"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."

There will, sad to say, be more and more consequences to the path we — many of us — have chosen for our nation, serious, lethal consequences.

"The voters of Texas decided that they wanted Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to be in charge of the government services they received. That is exactly what they are getting. And as of this writing on Saturday morning, Trump still hasn’t said a word about the storm and the little girls who were killed at the camp."

The allotment is looking good considering how hot and dry it has been; broad beans (Bartek) and the tall-growing peas (Alderman) are taking off nicely. (See alt text). The ridged ground is where the second early potatoes are planted but they are not through yet. They are Wilja, Nadine and Acoustic.
The onions and garlic are also on schedule (out of shot).
Heartfelt thanks to my wife, who is doing all the hard work this year due to my poor health.

For a while now I've been using #Forecastie to display open weather data from;

It was, at the time, the best weather app I could find on F-Droid. But while I was Fossify-ing my Simple apps, I decided to see what's available now. I'm quite impressed with Breezy Weather (forked from Geometric Weather);

https://f-droid.org/packages/org.breezyweather/

It seems to be able to use a range of open data sources, but the default appears to be;
