OT: OMG... The Weather

Dog3 said:

I was putzing around innocently in the kitchen when all of a sudden this
storm hit. I'm not kidding, one of the worst I've ever seen. The
electricity went out and the gusts were so strong, the privacy fence off
the dining room patio flew

Whatever it was, it dropped the temps out here on the frontier by 22
degrees from yesterday. TGFSF!

I'm so happy about the weather today, I'm beside myself! <me, stop
elbowing me!> After a bazillion days of 100+ weather, it's only about
80 outside now. NOW!! It's 3:30 and it's 80 and that's as hot as
it's going to get for the day!!! Oh let's whip out the brandy, throw
a log in the fireplace, where're my longjohns?!

Rack of lamb for dinner, I can finally use the oven.

It's 68 degrees here right now. Rained all day yesterday.

I hope you don't have any serious property damage, Michael.

Is the rice included? It always from the Chinese place we order from.

It's not free, if that's what you mean.

I didn't grow it, just added water and turned on the rice cooker.

Didn't your mother ever tell you
"Watch your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves"?

Bummer! It is where we order. If we ask for extra, it's 50¢!

Upselling is the way of life here, so we learn to say "no" to little
things.

It's common in Seattle to pay extra for rice alongside the entrees in
Asian restaurants.

You can say that again. We were in the low 80s today and what a pleasure it
was. I was actually able to go outside after 9:00 AM!
