good morning. We almost had rain. We saw the cloud, we saw the lightning, heard the thunder, saw the cloud open up dumping it's water, but it evaporated before it hit the ground. We got nothing.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

I think that's called virga, although around here we don't get the thunder and lightning to go with it. Earlier in the week we had mid 90's, but now it's barely getting to low 70's with a solid coastal cloud cover until noon or so.

Mornin. We've had a little rain the last few days, and I've loved it. Today we have a slight chance, but then it'll dry out again, and we're heading for the high 90's for the next week or so. :(

I had a Mexican dinner a few night back that would have allowed me to power that thing for at least a few hours.

I got elevator dusted the other day. Doors open, out walks a really pretty young lady, I enter the elevator, doors close, and I nearly die.... :shock: Who'd have thunk such a pretty little thing could pack such a wallop.

She's was probably recently married. You know they hold their farts in while they're dating and engaged, and up until they've landed a husband, then out comes 18 or 20 years of gas. Not all at once, of course. But it's no holds barred after they have a ring on their finger. It's a license to rip.

We've been married 38 years.... It's still comin'.

At my average commute speed, it would take me 16,000 years to catch up assuming it stopped right where it's at.

And I always thought it was the dog.. at least that's who she keeps blaming.

You ain't smelled nothing until you've been near a Catahoula passing gas after a whitefish dinner. :-(
