Coming up tonight at 19:19 BST / 20:19 CEST: the September Equinox! This image from @eumetsat’s Meteosat-12 satellite, captured this morning, shows Earth on the equinox — when the terminator line runs from pole to pole, dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark. From space, it appears as a strikingly vertical line.
A full-disk satellite image of Earth taken from space. The planet is divided into two nearly equal halves: the left side is completely dark, while the right side is fully illuminated. The dividing line between day and night — called the terminator — runs straight from the North Pole at the top of the globe to the South Pole at the bottom. The illuminated half shows Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia under scattered white cloud systems. Deserts like the Sahara are visible in shades of tan, with green areas marking forests and vegetation.

I’ve been a little quiet lately and it’s time to tell you more. For those counting, I’m 2-0 against cancer, but all the treatment I’ve gotten since pancreatic cancer in 2016 has been cumulatively taxing. I am frail and weak, near 5’ 9” and only 130 pounds.

If I do nothing the cancer(s) will kill me. That’s a painful way to go. With hospice I’m given the opportunity to stay just drugged enough to avoid the worst. And a guarantee I can die at home. So, I’ve chosen how to die – out of pain. At the moment nothing is necessary.

I feel fine. As has been the case in the past I’ll tell you all about what’s going on when there’s something to tell. At the moment I’m weak and waiting.

Erin will parallel the coast then head out-to-sea. The official hurricane forecast goes out five days. I have other tools which go out farther. In this case the signs Erin will be picked up late this week by the upper air westerlies is pretty emphatic Some storms are easy.

Some hurricanes are easy to forecast, others impossible. I've seen tropical system on this track lots of times. It will likely miss the East Coast, get picked up by the westerlies and shunted into the Atlantic.

Why does AI treat me like it's Eddie Haskell and I'm Mrs. Cleaver?

Working on this graphic, which I think is finished. Should autoplot any storm automatically while adjusting the labels' angle to fit no matter which direction the storm chooses.

56 years ago last night, while Neil Armstrong was relaxing after having walked on the Moon, I made my professional broadcasting debut on WSAR - Fall River, MA. Here is the first thing I played!

Forecast map for tonight at 7p. This is why I'm not optimistic for the @Phillies playing.

At one point in my career I made a lot of money and paid a lot of taxes... and it still left me with a lot of money. I want to hear the wealthy make the case for why they need more.

It doesn't look great for the @Phillies tonight. Some wicked storms southwest of DC right now.
