No stickiness yet, but Ariz. monsoon season is here via kwout

What?!? This is nonsense. The monsoon season starts when the humidity goes up. Looks like the NWS is dumbing down the definition. Why not call it “summer” ?? The weather folks have never been able to predict when the monsoon will start and when it will end. By redefining it as a simple date range they might get their predictions right.

Those of us who have lived in AZ for a while (31 years for me) KNOW this is BS.

One of my dogs, Annie, a Labrador Retriever mix, thinks summer started this weekend. When I brushed her, sheets and sheet of shed hair came off her. She is preparing her summer wardrobe.

Usingmac.com had a useful tip: How to resize multiple images using Preview. I tried it, it does work on Leopard. This seems like a great way to create a bunch of thumbnails. Be careful, though, when you save the resized images. It overwrites them. I copied the images I wanted to resize to a new folder, then resized them. Keeps my original images as is.

1. Open images to be resized in Preview
2. Select images you want to resize.
3. On the Preview menu Tools -> Adjust size.
4. File -> Save All  The images are overwritten.
