Import/Export

Currently exporting this journal to Dreamwidth as a backup. I hope posting here right now doesn't screw up their importing process. The user name flying_blind was already taken there, so I'm using my LJ handle rejectomorph instead. I like to picture all my 16 years of trivial crap coming through the cables all the way from Moscow and being monitored by intelligence services in Russia and Britain and the U.S. along the way. I hope the agents stuck with the job of looking at it don't get too bored. Hi, Yuri. Hi, Neville. Hi, Tenisha. Have a nice day/night.

Over

There was more rain than expected today, but the sun came out a while ago, and though we didn't get a sun shower the warmth caused the water on the rooftops to vaporize and drift back toward the remaining clouds. The downspout was still trickling loudly for a while, too, and all the leaves were decked with drops of water glistening in the bright light. The vegetation's hoarded raindrops continued falling for quite a while, their drumming slowly diminished until now only an occasional drip is heard.

Now the remaining clouds are gleaming white wherever the sunlight hits them, but still dark and brooding on their shaded undersides. The amount of open sky is growing, and that is what will bring a very chilly night. I expect we'll be seeing some stars tonight, though they will be dimmed by the presence of a waxing gibbous moon which is very nearly full. I'll listen for frogs when I go out to see it. They undoubtedly enjoyed the rain. The feral cats will be glad it's over.
