Nice and sunny afternoon if a bit nippy. Am looking forward to a BIG high tide at 8 pm tonight, which should come in at 5.5 metres / 18 feet. Just as well it's a calm day, or otherwise some people here in Stornoway would have wet feet.
Not much happening on the tropical front, apart from a tropical depression east of Tuxpan in Mexico, which will be giving them a drop of rain - 5 to 15 inches to be precise - and a bit of wind, up to 55 mph when the thing comes ashore this weekend. I warned about some disturbances out in the Atlantic - well, nothing just yet.
Everybody is making a lot of bluster about the appalling situation in Birma (Myanmar), but until India and China stop backing up that regime, nothing much is going to change. The junta there have been in power for over 20 years, and backing from the regional powers has kept them there. It is dreadful that they are firing live ammunition at their own people, and unacceptable.

I find that whole situation unacceptable as well :( Some being shot are monks.
ReplyDeleteCurious, did the high tide come in high enough to wash out the deceased whale, perhaps with some pushes?
The tide was very high as we crossed the Purdy Bridge from the freeway to the highway that goes out to Bob's house, yesterday. It was about 3:30pm in the afternoon and I was really suprised to see it that high. Linda in Washington state
