Fog Bank, July 1, 2013

Hello everyone, this is David Phillips.  I'll have these links at my blog, skydaver.blogspot.com

First up, The Los Angeles Times had a story about the possible record heat in Death Valley, Sunday, June 30, 2013

My second pick is the Astronomy Picture of the Day with a time-lapse video created by Mike Olbinski, showing a supercell thunderstorm over Booker, TX, June 3, 2013

Third, I have a picture of my solution to the problem of birds fouling my CoCoRaHS gauge.  Bamboo cooking skewer cut into short lengths, and taped onto the funnel
