The Sun Reappears

Just now, a thinning of clouds and a hint of sun, and the rain has stopped. Looks like this mess is now the northeast's problem after dropping 1.9" here yesterday and overnight. I'm still a little groggy after the World Series marathon last night. I hung until a little after 3am midway through the 17th inning. Looks like the Dodgers won with a walk-off homer in bottom of the 18th... Feeling another afternoon nap coming! But, now it's about time for a dog walk and creek check on a fairly mild Saturday morning.
Another busy day in the shake prone planet; 56 quakes in last 24 hours but no big quakes (only 3 above mag. 5) but lots in the 4 range and Greece still having offshore aftershocks. California is a little shaky today (Dodger celebrations still..) and a 3.4 quake in AZ. Japan is the home of two of the three 5+ quakes today and the western Pacific rim is, as usual, all shook up. Burma and South Africa are minor outliers.
The sun continues to win out over the clouds (although as I typed that the clouds blocked the attempt at clearing) but the battle will go on until Tuesday before the nor'easter is gone and the cold front charging our way will arrive and linger tomorrow night. The shrinking gibbous moon will be up mid-evening and likely continue the, now you see me, now you don't, dance with the clouds.
Be prepared for muddy conditions but get out and enjoy what's looking like a fairly nice Saturday, Today on Earth.

And still the self-loving idiot named Chump

Claims to have slowed the nastiness he does dump

And, always blame his lies

On the free press to disguise

That's he's a moron speaking out of his rump!
