weather update

It's hot. It's very hot. It's very hot and sunny, with rising humidity, and there is no breeze.

It is, IOW, my idea of Hell.


I'm not a big advocate of air conditioners, but today I'm thankful for them, yes.
Although will be less so when the inevitable brownouts hit...

breaking news...

from CNN:

"Senate votes 63-37 to loosen President Bush's ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, a move Bush has pledged to veto."

Go, Senate!

STORM!

And lo, the thunder did crack and the lightning did flash, and the rain and winds did come, and we did gather on the porch to sing haleluja...

Okay, we didn't sing. But there was a lot of "oh thank god" being said.


It's still far too warm for comfort. But the rain is cold and the breeze is brisk, and there's cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning making my nerve endings snap and tingle, and all's right with this corner of the world...
