Good morning or good evening, wherever  you may be. It is just past 3:00 a.m. in "This City."

Well, it is now over here in the Panhandle. Last night, there were tornadoes, T-storms, high winds, floods, and a nearly non-stop coverage of those weather phenomenon on the local TV stations. I must admit, that given the severity of the weather and the disastrous results of some of the most severe, it was not overkill. R/V parks were devastated, cars were overturned, and buildings were flattened or had their roofs torn off. STWD spent the evening hours in her hide-e-hole to shield herself from the worst of the storms.

Right now, the temperature is 65°, it feels like 63°, and we will be dropping to today's high of 57° by the time the sun rises at 6:22 a.m. Today, we will have windy and partly cloudy conditions to accompany that high temperature. As the week wears on, temperatures will improve and the skies will be sunny.

I finished one book yesterday and started another. These are books that Mary picked up in which the protagonist is a young woman who grew up in an Amish community, moved to Texas, and later inherited an Amish quilt shop from her aunt. who married an Amish man. The protagonist is not herself Amish. Pulp fiction? Yes, but it makes for a fun read. I can't tell you more, because Mary made me promise to not spoil the last book for her.

Today, I don't plan to do much of anything. I banged my ribs yesterday and they are a bit sore. As near as I can tell, none are broken, but I don't have the energy to do much. Fortunately, I don't have to.

The sun will set at 5:44 p.m. Ciao.
