Today’s pop quiz for all you Mid-Atlantic folks:
The post "Hot, Dry and Glorious" is one I had planned to put up today and still holds true.
Anyway, like clockwork, the sky turns dark around two or three in the afternoon and then if we’re unlucky, the clouds blink and let forth their tears and Zeus, or whoever is up there, starts tossing around lightening bolts and bowling bowls.
I don’t mind the weather, except I’m told that lightening here can be pretty hazardous—open plains and all that—and I don’t like the prospect of hail damaging the paint job on my car, let alone the roof.
Someone recently told us that May 2009 was unusually rainy and therefore, the mosquitoes overstayed their annual June visit.
The cooler May and June temps thus far have kept them at bay, but I don’t know—with little rain storms here and there these past few weeks, I’m not looking forward to being outside in a few weeks.
We have been warned that the mosquitoes here are “more aggressive” than their east coast cousins.
What—are they are steroids or something?
Par for the course, the storm has since moved eastward and the western sky is now bright blue, with those white fluffy clouds I love so much and the sun is starting to shine, all in the time it has taken to pen (keyboard) this.
It ain’t over though, more storms predicted for tonight.
What do Arlington and Laramie have in common?Answer:
Not much—surprise, surprise—except for afternoon thundershowers.
