Grateful Dead

peace through music Watching the projections for the hurricane. Coming just a little too close to Jones Beach just in time for Phil and Phrends.Better start singin' now ..."Bertha don't you come around here any more"!!!

ya'll better duck back into that barn door so as not to get a drop on ya! i know its novato, mickey had a barn there, so it makes sense to me

On USA Today website there is a story about the Hurricane Bertha and how it reminds the author of the Grateful Dead song. I have attached the link. http://blogs.usatoday.com/weather/2008/07/bertha-dont-you.html

There was a hurricane named Bertha just a few years back that hit S. Carolina I think.. I remember ABC World News playing the Dead's Bertha on the evening news for the story.

Brookings, Oregon, on the southern Or. coast had a high temperature of 108 degrees on July 8th.

1st storm of the season arrived last nite, they had to cancel my daughters swim meet cuz of all the lightin' , beautiful lightshow by mother nature and the thunderboomers just rolled on forever.

85F at 6AM? And pushing 100% humidity? What a great day for the quarter and semi final rounds of my club championship. Hopefully it will melt my competitors instead of me. My alarm clock went off at the crack of dawn. I changed it from disturbingly annoying bleating to commercial radio. And instantly on comes Scarlet. I'm taking that as a good sign! And how do I mark my Titleist? With a red and blue bolt, of course... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

In Eastern Romania yesterday we had 47.5C = 118F in the mountains in the North now thank goodness :-)

Its a grand day in the Blue Ridge!Just shy of 85, not a cloud in the sky. Climbing Mt. Pisgah today. Highest peak in the Mts. Everybody enjoy the day!

just like Mr.Pid said... 85 degrees at 8am...and climbing its 12 noon now and 95 degrees... ouch..... the worst thing is that in NJ its all HUMIDITY.... its a smoker........

woke up to rain, thunder and lightin! ahh,the desert smell so good after a storm, creosote, sage, mesquite! should make for a nice moist day, kinda feels like when you toss water on the charcol in the grill... pure heat with a wet smell, it did bring the temp down to 99* though. does make cold beer taste so much better floatin in the pool. clouds will be perfect for climbing this afternoon, must prepare myself : ) have a beautiful day peace

Humid in Phoenix: almost sounds like an oxymoron. Just did a road trip to Nashville for some honky tonkin, then down to Ft Myers to see my in-laws, followed by a long drive back to KC. Billboard images are still flashing in my brain. Corn crop looks good, so we should be able to make more ethanol and pay higher food prices. KC today is 94 in the shade, and my yard looks like a blow torch hit it: the lush green spring growth is OVER! I'll be out doing CPR on my tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and bush beans. "... I knew right away she was not like other girls....other girls'..."

Fogged in as usual, in SF, in July- almost to point of rain-we call it "Fogging" about 54 degrees crossed the GG bridge by noon it was sunny & 72 degrees .......colder in July than in the winter there............we still laugh alot about it ........natural air conditioning..........

Here in Virginia we are baking in dry heat--relatively low humidity for this area--in the 90s for the past 3 days. Only a few small cumulus clouds & no rain or much wind... "The sky was yellow & the sun was blue..." Jay

The Garden State is sticky, hot, breezy, warm nights......Summer is the best.

very cool although sun is rising here in Cornwal Uk bright and blue as it gets let your livelight shine right on me , a little higher , nah like really higher flowing in the tidal streams in the thermals like a spider on a thread, whoosh peace

62 degrees at 10 AM here on the Oregon coast with the fog starting to burn up. It usually stays in the 60's during the summer on the coast. But if you want it hot all ya gotta do is head up the river a few miles and it will be in the 70's, a few miles more and it's in the 80' s, and keep going and you'll hit the 90's and be ready for swimmin. Get to hot and just head back to the coast and nature's air-conditioning cools you off. I love it!

in New Jersey today 80 degrees and plenty of sunshine ..... skipping off to a Jerry Tribute tonight Missing Jerry :(

what a day the sun is shinein bright the breeze is blowin cool n no humidity feels like home(~):-}

Ike roared through Erie yesterday, bringing 40mph sustained winds and gusts over 50mph. I'm glad we don't live near the coast lines I feel for you people. Not only the winds but the rains as well. Positive vibes for the folks that live in Texas all the way up through the Ohio valley.
