This is wild. According to some weather data (this blends a bunch of model data together), Oklahoma may be the wettest place in the nation during the first 10 days of June.
While rain is likely for much of America, the highest values for rain are centered over a good portion of Oklahoma. The 2nd wettest place in the nation, South Florida.
When you're surpassing Florida in rain, you know that's a big deal !

We received 7 inches of rain here in May, and 22.75 inches for far this year. No one except the people living in low lying areas and along rivers and creeks is complaining.

We got 5" here, and this year is feeling kind of droughty. A place ~20 miles away got 4" one day last week (we only got 2.25" that day). This has been the best month for rain so far this year.

LOL about the switch. I don't do the physical installation of stuff in data centers, but switches are part of my job. I used to work with a guy that said "there's no such thing as 'temporary'," and he was absolutely correct. I've seen lots of temporary that ended up being permanent for many years whether it be installation, hardware models, crappy cabling, weird configuration, whatever...

I believe this was supposed to be the bridge from Corpus Christi to Padre Island a few years back.

They recently, mostly finished widening a portion of I10 just west of Brookshire, Texas, and this is the speedlimit sign that has been installed for months now (there are two, one for the westbound lanes and another for the eastbound lanes).
I think that means that the speed limit is unlimited, right?

I had to undo the nest building that this little wanker worked on every day for 3-4 days until he gave up.

When me moved to Japan the first time my parents knew that the power was different. Many electronic appliances have a switch to change to different power standards. My mom had a stand mixer, but there was no 50Hz/60Hz switch. Dad wasn't sure that the frequency would impact the motor so they brought it over. I don't know what happened exactly because I was 8, but I do remember that they let the smoke out and mom got a new mixer.

I had no idea that the power was different North/South though. That seems really odd.

A U.S. Marine approaches a Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima, March 16, 1945.
The Japanese soldier was buried for 1 1/2 days in this shell hole, ready with a live grenade inches away from his hand. The Marines feared he might be further booby trapped after knocking the grenade away from him. Promising no resistance, the soldier was removed from the hole and taken prisoner.

On May 27, 1870, the Chisholm Trail was featured in the "Kansas Daily Commonwealth."
From 1867 to 1884, ranchers used this major livestock route to transport cattle from Texas to Kansas during the post-Civil War era.
