My special little tower...

Well, I was able to do a little driveway chasing yesterday as a tower was climbing just to my Northeast... I actually saw it from the interstate on the way home, and took pics along the way. It was so large and impressive. I couldn't help but shoot pics. It didn't do anything over me (of course, in fact, ironically, I watched it dissipate as it approached...), but it was spectacular while it lasted. Here are the pics. I think the coolest part of it all was that Mini-Dew was asking me a whole slew of questions regarding the clouds. I explained flanking lines to her and showed her how the towers were growing (maturing) and climbing. She was genuinely interested!!! That's my girl!!! While I was out there, I was inspired to try something that I have always thought about doing but never really did... I took a pic of the sun through my sunglasses. I actually saw it done on Jason's Flickr Site... very cool stuff out there, so basically, he was my umph for actually doing it. Whatdya think?

Funny thing from the guys....

THE TLH AIRPORT WAS THE BIG RAINFALL WINNER YESTERDAY WITH 2.15 INCHES OF RAIN.

As I was driving home yesterday, I was disturbed to see that those piles are still being burned down the road from me. Grr... Moranuses! Anyway, at least we have had... some rain, but I should point out that yesterday's little thundershower did not drop rain up in my part of the county, so actually it's been a little while since that area has seen rain... fortunately (unfortunately), they are planning to build on wetlands... so it shouldn't spread too easily, but I really don't think they should be building there. You can see how wet it is, and the rest of us are very dry. Shouldn't be building on that land... disaster waiting to happen, if you ask me.

I don't see much value in sharing the forecast with you... same old, same old. We'll see what fires off this afternoon.

I'd better get going.

Have a great day!!!
