@NCSCO @NWSGSP @NCWildlife Awesome! Thank you for the info!

[Michael Rector 🇺🇸🦅 @mikerector]

@NCSCO @NWSGSP @NCWildlife Thank you very much for the reply and pics. What type sensors are these, capacitance, resistive or tdr/tdt? Just curious, I'm a long time electronics geek that really loves environmental monitoring and data collecting. Ive built alot of different weather stations, still revising.

[Michael Rector 🇺🇸🦅 @mikerector]

@NCSCO @NWSGSP @NCWildlife Yes it is! I'd love to build a station like that! What depth do you measure soil Temperature and moisture?

[US Department of the Interior @Interior]

My father cried.
I had never seen it. Not once in my life.

70 years old. Post-war generation. He hated America with everything he had.

60 years. Not one kind word. Not one.

Then March 2011 came.
He sat in front of the TV. Every day. Silent. Fists on his knees.

Your Marines digging black mud with their bare hands for Japanese strangers.

Your 19-year-old sailors sleeping on cold steel floors so our grandmothers could have beds.

Your carrier sailing INTO the radiation while the whole world ran out.

He watched all of it. And said nothing.

Then one night I passed his room and I froze.

Behind that door, my father, the strongest and most stubborn man I ever knew, was sobbing like a child.

I couldn't move. I just stood there in the dark hallway, listening, crying with him.

Then he said it. One sentence. It tore 60 years apart:

"I was wrong about them."

Do you understand what that took?

A lifetime of hatred. Gone.
Destroyed by soldiers carrying soup to strangers.

America, you didn't just save our towns.

You reached inside my father's chest and healed a wound he swore would never close.

He passed away believing in you.

Happy 250th. 🇺🇸🇯🇵
An old man who hated you died loving you. My father.

The disciples watched Jesus do many things.

They never once asked Him to teach them to preach, or heal, or perform miracles.

They asked Him one thing: "Lord, teach us to pray." (Luke 11:1)

His answer was about 60 words long.

And nearly every single line means far more than most people who recite it realize.

Line by line. 🧵
