President Donald Trump stood in the East Room of the White House on Thursday night, his top law enforcement and intelligence leaders assembled before him, and told the country that its elections had been left open to being “rigged.” His administration released intelligence that, he suggested, would prove it.
Probably something quick, like a Mortadella sandwich. Going to bring my mom, uncle, and aunt into SF and Sausalito probably around lunch time after I do a good amount of work.
Woke up to an AQI of between 250-300 and a code purple air alert. Friday I usually only do a short, slow run but I passed on even doing that. The view from the carillon across the street gives an idea of how smoky it is.
I hope the World Cup final doesn’t get smoked out too badly. Be careful with all the particulates. If you have a N-95 from the heyday of COVID dust it off and wear it
The World Cup final is not under any threat despite the air quality warnings in the area, sources have told ESPN.
Health alerts have been issued by officials in New York and New Jersey after wildfires from Canada, which are impacting large parts of the northeastern U.S.
But Sunday's final between Argentina and Spain at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is not concerning FIFA as the weather forecast improves, sources told ESPN.
I’m sure the fans from Spain have no love for him given his recent bashing of Spain. I also read earlier that the U.S. anthem will be performed even though we’re not in the game.FIFA head is a total Trump bootlicker.
sometimes I wonder if Infantino is less of a Trump bootlicker and more of a Trump manipulator. Like, he's pretty much gotten whatever he wants from the United States as primary host nation, and all he had to do is stupid shit like make up a stupid trophy to give to Trump. FIFA interacts with despots and tyrants all the time so Gianni certainly knows how the game is played.
I got extremely lucky. Guessed the one country I knew was in this region and guessed the other when it showed I was close. I guess watching early 80s WWF did pay off.

The documents did no such thing.

I see that your particulate level is really high, but the ozone level is low. So an N95 or KN95 mask should help.
High of 72 today, with the next 10 days being mid to high 70s.

Harrison Ford movies
biased by the fact that i like Star Wars so much and he was such a big part of it
maybe my favorite line .. "well then i will see you in hell" when faced with going out to look for Luke on the Hoth Ice planet.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, top 2 or 3 for me.
Although I do love him in Shrinking.
Never saw Bladerunner.
What's interesting is I'm looking at his Filmography in IMDB and he hasn't been in as many movies as I thought he had.
He got critical raves for Bladerunner, but I wasn’t that moved. What did convince me of Ford’s talent was Regarding Henry.
I’m also a big fan of Shrinking.
I think I saw Regarding Henry but don't remember anything about the movie.

Not sure I believe all the smoke will be gone in 48 hours.
Trump wants to go to the finals to present the winners the trophy. I hope he gets booed worse than Tiger did in 2009, the start of his downfall.
I’m sure the fans from Spain have no love for him given his recent bashing of Spain. I also read earlier that the U.S. anthem will be performed even though we’re not in the game.FIFA head is a total Trump bootlicker.

Morikowa -2 after day 2. Currently T23. Leader at -8.
Max Homa E, tied for 49
Michael Kim +5, projected to miss the cut.
Last I had checked it didn’t look good for Homa but he eagled 17 after birdieing 15 to get in
