Had Des Moines at 60% chance and we got not even a sprinkle tonight. The rain Gods have not been kind to the metro this summer.
Just wanted to come back around on this because @ChrisMWilliams and Hassell discussed pay during the ESPN layoff segment of Monday's 2GNC (right around the 45 minute mark if you want to listen to it). They mentioned that someone who is new(er) in the media industry signed their first contract for $25k LESS than what one of their coworkers first contract a number of years ago.
Regardless of the last couple of years of inflation you are looking at decades of slowly rising inflation etc. with declining pay.
Finally got some damn rain. Was very spotty and hit or miss but I'd guess around half to three quarter inch.
Problem with ESPN is they have been tanking and losing money. Maybe they were over paying people before? If the demand isn’t there but you still have decent supply, then wages will either hold or drop.
felt like fall last night
ready for football season.

And no smoke either. Forecast for the next week looks pretty much like the today map for each day for our southern peeps. Little chance of rain up north my way but at least it isn't 90-something.
Some dry/dead leaves were on the ground today after a big rain yesterday and it smelled like fall for sure.
I've still got lots to do for the summer but I got pretty excited for the gluttony of football Saturdays.
Was in Algona for the fourth. Rained well when we came out of the theater. Nothing in north Winnebago though. Been even drier up here
Was at a softball game in Mason City tonight. 62 degrees at game time.
59 when the game was over. Gloves, coats and blankets were in use. Late September? Nope, July 7.

An Autumnal Nip is in the air.
Viva Des Moines!

We just deleted several postings here.
If you want to talk current weather in the midwest and extreme weather events around the country this is the thread.
If you want to talk global warming, well, that's going to go political and you know it. Don't play stupid and pretend otherwise. It's not a good look. There's a Cave forum thread for it. Use it.

On that note of warming..........anyone remember the heat wave of 1995? It was happening about this time of year and peaked around the 12-13 of July. Around 700 people died in Chicago alone. On the 13th Cedar Rapids had a heat index of 131. Heat indexes of 120+ were common in the entire midwest for many days in a row. The temp. at Sioux City on the 12th was 108...............................at 6pm!
I really, REALLY appreciate the weather we are having now.
