Tuesday 5 August

Nice bright, if cool day, with a brisk wind blowing. We're once again at 60F, but the sun takes the edge of the lower temperatures.

Upper Texas has taken delivery of tropical storm Edouard, which was a notch or two below hurricane strength; 55 knots (65 mph) were the strongest sustained winds on landfall at the McFaddin Nature Reserve. The storm is moving into central Texas where it will dump a lot of much-needed rain. Edouard disrupted oil production and deliveries.

Germany's WPC's are being issued with bullet-proof bras. Ordinary bras, when struck by a bullet, would have their wiring pushed into the underlying tissues, causes serious injury. Read more here.

  1. I'll glady send some of our predicted 87* weather to you....87* means it will be 95* plus in my house. Ughhh!  Bullet proof bras, huh?  Well, I'd have never thought of that but I'm glad someone did. I can understand why it could cause serious injury. Have a good evening...Linda in WA

  2. Been pouring down with rain here Guido, very overcast and quite chilly.  Maybe our police women should follow suit.

  6. A bullet-proof bra is actually a really good idea!  I wonder why no one has thought of it before.

  7. The bra's sound like a good idea..... maybe the British police should follow suit.
