Dust Storm In Illinois?

 Zero visibility in blowing dust on a major highway-- I thought that only happened around here. Maybe it will rain today. If it does I have to be prepared for another shower of hail. No rain here unless it's part of a hail storm. That seems to be the rule.










I'm still enjoying the Sue Grafton novels. Still trying to avoid complications, and yet complications find me, and I have to deal with things I'd rather avoid. What a drag.

Hot Yesterday

 Hot but it felt great until another norther blew in. Windy and cool after that. One damned norther after another. 










I've got a lot to do today.

Very Warm Today

 At this time of year it's a wild ride on the seasonal roller coaster of temperature swings. Maybe a high of 90 F today. After a bleak wintery day just 48 hours ago! It's only in the forties right now. But it seems that the first week of May will be really almost perfect, except for the complete absence of rain. So dry. Your antiperspirant should be so dry. 










It's what we have got and nothing can be done about it.

Near Freezing This Morning

 The cold this morning was obscene for the time of year. Wind down at least. It didn't freeze but got close to it. Maybe this is the last of wintery weather. Yesterday was pretty much cold and bleak and windy garbage. Plenty of sunshine to start today. Will the northers finally bugger off?

Is It October??

 You'd think so, judging by today's weather. One more slap in the face. It'll be close to freezing tomorrow morning, and then a very rapid warm up and one can hope that this will be the last cold spell until-- October. Some rain is possible, remotely. I'll believe that when I see it. Maybe a light, cold, drizzle. Windy today, of course. Bleak. Hey, blowing dust would be the icing on this "cake".
