Does anyone know the weather in New Jersey? What temps has my state had recently? What will be the high temperature in NJ when we return late Monday afternoon??

Monday, sunny, 90* high, no rain

Thanks

I have 5 minutes left and then we have to head back to the tour bus. Our days that we got off the boat were all excellent days. Alaskans keep telling us how lucky we have been. Sunshine and 80F two days in a row. Yesterday our final day was cool and foggy but it was a day at sea ...no port of call. Today in Anchorage is sunny and in the low 60s.

You have discerning tastes in fine cinema. Turner CLASSIC Movies -- The Blob reached that elevated status just a soon as it was released, back in 1958, and remains at the pinnacle, of quality, educational movies that have withstood the test of time!!

Hahaaa...!!!





I like that it stars Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut. McQueen of movie fame, of course, and Corsaut mostly known for playing Helen Crump on the Andy Griffith show and, it's spinoff, Mayberry RFD.
And, it was both of their film debuts...!!!

According to accuweather, Brick Township will be 86. It has been in the upper 90’s this past week. Today is the first not as hot day.

Did you have a few cocktails with your dinner?

That must have been really cool to see a Batmobile. It's surprising you saw one, and you weren't in California (where one would assume they'd have the cars in some studio warehouse, etc.) However, not sure how many of them were made, and perhaps one or more were sold at public auction, perhaps? Can you imagine driving one of those around town, and the looks you'd get?!

According to the site below, there were a total of 4 built for the mid-60's TV show...the #1 car and 3 replicas.
George Barris (the creator of the car) owned the #1 car until he sold it at auction in 2013 for $4,200,000.
Even if the replicas were only worth 1/4 that, I can't see anybody just casually driving a $1,000,000+ car down a public highway. If that thing's goin' any appreciable distance I would imagine it being towed in a covered trailer.
I'm guessing that car was probably a knockoff replica of the original cars.
Or, I guess the owner of an original could have lost his mind, or gotten really drunk, or has taken out enough insurance (or all 3 ) to cover it bein' a total loss.....

32C ( 89F )
With thermal feeling of 42 (BRUTAL 107 F)

I was mere minutes out in the parking lot and I felt like fainting.. the humidity is incredibly hot.
Hopefully that monstrous anvil shaped storm cloud will dump the contents on us.

In something completely different.
If Neymar spent all that time he tried to get a penalty or foul by flopping like a fish, he would have netted the goal they needed.
So much soccer talent wasted in acting.
De Bruyne was masterful as well.

Also.. Brazil had sooo many chances.. Curtuois(Goalkeeper of Belgium) was huge.

I thought she looked familiar!

I have no idea what the red flower was either, but it was amazing looking. Why can’t we have cool flowers like that in the North.

Sympathy like.

I promise not to post a pic of our spring wildflowers.

My family and I watched it as well! As well as The Magnificent Seven right after it! TCM is pretty much the only TV channel we watch nowadays...

I watch TCM quite a bit these days.
Good stuff.

How about dandelions? (Oh wait . . . that's a weed . . . )

Dandelion salad with bacon and mushrooms...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Longer growing season ad cool foliage is on my list of reasons to move to Florida. I have a pro/com list going and the pro side is 3 pages long the con side had 5 entries

Con side, let's see...
Humidity, bugs, critters, hurricanes, and...........I can't think of a 5th.....

Not fair to make one misty in the am All my dh got was a SW card and a new lunch bag. I have to admit the bag is rather nice. It has an insulated lunch area and several large pockets that fit a lap top or papers

What is hot to you? The highest on average the temperature gets here in the summer is 87. Of course there are a few days like today and yesterday that get in the 90's, but usually it is in the 80's.

These are our temp and rain averages...!!!!!!!
