Description of ichiban eggplant (long skinny purple)
These are absolutely wonderful. Note in the description one blogger is already growing them in the front yard (mine are safely in back, between the now defunct tomatoes and carrots).
The flowers they produce are absolutely wonderful. While they do better in full sun they also can tolerate shade.

For the locals: A Delta IV rocket is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral AFS tonight. The launch window is 2:45-3:04am EDT.
Hades~ The environment it's embed in is kinda low..1004mb. So big though..I'm thinking 915-920mb. If it really pulls it together it could go so much lower.
You can about see the eyewall replacements in the steps of the intensity chart.
Will be by when on full internet (this card is really slow)
Stay well!

Don't think my area had this type of advisory since 2005.
Well that explains the lizard on the chest. All I could find was this undead character..
Description
Tokage, a soul cursed to forever wander the world, unable to rest nor to join the reincarnation cycle, is now looking for its release.
This time Tokage enters the body of a newly dead girl named Yuuka, a shrine maiden. This body requires continual recharging from a highly spiritual person, whom the dead person must have had an attachment to. This person is Shinobu, a younger boy, who also lives in that shrine.
Thus starts the adventures of Tokage and Shinobu in a world gone mad, amidst the chaos and carnage that gravitates to an unsent soul draw.
Sorry about the heat ya'll. Noticed ya'll been lit up with heat lately.
Bogon~ suns just coming up. Looks like there may be a circulation left. Ma-on is certainly eating all the convection.
It is..check out that link. She's pretty hot for a manga.
Now the sun has been up a few frames, it's obvious Tokage is no more.. ASCAT conferms~ The lowest orange arrows are around where Korea last had her.
Just saw your photos over in LC's header. Neat. You must have great bunch of Space Shuttle memories tucked away.
Stuck under the big "H" here with no rain in sight for a long while.
Thanks for your comment in my blog.
:)
As for WPAC Ma-on ate everything else in the basin..92E & Tokage are gone.
Barefoot~ Hope you get your rain soon..
Aqua~I think it's barely more east of me now. Moving SSE

HWRF is favoring you..
Blu~ I could see the lightning from it there for a while. Was too far off to hear it. I wundered what the show looked like from the beach.
Told Rain last night it was (sooner or later) gonna get taken to the northeast. He did not like that.
He showed me the blob coming offa Africa, I said sorry, SAL or shear's gonna kill it. He did not like that, either.
Today it'll dry up, n we gotta mow. I am not Rain's friend this weekend...
On the other hand..a very recent kitchen counter-top installation has taught me to not be so jaded about things that don't appear likely to ever happen..

Fresh windsat
cool on the new countertop.
Clouds & wind made for an awesome pony ride. Took Skye out to the swamp one last time before it's swamped for the summer. It was blooming. Well not the sawgrass so not expecting a major or anything.. Skye ran & screamed.. he was like riding King of the Wind today.
It was only half the kitchen but it was only tore up 1 day, not 6 weeks:) I'm still in shock.

see its going SSE a 2 mph right now... Doesn't seem to be stacked very well... can see the low level sliping SSE...
Yeah~ I'm having trouble getting behind NE till it stops moving SSE. That ridge is digging a little deeper than models expected. Should move off NE if it doesn't get shoved too far. Looks detached from that from now too.

Scaled this back to the last 12hr model error since Bret is so young. So who's in the lead?
GFDN out front with a ~8nm error, slight lead over AEMN & AP01 (~10). AVNO, HWRF & NGP2 chasing with ~14/15. Unfortunately I got nothing on how the BAM models are doing.. NAM is doing better than usual with ~21, rest of the majors are trailing GFDL 33, CMC & NGPS 45.
