Dear Jeff, Blick, Felix, and WeatherCat drought watchers,
First the forecast . . . . pictorially of course:
I snapped this photo this morning and it is perfectly consistent with the old saying:
Red sky at morning, sailors take warning;
Red sky at night, sailors' delight.Believe it or not there is a Wikipedia article on this saying:
Did you know that Jesus is quoted in the gospel of Matthew (16:2-3) making the same observation? Jesus is known to be a lot of things, but now we have to add weather forecaster to the list! William Shakespeare also said something similar in his play: Venus and Adonis.
Better still, the National Weather Service is also sticking to their wet forecast!
I am surprised there is anything green at your house - with the historic drought
Well, people water around here - a lot! Also our water district had been better than most in preparing for a potential drought. We only had a 10% voluntary restriction. Lots of other places in California weren't so lucky.
If any of you were Myst enthusiasts, I think that is the tree that links you to Channelwood.
Wow, you sure took me back to the mid-90s, Blick. I spent a lot of hours at a Mac keyboard playing that marvelous game.
Ditto! My dissertation chair and I were actually beta-testers on the original Myst game. We couldn't figure out how to get into all the world, but because we got a prototype version, there was a way to get to the actual hypercard code, so I was able to get us to all the worlds so we could complete our evaluation!
Cheers, Edouard
