Making up for my crummy #doorsday post with another one from that same day and location. Meet Grace, a beautifully restored church turned restaurant turned event hall in Portland, Maine, USA. Taken in May of 2019, approximately 10 years post-restoration during the re-imagining phase into the event hall, heading in for a photoshoot set that I was so honored to be the makeup artist and shoot assistant on! One of the many cool experiences I was blessed with while doing the creative work I once so loved!

I have an offspring who graduated with the May 2024 class (but was actually done in Dec 2023) who needs a #JobOpportunity

He has a #CS degree *and* #Linguistics from a well-known #NorthEast school. He had a great co-op at a prestigious research institution. He worked as a TA to the #software students and was prominent in the linguistics lab, contributing to a paper he helped present at a national conference

He doesn't know I'm posting this, but I believe he's looking for a software #engineering position, remote or in the #NorthEast #US. If there is related linguistics work so much the better.

#Trump note:

that square in east central New York is roughly the area around #SaratogaSprings #NY

"While the Western US is associated with aridity, it is remarkable to see this extent of #drought spread across the #Northeast. And current forecasts show that the conditions will persist for weeks or even months."

“Places like New Jersey, the Ohio River Valley, much of the plains have 12 to 15 inches below normal precipitation for this time of the year,” Fuchs said. “New York has a deficit of 10 inches. That’s very extreme for this part of the country.”

"New York City has been shrouded in hazy skies and a strong smoke smell as dangerous wildfires continue to cause bad air quality across the Tri-State region amid a historic drought.

"On Saturday, an acrid, smoky odor spread throughout the city, lasting well into the evening after fires broke out on Friday in #Brooklyn, the #Bronx and nearby #NewJersey, areas that are not typically prone to wildfires but are experiencing a significant drought."

"#NewYorkCity officials issued an air quality alert Saturday morning amid several #brushfires burning in the U.S. northeast, including one in #Brooklyn's largest park the previous night.

The city's Office of Emergency Management said the Air Quality Index (#AQI) is forecast to reach 101-150 on Saturday. Under those conditions, the air is not safe for people with sensitive breathing issues and the elderly, according to the federal government's #AirNow resource."

ABC News · Dangerous air quality hits New York as brush fires erupt in NortheastBy Ivan Pereira

After a dry past few weeks, abnormal dryness and drought continue to spread across the Northeast, now covering 93.65% of the region. Extreme drought conditions emerged in southern New Jersey this week.

The dryness and drought have contributed to wildfires in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. On Wednesday, a wildfire in New Jersey prompted evacuations.

U.S. #Drought Monitor map: "more than 77 percent of the nation is considered abnormally dry.

Earlier this week, dry weather prompted National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists to issue special weather statements across the #Midwest and #Northeast regarding favorable #wildfire conditions. The dry weather also has contributed to falling water levels at multiple lakes and reservoirs, spurring several cities to issue a call for citizens to reduce their water use."

Newsweek · Drought prompts nationwide low water level warningsDrought has contributed to falling water levels across the nation, with many cities expecting more dry weather in the coming week.

The tristate area around New York City experienced deadly overnight flash flooding after historic heavy rain drenched the Northeast in the United States. Southern Connecticut saw 10 inches of rain over a 12 hour period, while Long Island was pummeled with seven inches over three hours. The rain is expected to continue north, where Vermont and New Hampshire are bracing for a deluge. NBC News has more.

Riverplace Minneapolis Little Europe

This area is called Riverplace and is a quaint almost European spot just east of the heart of Minneapolis. The turn of the century bridge and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church gives you a feeling that you are in some quaint little European town.
