There it is 
I believe mayflies have just about reached number one for the nastiest and annoying insect.
Let me tell you about the mayfly. No ladies and gentlemen they don’t bite or sting, but they have a special ability, they land somewhere and then they die. Yes they die by the thousands on whatever they land on. Your porch, your car and in every spiderweb.
But that’s not all oh no. When they die they release their egg sack which cements itself and the bug to your car which you have to scrap off.
And last and not least, what is that rotting fish gut smell when you turn on your car or take a stroll in the yard? Yes you guessed it, it’s the pile of mayflies that have died in every nook and cranny and in your cars fresh air intake to the tune of three to four inches deep.
The best part is when the smell goes away, it happens all over again.
Yes the amazing mayfly ladies and gentlemen.

That's probably what happens. Really doesn't favor that much more than typical heat here 88-92. Good setup for Lakes, northeast, mid Atlantic heat though

Mid Atlantic heat ain’t too bad for Raleigh and northeastern nc . We are close enough. Maybe not Atlanta , oh well give it a week . I’m quoting these posts in a week if it’s hot ! I win ! 90 degrees here we come . Also why Lol? I mean it’s no secret I like the heat . Seriously though ,I’m not suggesting a heatwave or nothing just normal heat instead of coolness relative to normal.

I opened the door this morning and couldn't believe how good it felt. Amazing the difference lower dewpoints can make. I can breathe again, at least temporarily.
Indiana? Tennessee? NC? Timbucktoo? Accurate location is helpful.....

Made it to 54 this AM, with a 10-15mph breeze, nipply out!
Just got my can opener out... Lol
The headline sounds great but read the article. Over 6500 of the over 163 million fully vaccinated, contracted the virus and over 1200 died. We were told in the past that we couldn't use percentages as a means of justification for arguing against locking down and masking up, that 1 death was too many BUT now we can use percentages to encourage vaccinating.
Also I'll point out that is nearly 20% of those that did contract the virus after fully vaccinated that perished. Most were over 65 also
Just pointing out some numbers, read the articles and how things seem to change depending on the perspective.

About 99.999% of fully vaccinated Americans have not had a deadly COVID-19 breakthrough case: CDC
How rare are deadly breakthrough cases? The CDC said 99.999% of fully vaccinated Americans have not died from COVID.

Just got out of my follow up with my GI surgeon and he said they have seen an uptick in COVID hospitalizations at Rex but the media is blowing it out of proportion . Lmao . “ trust the science “ I think the non CDC , non government funded people of science are fed up with the media lies .Just got my can opener out... Lol

It's honestly kind of a dumb stat since it assumes that all vaccinated Americans were exposed which is likely not the case. It's just as bad as using the entire population of the US to arrive at the survival rate. Numbers dont lie, the people using them.Just got my can opener out... Lol

I do find the 20% rate of death a little concerning but then again is that biased high due to asymptotic cases?

Vidant which has several hospitals serving 28 eastern NC counties had gotten as low as 19 people in the hospital back in late June. That has now crept back up to 54. Nothing terrible or out of control but that is still a noticable increase.
My wife and I have to get the vaccine, and so does our son. We really don't have a choice, and it is really a rock and a hard place scenario for us. I absolutely hate having to do this.
I talked to the pharmacist, who administered our first dose today. I understand the efficacy numbers, and I think those make a decent case for the vaccine. But he couldn't sufficiently answer the most important question to me: How are we to have confidence that some serious complications are not going to show up a few years from now in those who took the medicine? Vaccines take years to vet this stuff out. How could all of that be sufficiently addressed in a mere few months?
@Jon is a pharmacist. Maybe he'll be able to answer.
Anyway, this guy got out of the hospital and almost died with the Delta variant a couple weeks ago. He had the vaccine prior.
How do we know the vaccine won't induce a more serious reaction to the virus, particularly as it mutates?
I don't know the answers to those questions, so I don't know how to feel better about being part of the experiment. Maybe Jon or somebody else knows. But this pharmacist said we're figuring it out as we go. That, I believe. It's a big experiment, and I don't think that most people who are enthusiastic about the vaccine understand that.
We very well may be sacrificing our long term health for a near-term benefit that might not turn out to be all that great, when all is said and done.

I'm in that same position beginning Sept. 1 (well I kind of have a choice but it's the lesser of 2 evils type of thing imo) but I totally agree. I'm truly not an anti-vaxxer as often labeled, but more concerned about potential long term effects, that I don't honestly believe there is any way to know that answer this early in the process. I've asked the question that if I or anyone else, that is mandated to take the vaccine, have any severe adverse reactions, who is liable? I've not got an answer to this question yet.

I agree 100%. I had the Delta virus and I can say its the scariest thing I've ever had, not because I was so sick but because how it weakens the body. It like to it moves through the body looking for weakness and that's why people have so many symptoms. It was so hard to breath and it was almost like you had to tell your body to breath which is scary crap for sure but I never felt sick so its just wired. I still don't think I would get the jab but if I had a gun to my head I would if I couldn't switch jobs or move to a different state. I hate that people are being put in your position to be forced to get it.
This^^^^ honestly should never happen
The humming noise from the 5g receiver in my arm is annoying

What job you got today? pressure washing, cutting grass? Car washing?
Maybe he's going around on the tour of the southern states to figure out where he wants to live. If that's the case I wish I had that much PTO days built up.
