24 September 2005 - Saturday
Stormy weather and time travel
Rain has been pouring since I got up today. The wind is driving it at a steep angle, so people have trouble staying dry at all when they venture outside. My front yard has several low places -- one might say the entire yard is a ditch, actually -- so it is watery. Fortunately, the apartment itself is on higher ground.
The electricity went off a few times this morning, but it has been on for me this afternoon. Right now, I am copying more notes from my Tocqueville books and listening to popular music from World War II. I have a playlist with two and a half hours of vintage recordings.
Sitting at my desk, I face a small window. I have the blinds open so that I can watch the action outside. The storm does not seem threatening at all; there does not seem to be any thunder or lightning. Dry and cool indoors, I find the weather charming.
Time for tea.

Wilson,
sometimes you just sound....so....so civilized.

I'm glad to hear that the storm doesn't appear threatening there at present. By contrast, we are experiencing record heat in the Hill Country. It is certainly an opportunity to be thankful for air conditioning. Enjoy the vintage music, the scholarly pursuits, and, of course, your tea.
