17 July 2006

Mother Nature is cool. [More:]

So I had returned from my nightly walk and was standing at the front of my yard. Last I checked it was 34 degrees Celsius and 65 % humidity. The air was dead calm. About a 500 metres north there was a flash of light and a blast of thunder that shook the ground and set off car alarms. I could hear the rain moving south from the Detroit river toward me and I began covering the 100 or so feet to the covered porch behind my garage. Before I got there the rain hit and the wind was strong enough to knock over the taller potted plants.

Nature always reminds us she is in charge.

So I came in and poured a scotch and toasted Paul Mazursky and John Cassavetes.

Yeah that just happened to us, too. We were sitting around talking about how it was still hot even though it was nighttime, and then the wind picked up and started blowing our recycling on our porch all around. We went out to rescue it, noticed the nice cool wind, and watched the lightning. It was awesome.

Hey sass, you're in Toronto, is that right? How's the weather generally looking next week?

chew: Just in case SassHat doesn't see this, I'm in TO and use this site. It only does a 5 day forecast but there is a seasonal forecast button which says, in short, it's going to suck it for the next 30 days.
