(It was a day of thunderstorms everywhere in California due to remnants of a tropical storm, infamous for 1000+ lightning fires.) The direction of the photo to the west was toward SJC 30R/L arrivals. The big planes had weather radar in the nose well before 2008. So even though I didn&#39;t know status of SJC arrivals, I&#39;m sure they briefly went into holding patterns or diversions. 2026-03-30T22:40:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxp0f8jpakyq80ncfu3pm4tggs72ulvhl8lgvckca5q5jqxyhnpngzyrnfr72mha6yutxvjdaa9yugmv2m4jlncvk76q97996jdqujuytmgaedz9f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0yvca3ppc24juflq6d5ksmh2adunhq5zgjecsd94va3nm5vkd6yg9cv4pw'>nevent1q…v4pw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I lived in the Berryessa district (which nobody even in San Jose had heard of until we got a BART station). But I was in your area for the June 21, 2008 storms which dropped some funnel clouds. I was at RHV Airport when the storms got my attention. Photographed a funnel cloud. I redeemed myself as a stormspotter: the funnel dissipated while I was on the phone with the City of San Jose&#39;s Ham Radio emergency communications director.

OK. Didn&#39;t expect that. The purpose of monospaced fonts is when columns of text need to line up, like in a text editor, or for symbolically displaying source code and program output because of their association with text editors.<br/><br/>When I&#39;m coding, my text editor uses monospaced fonts.

The &#34;crossbars&#34; are called serifs. &#34;Sans&#34; is French for &#34;without&#34;. Though sans-serif fonts are intended for use in headlines, they&#39;re usually the default text font on web browsers from an ancient-digital era 20+ years ago when screen resolution didn&#39;t resolve serifs well. So the best suggestion is to configure your system and/or browser to display text in a serif font, and adjust Mastodon preferences to &#34;use system font&#34;. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif</a> 2026-02-23T02:01:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst4a3fa356cdc35492a0al7l5mffuxwqsnr6cwtcfy9hdeysewnmgzyrnfr72mha6yutxvjdaa9yugmv2m4jlncvk76q97996jdqujuytmg4na536 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9r84jf092u93tk8js9t48ksms6v5ug7z03w6ymy6rypywl834wjqzk05uf'>nevent1q…05uf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Crosslake Connection simulated service begins Feb 14&#34; by #Seattle Sound Transit - Sounds like 6-week operational nightmare: Link Light Rail &#34;2 Line&#34; trains will run the full route from Redmond to Lynnwood, kicking everyone off westbound trains at South Bellevue and eastbound trains at Int&#39;l District because the segment between is only in testing.

I couldn&#39;t quite recognize the markings. But it wasn&#39;t a NASA logo so it wasn&#39;t SOFIA. So it just about had to be the Fry&#39;s bird N747FU, also based in California. After landing I looked it up and confirmed it was the Fry&#39;s bird.
