THIS 'N THAT AUGUST 2023 PART 1

Tweet

For 46 sweltering days this summer, South Florida sizzled under heat index temperatures that topped 100 degrees every afternoon. That shattered the previous record, set in 2020, of 32 days in a row above 100 degrees. This past week we hit 114 and it is continuing--worse the water temps are in 90s so you aren't going to 'cool off' going for a swim. I love getting new calendars, Jewish or otherwise, as ALL have THURSDAY FEBRUARY 29 2024!! Did you know that Gay Uncles Day, also known as Guncles Day, is celebrated on the second Sunday in August? It was first celebrated in the US on a wide scale Sunday August 14, 2016. I never heard of it before--check out the story: Last, but not least, a little controversy: I went to see "Oppenheimer" a 3-hour & 9 second movie. Without saying much I think it will get many Oscar nominations including for Cillian Murphy in the title role, has a lot of 'names' in various roles, would have been a great film at 1 hour & 45 minutes, has great background scoring and the last 45-60 minutes is compelling! PS I had 2 additional pictures in the collage but had to cut them to get these in!
