The wind was quite stiff today. I was outside for a short while today right in the middle of the gusts. I think I must have attention deficit disorder or something, because I could not ignore the urge to chase the leaves, pine needles, and bits of trash that were being blown about in the wind. I finally gave up and went inside.
Thunderstorms rolled in to town this evening. Everyone thought that the storms would be much worse than they actually were. Schools dismissed early, local meetings around town were cancelled, the school board meeting got postponed; the town was being overly cautious. I suppose that makes sense, though. The last time a storm system such as this one blew through, tornadoes tore up a large portion of town. Fortunately, the only thing this particular system produced was thunder, rain, and barking dogs.
Why do dogs bark at thunder? Seriously, what is the point? Perhaps they bark at thunder the same reason they bark at garbage trucks and the brown UPS trucks. Dumb.
Currently, the celling fan is blowing a piece of paper around in the den. Excuse me, please. I need to go chase it. I just can't help myself . . .
