@Rainmaker1973 I've had a few hundred draws over the last few years. I have a favorite vein. I always ask the phlebotomist if they want to know -- they do. This would allow things to be spread out. But, how much per? Is this real?

@robert_savitsky These suits look very uncomfortable especially the gear above the head which is weightless but still has mass.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

@rustywx Good looking, useful maps.

@The_ChrisBryant @SethMacFarlane Believe it or not I saw the Cool Whip episode for the first time tonight. I've seen the bit forever. Tom Tucker w/the 11p heads was priceless, unexpected and perfect.

@SethMacFarlane Hi - I was the meteorologist on Channel 8 while you were wondering if you'd see snow/school tomorrow. Can I be a voice on Family Guy, please? It's my grown-up fantasy.

@WeatherAubs Nebraska had huge areas over 10k ft.

@NirajC Enjoyed your story today as you walked folks through what these FAA pronouncements mean.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

@WeatherProf Very well done.

Coming up tonight at 19:19 BST / 20:19 CEST: the September Equinox!

This image from @eumetsat’s Meteosat-12 satellite, captured this morning, shows Earth on the equinox — when the terminator line runs from pole to pole, dividing the planet into equal halves of light and dark. From space, it appears as a strikingly vertical line.

@ElayneBoosler I don't care what Charlie Kirk said. Though I disagree with him greatly I support(ed) his right to free speech.

The correct answer to speech is never violence.

@skooch8 Making the best of a bad situation. My dad died on a Monday. He was flirting with the nurses Saturday. Hospice works.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

I’ve been a little quiet lately and it’s time to tell you more.

For those counting, I’m 2-0 against cancer, but all the treatment I’ve gotten since pancreatic cancer in 2016 has been cumulatively taxing. I am frail and weak, near 5’ 9” and only 130 pounds.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

I feel fine.

As has been the case in the past I’ll tell you all about what’s going on when there’s something to tell. At the moment I’m weak and waiting.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

If I do nothing the cancer(s) will kill me. That’s a painful way to go. With hospice I’m given the opportunity to stay just drugged enough to avoid the worst. And a guarantee I can die at home.

So, I’ve chosen how to die – out of pain. At the moment nothing is necessary.

[Geoff Fox @geofffox]

@JBFlint It all still feels like pre-season.
