lnxw48a1: post-tropical cyclone #Zeta continues to move rapidly. The center of the storm is over Delaware, about to cross into the ocean (most of the storm is already at sea).

lnxw48a1: I’m positive I couldn’t see THIS prison from the highway, but I did see an old prison near the #LA - #MS border. From “the time when they knew how to punish people”. I’ve never beed incarcerated, but my impression is that modern US prisons are still horrible, but much less so than they used to be.

lnxw48a1: Hmm. I've noticed that no one ever seems to have a positive impression of #IA. I've worked for months at a time in some neighboring states ( #NE, #MO, #KS ) and never had a similar impression about them. What's especially bad about Iowa? (I've also worked in #MS and #LA, so I might just have a rosier view.)

lnxw48a1: The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 116F sometime around the early 2000s. But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there. #CA #heatwave

lnxw48a1: I got a chuckle out of seeing people asking where Belarus is. I attended California public schools. At that time, CA schools were 47th out of the 50 states. As a result, in times like this, I expect everyone who did not live in Mississippi to have received a better education than I did.
