It's pretty bad when you experience a morning where everything just falls into place, the timing is perfect and the memory works as intended, only to begin wondering what's going on and start dreading the fall. The fall you're sure is about to come. Is that paranoia? There is ALWAYS something that doesn't go as planned, there is ALWAYS the feeling of being pressed for time and there is ALWAYS something forgotten. Here I am having a great morning with none of the usual pitfalls, and suddenly I'm looking over my shoulder for the sucker punch I KNOW is coming! WHAT"S UP WITH THAT!? I'm probably forgetting something and have forgotten that I've forgotten.
Weather. Wonder what Mama Nature is serving for breakfast this morning.
Phone, you ready to go to work?
15° of fair skies, 53% humidity and 8 mph West winds with 18 mph gusts. Sounds brrr. An expected high of 27°, along with increasing cloudiness and winds threatening a chill factor of -1°, is promising to make for a chilly day. Ooo, and possible snow tonight after 7 pm. No significant snowfall accumulation is anticipated.
Well, that's quite the gourmet meal, is it not!?
Camera, you're up... did you know that the reason you can't find any decent point and shoot cameras anymore is because of the high quality camera in most cell phones? Well, doesn't THAT suck. I don't wanna use my phone as a camera since I don't particularly wish to expose an expensive piece of electronics, such as a phone, to things like, oh I don't know, RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, HIGH WINDS with blowing debris, TEMPERATURE EXTREMES and the guaranteed DROPPING of said expensive and very difficult to replace electronics, from cold or slippery hands!!!!!!
!!HUMPHF!!
Where was I?
Ah, yes. The weather. C'mon Camera. Let's go outside and play!
...
It took two arduous trips to the great beyond that is known as The Front Porch, for Camera to capture the beautiful predawn blue that we love so much.
Have a GREAT GRAND and GLORIOUS day, Travelers.
Hang in there. Life, as painful as it can get, is oh so worth living, if you just hang in there. As Roosevelt is credited with saying,
"when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on"
