Nasty Weather, Perfect Reading


The weather outside was frightful, but inside it was quite delightful today.



Strange and unusual weather seems to be not so strange and unusual these days. Earlier in the day it was 96 degrees, hot, and humid. Now it is 74 degrees, wet, and no humidity as major rain storms worked their way through the city.  This is the kind of weather I was not expecting to encounter in the East. Spectacular bolts of lightening, bangs of thunder, and lots and lots of rain. This was the king of weather people from the Midwest said they missed in the East. Red and purple weather on the slide rule of the rain weather maps. Big, noisy, flashy thunderstorms.


But red and purple weather make for a great reading day. Deep into a mystery book, it was a good day to curl up in the swivel chair, take glances at the spectacular lightening, and try to figure out how the hypnotist is going to find his kidnapped son, reclaim his marriage, and help the police track down a young man accused of killing his family. 

Nasty weather, perfect reading.
