A little of this and that … Was surprised when I traveled uptown ’round noontime Tuesday, discovered it was ‘cold outside’, like 38 to 40 degrees, later in pm, temps begin to rise. Temp at 5:30 a.m. today at the local airport was 47 degrees. Check weather early this a.m. and discovered over an inch of rain had been reported at that time, actually, closer to 1 1/2 inches…
Next 48 hours, guess unstable would be the best description of the weather…

South wind 5 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. … 80% chance or rain.

Life is about using the whole box of crayons…
Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs. But it’s your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.
If your dreams don’t scare you they’re not big enough.
In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.
