I hate to keep bitching on the weather, but lately it has
been an easy mark.
First it is the heat wave -- several days over 90, including
Field Day that comes in at a whopping 96 degrees. Then the heat part of the wave breaks but not
the humidity. We immediately fall into a
pattern of humid days followed by afternoons and evenings full of some of the
most spectacular thunder storms we have had in years. This latest pattern of "sun-clouds-boomers-repeat"
has been going on for three days with no break in sight, at least not until the
Fourth of July next week at the earliest.
It's annoying.
Today I try to sit outside and get some sun. The clouds and occasional passing showers make
it more of an elaborate game of Hide-'N-Seek than an afternoon of sunning. The few times the sun peeks out from behind
the clouds, it is hot as Hell. Most of
the time, the clouds invade, and, because I am on the east side of the thunder
boomers, it keeps getting chilly. I
change constantly between a bathing suit/shorts combo and sweatpants/shirt
combo. In 'em; out of 'em; in 'em; out
of 'em.
My friends from the Mid-Atlantic mention sudden downpours
and spectacular lightning today. I
advise them to stop sending us their leftovers and get on with some sunshine.
I really, truly hate to keep bitching on the weather, but
really. Enough is enough already.
