Fluff

Morning light reveals puffs of cloud which have gathered in the east. They might dissipate with full dawn, but I hope they linger through the day. I'd like to wake to a sky of blue and white for a change. A sky full of rain clouds would be better, especially if there were a few lighting bolts and one of those furious, windblown downpours, but I know that event to be unlikely. Now that I think of it, I haven't even heard the usual summer thunder rolling through the mountains this year. I strongly disapprove of the monotonous weather we are enduring. Weather is almost the only interesting thing that ever happens here! I need some variety! I suppose I could attempt to summon rain through the sacrifice of a goat to Thor or Tlaloc (although I think Tlaloc prefers human hearts.) But that wouldn't be something to delight the neighbors. I might come to be thought of as a bit odd if I began performing pagan rituals. I guess I'll stick to running the lawn sprinkler when I feel like listening to rain. Autumn will arrive with its rejuvenating precipitation eventually, with no dead goat required. I only hope that I haven't turned to a dried husk by then.

We get rain every few hours lately, hard, or whenever I stick my nose out, whichever comes first. Then bright sun, then more hard, brief rain. Yet every day my mother wishes for rain, says we need it, it never rains. Bad sign? She also is incensed that the morning tv people fail to say the day and date each morning.
I need to find her a HUGE calendar that she might be able to see.

Summer rain is rare in most of California, but (or therefore) I always welcome it. Still, I don't think I'd like living in a place where rain was commonplace throughout the year. It would too soon lose its appeal.

For a couple of years after I got Sluggo, I would still scurry to fetch the daily newspaper in order to find out the date. Then I finally discovered that the day and date were available simply by hovering the cursor over the clock at the lower right corner of my monitor. It was a perfect Homer Simpson moment. D'OH!
