Wordley

My mom found this new online toy. It does funky things to words. Like:

Also known as:

The Termite

by Ogden Nash

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

Stormy sunset

After the Kr-boom and panning to the left...






Cloudy interference

There has been some wacky weather this week, leading to some odd clouds. Pardon the occasional interference and non-clear photos. I'm not yet skilled in taking photos while driving but some of the clouds needed to be shown anyway.





There was also a wee bit of rain.

Kr-boom

I missed getting home before this storm hit by a couple of minutes. It completely soaked me, head to toe, running from my car to put the garbage can away that had ended up in the driveway, back to the car to park in the driveway, then to the front door. A matter of seconds. It had calmed down a lot by the time I got to videotape it.



UPDATE: I talked to my next-door-neighbor and apparently if I'd been a little later getting home I wouldn't have gotten home until much later. All the roads into the neighborhood were apparently flooded. Her husband and kids were stranded for a while. Now I don't mind getting bonked in the head with hail quite so much.

Oregonness

Came back from a trip to Oregon last week. Got a few good photos. Still sifting through them.





(Yes, this last one was taken from the plane)
