Woke up, put on clothes, didn't go to work.

We are having a wonderful thunderstorm. If the remnants of Ivan are this bad after it's been on land for days, I can now imagine how awful it was down south. Oddly, the first mention of it on this blog was August 27!

I think we've reached the midpoint of the worst here, because my barometer was down to 29.7 inches an hour ago and is starting to rise. The tropical depression is moving away, but it's still supposed to rain all day. We needed to cool off.

I just got an e-mail from a friend saying, "Best weather EVER." At last, people who understand me!
