwed up the US was in the middle of the Atlantic. Think they drew them by hand? He later became the director of the office that told the Hubble where to point and other commands. Almost didn't come back to Buffalo for one Christmas because they would be on call during the Hubble Repair Mission. They postponed it a few weeks. Gave me a heads up about 6 months before they released the "Pillars of Creation " photo. They would get the data and send it to another NASA office to get the color pictures (they were made by combining pictures taken with red, green and blue filters). A lot of the people involved in the collection and processing of the NOAA data aren't even in NOAA. -

David Johansen (New York Dolls/Buster Poindexter) died Thursday at age 75. As Buster Poindexter he was the bandleader on SNL for several years. He also acted. I remember him as one of the ghost] of Christmas Past in Scrooged (the disheveled cabbie one). He had stage 4 brain cancer since 2020 and fell and broke his back in several places in November.

He learned "You can't aways get what you want." Our HS had an enormous front lawn (which is now the middle school). I had the hardass English teacher for study hall in 1st period and for senior elective (Mythology) in 3rd. There was a guy in study hall chewing gum. He told him to throw it out the window by saying "Go feed the snowbirds (seagulls). In 3rd period the same guy was also n my class and was chewing gum again. He said to the guy, " What did you do?, wrestle it back from him?" At the beginning of the year, he was telling us about what mythologies we'd cover. He listed Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian,etc and ended with Polish. A girl with a Polish last name started laughing. He said " Hey xxxxxxxxski, what to hear a Poish Myth?- you graduating." Still remember these 50 years later. -
Was probably the really before the end.

If term limits are rescinded, who would you vote for?
Wacka replied to Just Jack's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You can vote for them just as you can vote for Donald Duck. They just can't serve as the Amendment (don't remember the #) to theConstitution states. -

Battle at Balboa 1965 AFL Championship Game
Wacka replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
First time I watched color TV at someone's house. Had seen color TVs in the store, but my uncle, who worked at Chevy (was good $ then) had just bought one. He invited everyone over for the game. We didn't get one until 1968. -

It's Time to Mandate Vaccines
Wacka replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The MMR came out when I was in around 3rd grade. Got Measles and Rubella but not mumps. Got the MMR vaccine as soon as it came out. Never knew anyone that got the mumps before the vaccine. I remember in 1st grade (1963), the teacher going down the aisle in the morning and looking on the kids backs for the measles and telling the kid to go to the nurse. -
The Price Of Gas Is Rising Across The Nations
Wacka replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Don't they usually raise it when they switch to the spring blend. It's about time for that. The price has not risen a cent in WNY since the New Year. -
Read after my last post that her mom said that she probably rejected the liver and that started during the last year. You have to take anti-rejection meds the rest of your life several times a day. I have to take 9 pills (3 different meds per day). Had to go get blood tests to check the levels weekly at first , but then slowly spaced them out so now I go monthly. Of course, even if you follow the regimen exactly, your body can reject the transplant. Plus there is no equivalent if a liver "dialysis" to fall back on as there is with kidneys.

Sounds like an inefficient local government. My mom dates on the 321st of the month. Before the end of the month we got a letter saying her benefits were terminated.because of COVID we had to wait 10 days bury her. Assign as the county got the death certificate from the Hospice or the undertaker, they notified SS. That letter came before she was in the ground. Your brother could have also gone to the local SS office.

I doubt she had the liver transplant this week. They may have announced it this week. I had a kidney transplant and then caught the flu in the ICU. That is even bigger surgery. They want to have you in the hospital a few weeks to be sure the new organ is working well. Also spent a week in rehab to get my strength and stamina back up.

Only time there was driving through I-80 in 1995 while moving to CA. LLots of exits on the map, but most were just roads going N-S into the hills. I( think that was where I put the radio on scan and it went around the dial back to the station I was on.
