Oh, this looks promising. I have been using kind of shabby online services for a while, and this one seems to be accurate (for now) and possibly easy to parse. Will check.

A girl just quit at where my wife works and is relocating to Oregon.
Last friday was her last day.

Southern Oregon on the Cali border to be more precise.

From the frying pan < our summer outdoor temps > to the fire.
Tee Hee. What a time to move. What a pick to move to.

I guess I'll share my conky weather line. Good only for the present day < no forecasts > set up for Pecos Texas.

Code:

${texeci 1800 curl 'wttr.in/Pecos?q?0?T'}

You may think t****ci is a misstype. But my conky readout runs with it. You can remove those letters and just type exe < what I **** left out >

Good tip, thanks. I wish the service offered a single line output, which would have made things easier.

I love conky. These days, I am using a homebrew replacement, which is very similar, but everything is configured at compile time, and curl is integrated.

Much thanks from North Texas @rokytnji! Haven't used Conky yet. I'll check it out sometime, loving Slackware so far!

POTUS said yesterday: "It'll start getting cooler". He's certainly right. What we don't know is: will this happen before human kind's extinction?

I have visited California long ago (in 1987) with pleasure and am very sad for Californians.

Insane. When women beat men, it's a sight to see.

Guinness World Record

Event: World Surf League
Surfer: Maya Gabeira
Location: Nazaré, Portugal
Height of wave: 73ft

Whether Heather should tether the weather to a leather feather or whether Heather should tether a leather feather to the weather? Now say that 13 times as fast as you can, replacing any "short e" vowel sound with a screech: sounds just like the old dialup modems!

The first thought I had when I read that was:

"Heh heh heh. Oh, Andy Capp. You wife-beating drunk." - Homer Simpson

Does that make me a bad person?

I know nothing about surfing, but that is a perfectly apocalyptic wave. Wow.

The weather changed drastically at Salt Lake City, Utah. Just last week it was warm and sunny. But this week seems to be completely opposite. The weather data I got from ClimaCell shows rains and snow all week long. even the news channels are issuing warnings. Seems we are going to face the coldest weather in 142 years.

Just by coincidence I was looking at the Nazare surfing last week. The other impressive surfing location in Europe is Mullaghmore, in Sligo, Ireland, which was in the news last week. The waves aren't as huge as Nazare but they're probably less predictable and more dangerous.

Blah, blah, blah - figuratively speaking - weather? Rarely I come out - sitting all the time at computer reading posts on LQ.

Meanwhile here in South Texas we are still using air conditioning at night...hitting 81 today and it's been close to 80 for the past week. I wish it would get colder soon. Well, that's relative: our 'cold" is 30's (F). Northern US is sub 0.
