Has it really been that long? Yes it has. My mate and I celebrate 30 years together as of this weekend. Not that we're doing anything big. We plan to join some friends who are celebrating their 50th anniversary and go to dinner at an Indian restaurant. We also went out to a relatively new Polish buffet style place tonight (it wasn't bad, but wasn't really impressive either.) I bought us a new mattress that is being delivered next week, and he gave me a teddy bear. That's about it. We tried to plan a real party on our 25th but no one was able to make it, so this time around we're not doing that.
Weather today has been a bit on the peculiar side. We had a very odd display of cloud shapes around 11 am. There was no warning or watch in our county, but the sky looked like a honeycomb of cavities going upward. It's hard to explain, but imagine a uniform overcast that appears to have a definite ceiling. then imagine huge holes in it pointing straight up, looking as if someone had pushed a giant carrot up into the cloud ceiling at regular intervals, making a series of rows of holes that covered about half the sky. There was severe thunderstorm activity to the south of us, but we had no wind and no rain, just this very weird cloud formation. Later someone referred to it as a "mesoscale convection" I think. or something like that. In any case it was the oddest looking and most disturbing cloud distribution I've ever seen in my life.
Now there appear to be thunderstorms headed in our general direction, but it wouldn't be surprising if they miss us, as they often do. It's bone dry here, and we really could use some decent rainfall.
