Honestly, I haven't seen this much blue color on these kinds of charts for a while now. Could it be a corona effect...?

I'd say it's the background effect.

 

Spoiler

Blue means rain or cold weather? Because here the corona effect was suddenly having sunny and pretty warm weather for weeks on end :d 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Blue means daily high/low temperatures are below 1981-2010 average.

Well, after when has been a somewhat mild summer by our standards; California is in for a right melting by a heatwave this week. Lowest forecasted peak temperature in the next week is 39 C. 
 

On top of that, fire season has started in the Western United States. There’s a massive wildfire burning in the foothills outside my city at the moment. That, coupled with the heat, has created some deadly conditions for the next few days. I’ve had to stop roller speed skating for the time being because it’s not worth the health risk.

 

And on top of that, the heatwave is so bad that California will begin rolling blackouts to keep the electric grid from overloading.

 

So, we can’t go outside because of the fire, heat, and pandemic. Plus, there’s no relief inside because we’ll only have partial power. #funtimes

Today, it was 110 F, raining, and smoky outside all at the same time. There’s a bunch of wildfires burning throughout the state. Many people are still without much needed electricity because of the heatwave. I’m really sad for my state right now. I’m just hoping we can all pull together and get through 2020.

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season.
