Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Not all heroes wear capes.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

When we show up, we win.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Well, that’s a relief to know that Tamara is okay, as are the ducks and dogs.

Scary stuff happening around Boulder.  Who else is in the area?  Are you okay?

    In GA it’s been unseasonably warm, which caused thunderstorms overnight.   My son texted and said the baby’s motion toys all went off.   Weather has been crazy.

I have noticed, though, that some of those reports (especially for flooding) now have a disclaimer that once-in-100-years events are occurring more frequently, and the weather service is considering adjustments to the classifications.

    @topclimber:

    Are wind gusts over 100 mph a one-in-100 or one-in-one year thing in Colorado?

    Gusts that strong are pretty common during Chinooks, especially in the Boulder area.  Boulder is basically in a wind tunnel, so the winds there are especially fierce.  Like the Santa Annas here in Southern California, the really strong winds come down from the mountains, and they’re warm and dry.  It’s perfect fire weather.

    Uh-oh.

    Official advice is “if you see fire, evacuate!”

    That was Boulder OEM as of this morning.

    I’m from Cali, and I know that our people don’t always evacuate when ya can see fire up on the ridge. It’s even awesome to watch when you know it’s heading up and away, not towards ya.

    But with 100 mile hour winds, that fire could come back down faster than ya can fly away from it.

    If you can pass on a message to ABL, maybe check if she is still in place or has taken the warning to evacuate after all …

It was a hot mess for a couple of days for everyone else.

    This Colorado situation is reminding me (yet again) that it’s a good idea to put together a go-bag in case I need to suddenly vacate my rooms in Threadkill Lane, for whatever reason. I’ve thought about it before but haven’t “gotten around to it.” ? But that’s the thing about emergencies—they’re “unlikely” until suddenly they happen. Hell, it could be something as simple as a neighbor (or me) starting a fire that damages the building. And the go-bag wouldn’t necessarily need to be a big production. Hmm, thinking about a list . . .

    Wow.  I’ve been driving all day and just now checking the news about Boulder.  Scary.  I drove my oldest daughter out to Jackson WY from the Portland area and we had about 600 miles of blowing snow to drive through.  Getting some serious blizzards up this way.   She is working at the ski resort there this winter and I didn’t want her to drive out alone so I grabbed my wife’s 4×4 Highlander and drove along with her and the younger kid to make sure she made it.  Because why not do a mid-winter road trip in a blizzard? Now we are returning and staying in Idaho Falls because hotels in Jackson are ridiculously expensive.  Just finished driving through 80 miles of blowing snow.  Kind of tiresome.  We have snow tires and to sets of backup tire chains so not gonna get stuck.  But it is slow going

    Oh, and no one fucking masks up in this whole state of Idaho. No one, except for the servers at Asian restaurants.  It’s like the pandemic doesn’t exist here.

    Semi on topic (emergency preparedness), today I received a 10-pack of Air Queen KF94 masks as part of my anti-Omicron initiative. Got them based on stuff I read and (I think) some recommendations here. They’re individually wrapped, which is nice, because I’m going to give several to my Trader Joe’s friend and keep a couple in the car.

    I have to admit that I have thought about stopping our weekly pickup and takeout run because of Omicron. TJ friend is working five days a week in retail. ’Nuff said about that. I’m picking her up tomorrow, because the store is closed on New Year’s Day, so I’ll discuss it with her then.

    The Air Queen mask looked a little narrow in the package, but once unfolded and deployed it works fine, and it feels very comfortable. I could see wearing it for an extended time, although most of my use will be to go into various stores for 20 minutes or so.

    I think I will still pick up some N95 masks, if only for the sake of comparison. And, the way things are going, it looks like they’ll all be put to use.

The fire glow of burning Superior in the dark sky was quite bright a half hour ago, now it’s fading, along with the fierce winds. I’m checking the real-time radar app on the iPad every few minutes to make sure it doesn’t get any closer, as well as the Boulder County evacuation map. So far so good.

A simpler time.

    @Kent: I can’t imagine the stress you two must go through on a daily basis. We are all humbly in our debt to you and your colleagues.

    @Dan B:

    if you are a driver, in good weather, the North Cascades roads are heaven. Tight twisty roads with climbs and descents with gorgeous scenery.

    Cruise control is not used.

    @Kent:

    social distancing and ventilation. I have 4 box fans set up in the box and one in the hood, all with 3M HEPA filters strapped on, front and rear. 1000 sq ft. The hood has a fresh air-vent from outside, ( roof) and positive flow, 800 cu/ft an hour. It’s designed for running engines indoors, in a closed space.

    Apparently cuts down airborne Covid by up to 60%.

    @persistentillusion: I was up in Summit County then. The winds over Breckenridge’s peaks were over 80 mph. A couple of the passes in CO went over 100.

    Our  late 1980s condo was creaking like mad, but it’s just flexible. :)

    Well, crap. That’s awful, and as a Californian I’m very sympathetic to all the Coloradans dealing with fires.

    My only real comment is… did they remember to rake their forests?

    I believe Baud was referring to the “dipshit in a truck stop,” not to Kent. Lighten up, Rev.

    Some happy news (via @TheRealHoarse):

    Even though I only have 2 followers I just needed to type this. After 21 years of being paralyzed on the right side of face. And after 12 hour facial reanimation surgery in September, I got the best Xmas present. I smiled for the first time in 21 years!! Yeah me ?!!!

    Now up to 1,727 followers.

    I am overwhelmed with the responses!! I’m smiling right now!! So a little about me. I have nf2 (non cancerous tumors on nerve endings). 21 years ago I lost both my hearing and smile (paralysis on right side) due to tumors being removed. After being completely deaf for 15 years

    We are on the west side of Westminster, below 128. The fires aren’t far, but didn’t approach us and we didn’t even pack a Go Bag. We do have a big reservoir to the west of us, and if a wildfire comes marching south down Wadsworth I will know Armageddon is here.

    Turns out that building masses of suburban, wood-stick houses on high dryland prairie that gets constant wind in the winter is pretty dangerous in a hot, dry world.

    Especially if they didn’t bother to bury the electric lines.

    We received pre-evacuation notice earlier today and have “go-bags” packed.  Safe so far.  Younger children are anxious,  and house pets are clingy, but we are safe and will remain safe.
