It Was A Colourful And Fiery Sunset At Warner Valley, Utah. Love The Desert Sunsets!

I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

Maps about Coffee Locations Besides maps, one of my favorite topics to study on this website is coffee! Here’s a simple map I made by overlaying locations of coffee shops onto a map of the UW campus, and drawing some simple circles. Source: http://ift.tt/19zaaRJ

Bo Horvat, incoming.

this is from a real diary by a 13-year-old girl in 1870. teenage girls are awesome and they’ve always been that way.

three separate off duty commercial aviators photographed cumulonimbus clouds illuminated by flashes of lightning from their planes.

otherwise known as thunderclouds, cumulonimbus are the only cloud type that can produce hail, thunder and lighting. the base of the cloud is often flat with a very dark wall like feature hanging underneath, and may only lie a few hundred feet above the earth’s surface.   

cumulonimbus clouds are created through convection, often growing from small cumulus clouds over a hot surface.they get increasingly big until they represent huge powerhouses, storing the same amount of energy as ten hiroshima sized atom bombs. 

although the storm looks formidable, today’s airliners have advanced equipment to circle around storms this big without entering any dangerous zones.
