So tonight, a storm worthy of a tornado warning and multiple calls from concerned family and friends decided to randomly pass through where I live. What the heck, I mean, it was a bit overcast all day...to death or injured by lightning isn't on my top list of goals in life. @_@ On the way home I saw lightning strike land twice more. D: It was so freaking scary. ;~; I am so glad I'm home. : /
I was honest this weekend. So many times I hold back what I'm feeling in order to protect other people from it, in order to protect myself. I sat on a rock on Forest Walk, one of my favorite places...my being, thus my avoidance of it thus the "L Bomb" theory but the fibers of my being can multitask. I love with them all but I remain careful ::sighs:: what if I'm getting tired of being so careful?
Wow, was that ever a wimpy typhoon. It rained heavily for a brief period around noon. That, and intermittent showers, is about all we got. It wasn’t ever really windy, and in the evening the sun was even...contemporaries and/or descendants who actually witness the burial… =) Somehow I don’t think being buried in a shroud covered with strange writing from a strange land would go over very well with the living
Well I was voted off the island shortly after getting power restored this morning! Please pre-order your copy of my tell-all book, a behind-the-scenes look about what really goes on in those tribal meetings. I'm back online now, so I guess I'll not mail those unibomber-style letters I had written to our electric utility.
The remnants of Typhoon Sinlaku are currently drenching Kyushu and are headed for Shikoku. Over the next twenty-four hours, we’re expected to get up to 350mm of rain – that’s 35 centimetres or almost fourteen...have run away screaming long ago, but then I would be failing my colleagues, as they’d be forced to cover my classes during the long wait for a new foreign teacher. We must all suffer together. =
Well, Sunday the remnants of Ike came up the Mississippi and got strengthened by a cold front from the Midwest.... long story short we had a freakish day (all day!) of high winds, some registering at 71mph...the flood damage Ike wrought down South, but we've told it could take a week or two to restore power to everyone. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080916/NEWS01/809160443
...Jojo and I are fine. We hardly lost power (several flickers, I thought for sure we would, but we did not). The local communities, however, did not fare as well. Power outages in nearby counties have...could see where I'd pushed for about 30 seconds longer than usual...crazy). I'm sure things will warm up in the next few weeks as the weather cools and they finally feel they can turn off the AC...
Hey, people! :) A quote from Mr. Haynes' "Top of the Morning" Greetings: "It's Monday. Bah Humbug Day." And he's right. I hate Mondays, man. Seriously. And today was just probably one of the...I should, though. I'm such a Teru whore. Sorry for such a long post, folks. If I'm too boring for you, let me know, and I'll spice it up with some real spices. Umm .. is paprika a spice? (>_
Well the hurricane came we lost power about 9:15 on Friday night. It was not as bad as the hurricane that hit Alvin in 1983 (now I am sounding like one of those ole people...wellllll back in '04.....lira is not in a good mood today as she had to take care of her own kids this weekend and has no power....that alone would make me want to grill the lot of them.... Coming to you from Texas.
