rejectomorphThe wind we were supposed to get Thursday was a bust, at least in the mini-metropolis. I don't know what happened in other parts of the region, but here we barely got any stiff breezes. I'm not disappointed, and rather sadly I'm not surprised. Forecasting is growing less accurate, after many decades of pretty steady improvement, and spring was always tough to predict anyway. Yes, it's definitely spring now, though there's no telling how long it will last, because, well, spring. The forecast is predicting more rain next Monday and Tuesday, but we shall see. I won't hold my breath.
In the meantime we're supposed to get a couple of hottish days (highs nearing eighty) Sunday and Monday. Again, we shall see. This is not the time of year one should make bets on the weather. Today, for example, was not only not windy, it was rather balmy. I would have gone out and sat in the back yard, if I were still doing such things. Instead, I got tired and took a four hour nap, waking up not long before sunset. That wasn't a surprise either. It might happen again tomorrow. Or not. Either way will be equally dull. And dull or not, it's what I'll write about. Life has gotten so unsurprising.
