My 97-year-old father who has been in hospice the last two years passed away peacefully the night before last. He was a member of the "Greatest Generation", having served on the USS Bunker Hill in the Pacific during WW ll. I got to spend time with him just two weeks ago.

@RepRaskin Dear Rep. Raskin, I recovered from a similar blood cell cancer, multiple myeloma. The new treatments that exist are making these cancers manageable. I saw a previous reply from a woman who says her father recovered from the same as you have and he is now 97. We are lucky.

What you are seeing on the radar are purple martins leaving their roost in a circle as they go out to look for food during the day. Once again, they have made a roost in downtown Nashville and will be there until late August before they migrate to Central America for the winter.

For those who like to follow the European & GFS models, you have seen them both flip from 5-6โ€ in Nashville to 0.5โ€ and back again. You can see why we donโ€™t put our SPECIFIC accumulation forecasts out until roughly 48 hours before. Weโ€™ll be taking a stab at it over the weekend!
