Indian Ocean one has a little convection..
Tropics~ Yeah, that's why I went back to shuttle pics after the squalline. Weather has been beautiful here.
Aqua~ Those are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. I've got to plant some of those. My first round of green beans is finishing up.
Planted a bit yesterday.. Busy day ahead. First up: going in to renew my driver's license. Wish me luck.
Saw a brushfire on west side of US1, somewhere between Post & Lake Washington Rd. Near a bunch of trailers in some woods around a retention pond. Smoke blew out over the Indian River.
My birth certificate that was my only one ever issued to me that has got me through to this point was deemed unacceptable to renew my drivers license. I had to drive near an hour away to get another copy of my birth certificate. For that all I had to show was my driver's license. The idiots that made these laws should be voted out. Wish me better luck tomorrow when I try for a license again.
Why on Earth, though, is the reasoning behind needing a birth certificate to renew? If you can fake an ID, you can fake a birth certificate, IMO.
Good luck tomorrow!
Here's an article from Tampa on it.
Bogon~ It is a FL thing. People are still fighting "real ID" in NC. There are all these stories in local Hometown News where people rant & rave about stuff, it's recurring topic. The laws changed a few years ago & now a lot of people are having a hard time renewing. It's all good online but when your year comes around that you have to come in with about every paper on yourself you can muster..the stories.. You need proof of every name change, every marriage & divorce certificate or proof of death on past spouses. Made a many mad elderly ladies with that law. I barely proved where I live even though it's on my licenses. They require several document with your address.
Ylee~ You've got a great point..I am lucky I was born here.

So cold! CMC has 91L remains in the area at the end of the run.
Fire map is maxed out in spots.. fire-free day wishes to all:)
Another something on the DMV, I knew the nightmare tales must have some merit when I saw the changes to the place. The workers were all, but the greeter, behind bars & bullet proof glass.
Another problem is although I have a mailbox here, all my bills and important stuff goes to a PO Box. Not acceptable, so have to change addresses on stuff, wait to get a couple bills in that have the street address on them, then change it back.
Stupid and anybody that wanted to fake an address could do so.
I've lived in the same place for a long time. I know a lot of cops and public officials. They know where I live, but soon, I too will have to jump through hoops.
The thing that makes me angriest is that the courts ruled that the states did not have to do this. Florida said "well, we've already spent the money to implement it so we'll keep it."
It would get pretty expensive for a woman who was born in another state, married in another state, then divorced and remarried, then moved to FL. If the state had to pay for all that paperwork (some states charge substantial fees) then this would all go away, but it's not their problem...
Not the DMV's fault, it came from Tallahassee.
It's costing citizens millions of dollars to comply in an economy where we could better spend the time and money on more important things.
This dry wind the past 36 hours has just about erased the rainfall over the weekend in my locale. Good to reiterate that drought is measured by overall soil moisture and groundwater levels, and not necessarily by rainfall deficit directly. These red-flag conditions are much worse than a nice breezy onshore flow.
(after missing 3 hours work).
I thought it was probably because she was chronically un-organized...(you have to know Mom to truly appreciate this)...Now I guess I'm proud of her for rising to the challenge instead of just going around with an expired license.
This law is kind of like getting rid of car locks that can be opened with coat hangers or car keys with $$$ chips. Thieves will find an easy work around, but those of us that own the car (or drivers license) have to go through hoops and money to get what is rightfully ours should we forget something.
Shout out to Aqua; your veggies look great!
It is not the government's function to hassle people. The government is there to help, to facilitate, to expedite. If it gets in the way, it can be replaced — by force, if necessary. That is the definition of democracy. That is how our present government was instituted.
1. The law is anti-women. It is married women who need to get a copy of their marriage license, which can be much more difficult to get than a birth certificate if you got married out of state. Also, any religious certificate won't pass, even if signed by the Pope or Pat Robertson or the Dalai Lama, etc.
2. The law is extremely anti-poor and especially anti-homeless. Any reasonable court should rule the law unconstitutional since it deprives homeless people of their civil rights. But the objective is to keep the growing masses of homeless "out of sight, out of mind", and prevent them from becoming a political force.
United States citizens are not obliged to answer to any certain name or to live in any certain place. They are not obliged to have money. When it comes right down to it, you don't need a license to drive a car. I'm thinking that, in Florida, an expired license may soon become a badge of honor.
One's identity does not inhere in a piece of paper.
Yes, like a lot of laws, it burdens law abiding individuals and fails to deter criminals. There are ways to work the system, as usual. Also, this particular law will likely result in more people driving around unlicensed and uninsured.
But remember...this is all for our own good and we should just get in line and follow orders.
In reality, it is just the government acting like they are doing something about a problem when they are not.

:o(
26 will mark 20 years since the FDA decided, at the behest of the biotech
industry and corporate agribusiness, and under the leadership of Michael Taylor,
to keep Americans in the dark about whether our food has been genetically
engineered or not. Thanks to Michael Taylor, genetically engineered foods don't
have to be safety tested or labeled, and the Food & Drug Administration
conducts no premarket review or approval, as long as Monsanto and their fellow
chemical pushers (Dow, Dupont, Syngenta, BASF) conclude that the genetically
engineered food is not "materially different" from normal food.
Twenty years later, Michael Taylor's FDA has rubber-stamped Dow's conclusion
that their Agent Orange Corn (genetically engineered to resistant massive doses
of the herbicide 2,4-D used in Agent Orange) is comparable to normal corn.
Tom Vilsack's USDA is ready to give Agent Orange Corn final approval. Soon,
we'll be eating unlabeled corn engineered with genes from a soil bacterium that
isn't killed by 2,4-D herbicide - something we've never eaten before, and that's
never been safety tested.
2,4-D is currently the 7th largest source of dioxin pollution in the US and
is toxic to the eye, thyroid, kidney, adrenals, ovaries/testes, and neurological
system. Agent Orange Corn is projected to increase 2,4-D use 50 times over.

Now that my license is renewed, human nature sinks in..as long as I don't have to deal with it..kind of sinks down the priority list. Celebrating human nature with some Monsanto Bashing..there's one that hasn't faded but become darker & more troublesome.. Agent Orange corn anyone? No? Better consume organic corn only.
90% of Vermonter's are backing the Governor to sign a bill to label GMO. It looked like a sure thing til last minute Monsanto promised to sue the heck out of the state. Last I saw citizens were gathering money to fight the lawsuit on behalf of their state.
Ya'll rant, rave & comment on. Reading it all.
Fed some spent corn to the ponies yesterday, waiting on seedlings to pop up. Eating alot of cabbage, onions, brussel sprouts, peppers, some cucumbers, cherries are in. Not the best year for blueberries. Grow watermelon..grow:)
Juslvn~ Hey! I was in your blog the other night. Should have commented.
Never seen this anomily before..

ASCAT missed.
Tropically all the invests that flared yesterday are dead today. 97W is the only survivor.
As for the local moisture. The Bahamas & SFL look to be the real winners of the rain.
Skyepony (the actual pony) was feeling the surface trough south of here, wind would kick up a little & he'd want to go..pranced around more than usual. Fun ride.
The ants are moving to high ground.
There is an Upper level Low over SFL & Bahamas is venting the trough, causing diffluence, especially on the east side, over the Atlantic & Bahamas. So can't rule out a more rain for East Central FL. Little going on now north of Orlando, incoming shower headed for the Cape.
This should continue on about another day. More heavy rain for SFL/Bahamas is possible. Models then call for the different features to move away from each other, weakening it. There is so much shear around. The bulk of the moisture may make it to LA before being slowly pushed back east over much of the Southeast over the next week.
I second Louisclocks motion! May can be a very dramatic month, waiting to see when the dry season breaks and the rains begin.
