A Taste of Summer I'd Say
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
NOWCAST - Monday and Tuesday sure gave us a taste of summer I'd say with highs Monday knocking on 80 degrees and into the low 70's Tuesday. A brisk north wind arose in the afternoon Tuesday ushering in some cooler air. Wednesday and the rest of the week will have those usual morning clouds with afternoon sunshine with highs between 65 and 70 degrees depending on how soon the clouds depart. Anyway you look at it, a nice span of dry days ahead. Enjoy!OUTCAST - Boy there sure is a spattering of weather across the nation. From quiet skies over the West Coast to severe thunderstorms, flooding and wildfires eastward. Imagine a tornado leveling almost an entire town. There is so much severe weather pounding the US soils lately that I don't think I will talk about it here.
Weather radios a mandate? Read here.
Exposed: Climate of Fear- If you missed Glenn Beck's show last week about the other side of Gore's film, you should see it. And of course there are those that are exposing his side of things as the left side will. Click here to go to his show on CNN.
To see the other side's point of view on his show go here.

OFF TOPIC - Hey, as a help to the environment and global warming I am slowly using more cold water for my morning showers. Trying some cold water therapy and am just beginning to see some of the benefits. Interesting item. I have a big pet peeve to blast off. I hate those lousy sticking Dodge Ram
diesel pickups. Not only do they stink, they are as loud as a big Frieghtliner truck and you can hear them coming three blocks away. They are noise polluters. And those that have dual wheels, they take up the entire road. Okay, now I have said it, sorry if I offended anyone here, but hey, it's my blog and I dislike them greatly!!!I have been busy building a deck, planting some flower tubs to place on the deck and a few other flowers out in the yard to add a splash of summer color. Next, I am placing a 5 by 10 foot raised box for a garden bed in the yard for a few home grown veggies.
Also have been busy gathering my storyline for my novel I am writing about the Columbus Day windstorm, a historical fiction book if you can imagine. I have a cast of six characters and I will be excited to get more chapters behind me. I also have another work in progress and ideas for a couple more books. Just not enough hours in the day but I am trying to get better organized and set a schedule. Boy, retirement isn't easy folks.
