Who is the coolest poster on S2?

Fiber doesn't melt. Plastic does. The backboard melted from the extreme heat, but the fire couldn't climb the poll to reach the net.

Link?

Where I come from in California, if the net isn't made of steel, it was stolen years ago.

Here in Bellingham near the Canadian border, the sky was dim and orange all day Saturday. Probably not as much as you dim lights, but it's weird even here.

How the hell did the net not burn up when the backboard melted?

It has a chain net. Guess we know who didn't play ball on the outside courts.

At least you remembered what forum you were posting on and got your Blazer jacket on for the picture.

"The fires are a HOAX.
And even if they're not, they only kill a small percentage of the population. And you can't even trust those numbers - if someone dies of a heart attack while their house is burning down, that death is still counted as a fire death! And even if the deaths are higher, my family is fine - we don't live in or near a forest.
So WHY is it ok to take MY rights, my right to bar-b-que, my right to light fireworks at a gender reveal, my right to ride my quad in the woods? IT'S OPPRESSION. IT'S UNAMERICAN.
I've done my research and you won't change my mind. WAKE UP SHEEPLE."​

The saddest part of this is i just told my wife this something Trump said at his rally and she believed it.

Yes i told her it was satire....

I was wondering that. Its hard to tell.

That's my preferred method of arriving at conclusions.

Yeah it's hard to tell for sure. I obviously might be wrong. The Fiber might just be scorched and or melted.

Spoken like a true engineer.........

Don't know if this helps but this is a tweet that the photographer himself retweeted.

I didn’t know Lillard was shooting hoops down there.

If he shaved, he may have a fighting chance. At least he's well sponsored.

Yes, chain net is the term I couldn't remember. It tells you the hoop was in a public school/park, not a private residence.

Today the pink is gone. The sky is one unified white nebulous cloud. No breaks. A little brighter than usual. I'll mow the lawn now, as I did yesterday, Saturday.

I hope you noticed the link, @HCP. I don't know how to make @HCP into a link itself, but I tried.

I went outside and the air isn't pink like yesterday, but still translucent, smokey at high altitude.

If you like smoked nuts this is a great time to harvest walnuts.

 

[calvin natt]

I’m liking this just cuz Brandon Walsh

You think we're squares in Bellingham? Ask HCP. He says I'm the coolest guy on the board.

Besides, I have a giant Costco bag I'm working through.

If Trump cared about places like Pleasure, California, he'd provide them with Millions of rakes. Those are more important than homes and infrastructure.

Wilsonville, Lake Oswego, West Linn and Gladstone have all been lowered from Level 1 (be ready) to normal. Oregon City and Canby have been lowered from level 2 (be set) to level 1.
