BREAKING: Not only were the June sea surface temperatures (SSTs) the warmest for any June on record, but the June departure from the 20th Century average was the largest for any month on record. 🔥 @AlaskaWx
@mivox @ArcticGoddess I’m just saying No no no no no to myself.
@grantbarrett @wayword also my daughter got the chance to speak with her afterwards. Probably the highlight of her month. Thanks!!!
@grantbarrett @wayword she did a great job!
@grantbarrett & @wayword we just bought tickets for Martha’s visit to Fairbanks, Alaska. :)

More serious talk:

This is especially important for people living in states with a Republican majority.

In 2022, the leading cause of death among children was gun violence.

There were no deaths involving a child reading a book.

There were no deaths because a child went to a drag show. (The greatest risk there, is a Christian showing up with a gun.)

Take a look at your children and ask if sacrificing their lives is really worth it, just to own the libs.

If your elected leaders are more concerned with limiting what your child can read or drag queens, than they are about your children reaching adulthood, you elected a very bad person.

@IdahoLark @mivox that would be appreciated. The trans-Pacific flights would be very difficult for him. But flying to Mexico we can plan shorter flights.
@richpav I’ve been in Vietnam and Thailand since the end of December and people are shocked to see me (Caucasian) wearing a mask. Particularly when they learn I’m from USA.
Does anyone out there know anything about medical tourism? My dad is desperately in need of a replacement knee, which insurance will cover. But first he has to get dental issues ($14k estimate!) dealt with, which insurance won’t cover. I’m considering flying him to Mexico for dental care. I just left Thailand, where I know he could get things done for a price we can afford, but he can’t handle the flight times to cross the Pacific.
