This is where I started my weight loss journey, and this is where I'm at today. Watching my carb intake and walking 4-5 miles a day.

I can't wait to see where this journey leads me.

@FloridaPA27 Case #1 in ownership argument for competitive balance. Baseball WILL NOT SURVIVE without a salary cap!

@FloridaPA27 When the CBA expires at the end of this season, this will be submitted as evidence by owners against the players union.

July was ... meh... for thunderstorms here in Panama City. I've seen much better. But considering I spent time in Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia, guess it wasn't so bad. 🤷

@FloridaPA27 Scattered sky condition??? More like broken to overcast.

Chasing Bolts tonight at the Panama City Marina. Had to be patient on this one. First storm came through, but didn't want to get camera in the rain. So I waited for the next cell, and it produced a few good bolts. Bonus...I stayed dry. 👍

Surf got a little rough in St Andrews Bay this afternoon. #TropicalStormBertha was 120 miles to our southwest, close enough for us to experience the outer bands.

Wind speed and direction the last 4 hours.

[Chasing⚡️Bolts WX @ChasingBolts]

Winds 20mph, gusting to 40mph. White caps on St Andrews Bay. #TropicalStormBertha is 120 miles SW of here and moving west. Spiraling bands of showers and thunderstorms here for most of the day. Definitely not a beach day. 🚩🚩

I'm 100 miles north of #TropicalStormBertha. Off and on showers all day today. Luckily, she's a little lop-sided with majority of the weather south of the center of circulation. Weather same on Tuesday, but with SE winds 15-25mph.

Saharan dust coming from Africa, across the Atlantic giving us some seriously hazy skies, but the trade-off is the absolutely stunning sunset colors.
