Apologies for lack of clues. My hosting provider ran out of disk space again. Just waiting for them to sort that out and then I'll upload. Not sure how long it'll take

4:54 am

licketySplitAUS

Glad it's a small'ish one

5:01 am

MollyL

Thanks Lickety

5:16 am

Lickety. Thank you for your update.

Thank you very much, Lickety!

6:12 am

HarryHood

good morning

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Harry. How are you?

6:12 am

HarryHood

still kicking

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Me too.

6:13 am

HarryHood

that's a victory

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I went from horizontal to vertical an hour ago. That's always a victory.

6:14 am

HarryHood

:)

6:14 am

HarryHood

I seem to have lost my voice. not sure if it's because of the smoke from canada

6:14 am

HarryHood

or a cold. or allergies

6:14 am

Scrabbler

THat started for me on Saturday so I presume it's the smoke.

6:14 am

HarryHood

oh! good data!

6:15 am

HarryHood

though a little concerning, like what's in that smoke that's making my throat wonky

6:16 am

bichon

My eyes are burning

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I skipped hiking yesterday but today I will use a mask.

6:16 am

HarryHood

wow! how awful

6:17 am

HarryHood

my girls are having rotten symptoms too. and one is asthmatic

6:17 am

Scrabbler

When I smelled smoke yesterday I knew it was strong.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

It's like sitting next to a campfire.

6:18 am

HarryHood

you're much closer than we are

7:07 am

Kiani

hello all

7:07 am

sukee

I smelled smoke here in Kitchener yesterday

7:08 am

Kiani

also very smoky here the past several days

7:22 am

bichon

We have had a very eerie yellow light

7:28 am

aslindy

hello all

7:30 am

aslindy

it's been smoky/hazy here too

7:30 am

aslindy

no list today?

7:31 am

hokie carla

air alert here but I haven't noticed any smoke. apparently it's pretty smoky in charlotte because I didn't even know there were fires until I heard that last night.

7:33 am

hokie carla

lickety addressed the list problem down in the chat (still on screen). maybe someone has it in their profile.

7:33 am

dauber

broll has it in her profile.

7:34 am

hokie carla

yep, Broll does

7:34 am

aslindy

yes, I should have looked before I asked. not really awake yet.

7:34 am

hokie carla

ha, pinch/poke, you owe me a coke

7:43 am

MollyL

Wow, that Canadian wildfire air has worked it's way down here. We have poor air quality alerts because of it.

7:43 am

MollyL

I have Broll's list in my profile.

7:44 am

hokie carla

yes, we do too even further south

7:44 am

aslindy

where are you located, molly?

7:44 am

mael

it's brutal here in MA, my son had a baseball game last night and I don't think the kids should have been out

7:44 am

MollyL

DC area

7:45 am

MollyL

They shouldn't have mael. The air quality alert specifically mentions that the air is dangerous for children.

7:45 am

mael

it's a little better here in MA than in NY and DC but it's surreal to look at the window

7:46 am

mael

but you're right, they should have cancelled it

7:47 am

hokie carla

mr. homie tells me we had an alert yesterday too. I did have a short coughing fit out of the blue on my bike ride yesterday.

7:48 am

hokie carla

well, going to play tennis. we'll see how it is out there. TTFN. 19 left for later.

7:48 am

aslindy

thankfully not too bad in mid michigan right now

7:48 am

mael

my asthma has been acting up for weeks because of the pollen and the smoke yesterday just made everything worse

7:48 am

mael

be safe out there!

7:51 am

mael

phantoms: all variations of neutral

7:52 am

MollyL

The pollen has been atrocious this year. I feel sorry for people who are anal about keeping their cars clean.

7:53 am

aslindy

we need some rain to knock the pollen down. it's so dry here.

7:57 am

mael

same

7:57 am

mael

we got some rain over the weekend but it's clearly not enough

7:58 am

mael

I am getting so turned about with all the Ts today

7:59 am

aslindy

we had a little sprinkle. we still have extreme fire danger here.

8:03 am

aslindy

43 left. back later to finish

8:03 am

mael

bye lindy

8:17 am

mael

FW!

8:17 am

mael

anyone want any clues?

8:24 am

MollyL

I guess only parts of North Carolina are getting the smoke from the fires. My sister doesn't have any. And she is in the mountains.

8:25 am

Shirlockc

it's hazy in New York, and there is a breathing warning

8:42 am

MollyL

WARNING: Don't breathe. ðŸ˜Š

good morning :)

9:22 am

MollyL

Hi Nan. We've got your wildfire smoke down here.

9:25 am

cybernan

we don't have any here. I think it must be coming from Alberta. My best advice to all of you is to dig out your covid masks and wear them outdoors. Breathing in forest fire smoke for one hour is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes!

9:35 am

cybernan

first col. done - time for breakfast

9:42 am

Molly, thanks for the list.

MollyL

I just read that many schools are keeping kids inside. But poor mael's kid had to play baseball in this haze last night.

9:48 am

cybernan

if there is an air quality warning out why aren't kid's games being cancelled?

9:49 am

MollyL

Good question Nan

9:49 am

cybernan

She hould complain to whatever healt authority is present in her area

9:56 am

Sophie512

I'm sorry if this was discussed earlier, but I can't get today's Lickety, just yesterdays. I've refreshed the stew out of it!

9:57 am

MollyL

Lickety is having server problems. Broll's list is in my profile.

9:57 am

MollyL

Sophie, do you know how to view the whole days chat?

10:00 am

yes, Molly, just remembered I see it now glad to know it's not just me

4:31 pm

cybernan

been reading the chat trying to figure out the nu6 that is some kind of rat, but not a nutrat nor a muskrat, that is eaten or desired for it's fur in Louisiana and has some kind of connection to a group of renaissance artists who lived in Florence.

4:33 pm

montreal13

SO7/28 TO

4:33 pm

hokie carla

howdy y'all. so7/28. not a word I've seen.

4:33 pm

hokie carla

nu6 looks like something that makes food good for you, but it's a rodent.

4:34 pm

hokie carla

ending looks latin or something

4:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty luc

4:35 pm

cybernan

I have an nu 6/21 - is that the one, or are there 2 of them?

4:35 pm

hokie carla

there are 2

4:35 pm

hokie carla

the animal ends in 2 vowels

4:36 pm

cybernan

ok that is the one I have. Is there one that has to do with the florentine artists?

4:37 pm

hokie carla

I don't know what the other means exactly, but it rhymes with the teenage mu6 ninja turtles, who are all named after italian artists.

4:37 pm

hokie carla

the actual def is drooping in botany

4:38 pm

cybernan

ty -- don't know anything about the turtles other than the title (cartoon or cartoon movie isn't it)

4:39 pm

hokie carla

well, the nu6 rhymes with the mu6 in the title, so you know all you need to know

4:40 pm

montreal13

FW ! thanks to Broll and Molly for the list

4:41 pm

hokie carla

woot!

4:41 pm

cybernan

4:41 pm

Scrabbler

Congrats.

4:41 pm

4:47 pm

cybernan
