"It's a lovely day in the neighborhood..."


The Big Picture: The fog is lifting, it's raining lightly, and it's 51 F on the balcony, and there's no wind worth mentioning. It could be a whole bunch worse.



This guy in the driveway, center right, is carrying his golf clubs and obviously isn't worried about the weather. If we stayed home whenever it rained, we'd never get anything done. And if we don't like the weather here, we just wait for about 20 minutes for the next batch to arrive. We like it because it's easy to shovel. Much like political speeches....except this actually makes our grass grow greener. Keep your chin up, and keep paddling!

    How about sending some of that stuff to the east coast. At least the "no wind" part.

  2. Hi, Tom -

    I'm pleased to see you're out of the root cellar and back out in the fresh air again....

    I know what a really strong wind can be like, and it seems to have a never-ending quality to it, which gets quite scary after a while.

    I hope you and yours are all OK, and I hope the house is still OK too.

  3. Thanks Ray. Actually we came out of it just fine. We have some picking up to do, but no real damage. Of course I do have some shingles in my yard that aren't from my house.
    :-)
