Dear football,

Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.

Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.

When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

@oldscarf1stweek The easiest way to avoid chaser traffic jams and reckless driving is to not chase.

@CameronJNixon This might qualify. From a mid-morning storm in 2021

@CameronJNixon I’m going to cheat using eastern Colorado pictures from 2019 but they were a blue core!

@oldscarf1stweek Even nearly 7 years after the fact, I think Prospect Valley, CO still wins for me.

This footage from inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa might be the most jaw-dropping video ever captured of a hurricane’s eye, showcasing the infamous “stadium effect."

Was hoping we could use this…

[Hurricane Hunters @53rdWRS]

Last night, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin—and captured imagery of the breathtaking stadium effect.

These missions provide critical data to the NHC to improve forecasts, helping keep communities safe before the storm makes landfall.#readynow #weatherready

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

Now it's official, we remember 9 years of fun, great players, European adventures and some I've the best football I ever seen in my life.

To end, here is this wonderful tribute to Gasperini from @Sarms07

Grazie Gasp 🙏💙🖤

@PaxBiggs This is how I felt after flying out for my chasecation last week. Even after seeing tornadoes on Thursday and Friday, I was already exhausted and didn’t have any spark to keep going. The bust on Sunday and not liking yesterday at all made it easy to just grab a flight home

[Justin Yerina @jycfc]

@Tornado_Steejo @JordanHallWX @Tornado_Warned Ok, that makes sense then. We considered going up that road but we wouldn’t have been able to deploy with the storm motion. We were just to the SE of you right at the point there before the road curves back to the ESE.

[Justin Yerina @jycfc]

@oldscarf1stweek @369Hurricane The deterministic Euro and ensembles have been very consistent painting a nice stretch of days from the 24th through the 2nd.

This is also my chasecation, so I am totally not biased in my thoughts.

@webberweather This was not one of the areas I studied much while getting my bachelor’s degree. What is the typical impact on severe weather prospects with these waves?

Long time followers here know that I don’t do politics, and there’s no political content on this account. I vote; and that’s it. The world does not need another social media nitwit telling people how to think and vote. 

This post is not about politics, but about support for my friends that work for the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, a federal agency.

NWS meteorologists work long, hard hours serving the people of this country, not only during times of severe weather, but on the routine days as well.

Their surface and upper air observation networks along with computer models, radars, and satellites are critical for all meteorologists, including those of us in the private sector. 

Most NWS field offices are currently understaffed right now. I can only imagine morale is not especially high. 

Many high-level politicians follow this page, both Democrats and Republicans. I would encourage them and all of you to support my colleagues at the National Weather Service during this time. Their service is absolutely invaluable. 

If NWS products and services are reduced, we all suffer…especially during times of life-threatening weather.
