Lets Blog!

Welcome once again friends to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and                                         how about talking about blogging this week since it's something                                we all do anyway.   

Get yourself a cuppa, come sit down at your computer and let's think about                                              blogging for a bit....

Blog is short for Weblog, a log or diary on the World Wide Web or internet.                                       Your journal or diary can hold personal stories, ideas, opinions of all kinds                                            and can be private or public as you wish.                                                                                                     It is an excellent way to document your life or interests.

1. Why did you begin blogging?  

 To share my life adventures publicly, enjoyed the blog hops and all of the challenges, and the cute little blog awards, See my page for the awards link,  I have done the A to Z challenge several times

2. What benefits does blogging offer you?

lets me tell you my story, share my photos,  visit other blogs

3. Have you made friends from blogging?

Yes several friends I have made at 1 time I had over 200 followers sadly since other social media have taken over not as many now.

4. Where do you get ideas for things you blog about? Do other bloggers influence you?

I use my photos,  life situations,  particular things I like, recipes etc.   other than what I use on blog hops my blogs are all original.  What inspires me is when I get readers, followers, and comments

Tuesday 91625

Happy Tuesday all!   I am almost all done with my dental work, hopefully this Thursday will be the last one for 3 months.   

Our little school *Inola High School, OK* won the nationwide T-Mobile  competition to get a new  $2 million upgraded football field and the weight lifting room.

People in town decorate hay bales to what they like, in honor of Inola Hay Day since Inola, OK is the hay capital of the world pretty cool huh?

This one won 1st place.

This is my best friend since 1982,  we stay in touch, and again only live 3 miles apart.  This picture was taken at Hay Day last Friday after the foot ball game.

I promise I am back and will quit taking breaks.   thank you all for the patience with me

The Friday before I had to have a molar, very back one on the bottom right pulled as it was way

loose. :(   I have genetic on both sides of having bad gums) saw the dentist today, however my bad 

gums, aren't (thankfully) as bad as we had initially thought, no cavities, but 4 cracked teeth *dentist said they most likely will be fine till later date, I have 1 very bad broken tooth, which will be crowned.

Next week *Monday* I will be getting a scaling done, deep root cleaning, they can only do 1/2 at a time because they have to numb you to do it.  I am thankful for my teeth not being worse

Stormy Monday

 

Today's Verse for Monday, August 11

Psalms 119:28

28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me                    according to your word.

We got some much needed rain and a nice break in                          the heat.  I have been so busy with other things I                           totally forgot to show some achievements.

I am officially a certified storm spotter, I have always

enjoyed the weather, I decided it was time to do                            what I have always loved.  The difference                                               between the storm spotter and storm chaser: 

next step is to be AWS certified

A storm spotter and a storm chaser both                                              observe severe weather, but their roles                                             and motivations differ significantly.                                              Storm spotters are trained volunteers                                             who report on storms in their                                                        local area to the National Weather Service (NWS),                             while storm  chasers actively pursue storms to                                observe, document, and sometimes study                                     them, often traveling long distances. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Storm Spotters:

• Role:

Primarily focus on providing real-time reports                                   on storm conditions, such as hail size, wind                                 speed, and tornado sightings, to the                                        National Weather Service. 

• Motivation:

Driven by a desire to help their communities                                        by providing critical information for                                            issuing timely warnings. 

• Location:

Typically stay within their local area or county,                              often near their homes. 

• Training:

Often volunteers with organizations like                               SKYWARN, receiving training from the                                       National Weather Service. 

• Equipment:

May use radios for communication,                                                   but their primary tools are their eyes and                           observational skills. 

Storm Chasers:

• Role:

Actively track and follow storms, often                                             traveling long distances to get close                                                  to severe weather phenomena like tornadoes. 

• Motivation:

Driven by personal interest in severe weather,                          scientific research, or media documentation. 

• Location:

May travel hundreds of miles to intercept storms,                        often covering large areas. 

• Training:

May have formal meteorological training or                                      be self-taught, but often have extensive                                knowledge of storm dynamics and forecasting. 

• Equipment:

May use sophisticated equipment, including                             weather stations, radar,                                                                   and communication systems. 

Key Differences:

• Primary focus: Spotters report,                                           chasers track and observe. 
• Geographic scope: Spotters focus                                              on local areas,                                                                       
  chasers may travel long distances. 
• Motivation: Spotters are community-focused,                    chasers may be driven by personal or                                       scientific interests. 
• Training and Expertise: Both may be trained,                            but chasers tend to have more specialized                     knowledge and equipment.
