Hallucinations By Generative AI
Alice (of Alice and Wonderland fame) might have called it "curiouser and curiouser". Google, whose search engine accounts for more than 90% of the global market, has just rolled out an experimental search feature called "AI Overviews" that can supposedly take the "legwork" out of searching various t...

Re: Solar Storm Tonight
Really, anywhere with an unobstructed view to the north and as little ambient light as possible should work. I always thought the top of Buttermilk Butte would be a great place to watch the skies at night but have never taken advantage of that and wouldn't even know if the road was passable. If this...

Solar Storm Tonight
This could be visually interesting if nothing else. Beginning tonight (5/10), our planetary home could be effected by a fairly large geomagnetic storm—rated G4 on a scale of 5—as charged particles from the sun’s corona are flung out into space. This is advertised as the biggest solar storm to hit th...

Statewide Drought Declared
Unfortunately, as of today (4/16), the Department of Ecology has declared a drought emergency for most of Washington. As chances for significant additions to the state's snowpack diminish, there is simply not enough water contained in mountain snow and reservoirs to prevent serious impacts for water...

New Long-Range NOAA Forecast
Just out today (3/21) a new long-range forecast from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is predicting nearly all U.S. states are leaning toward warmer-than-average weather this spring.

Re: Power outage
Just talked to P.U.D. There is a pole down in the vicinity and "they are aware and working on the fix." Power expected to be restored in about an hour (10:00 PM). Hope that helps.
