sunset before the storm


That's what the sunset from my balcony looked liked yesterday. And soon after that another tropical depression happened. Rain and light and sound effects all night. The cats were running wild disturbing my sleep. This morning I had an early meeting in a place I was not quite sure I knw how to find, so I got up early, braved the torrential rain, drove in the water pools one could drown in .... just to be told - when I finally got there - that the meeting was canceled due to inclement weather. Soon after I learned that my office was closed, as well, for the same reason: rain, fog, tropical depression. So I went home, picked up my laptop and decided to go to Borders, try my luck with internet... since I still haven't manage to unpack and install my TV (why? I have no idea how to do it and the maintenance guys are never there where I am), much less to get cable internet.
The connectivity at Borders is spotty today - you guessed it : tropical depression - but it is better than nothing.

Glad to hear that you didn't get washed away and all cats present and correct. The beautiful sunset puts paid to the 'red sky at night' theory wouldn't you say?

zooms, enlighten me, please, what does red sky at night theory say? I must have missed that school day ;-)

"Red sky at night shepherd's delight,
red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning."
Old English folklore weather forecast.
