Rain again?



So here we are in our dry season and expecting more rain within the hour according to our local weather guy, called a senior meteorologist who is on our NBC affiliate here, Robert Van Winkle is his moniker, yep the exact same name as that Vanilla Ice rapper guy, but no relation, as far as I know. Who knows could be related to Rip. Although, some give themselves catchy names and it might not be his born with one, who knows…



Good thing he is NOT related to that Vanilla Ice guy, because then we would definitely be questioning the accuracy of the weather predictions, hmm?

Some of us still do…question that is.

He has said that our particular drizzle will be here at seven P.M. EST, not around but at seven and be on and off into the morning.

WOW!



If it keeps happening like this, a seemingly weekly event, perhaps they will have to rethink our entitled “DRY SEASON”, maybe?

What about “occasional wetter weather that periodically drops out of the sky in winter not that we have winter but that time of the year for the rest of our fine country and it comes to prevent forest fires and is now thought to be working with the state’s fire safety people and knowing that drought is a horrible thing to have so drizzle enjoys smiling on us, this SUNSHINE STATE!” That’s the ticket!



From my personal experience with watery events in this state it is looking like we are in for something, and soon, the wind is a highly visible indicator and our swimming pool is getting that gelatinous appearance of blue Jell-O right now and yes it is an hour before the time it’s supposed to be here.



Knowing what I do from all our years here it amazes me that the predictors have that attitude that it is going to happen when mostly it does but then there are times that it doesn’t, you know what I mean…



Today was quite nice with a slight breeze and mid-seventies and sunny, perfect, by most standards.

Though the whitish sky looked like it might snow, which to my knowledge has never ever happened here in southwest Florida in our lower on the map on the Gulf side close to Ft. Myers by less than fifty miles area south of us. But he is now saying a cold front IS coming in after and within a few days we will have a low in the upper thirties, but daytime temps in the lower sixties, still rather brr for here!



Oddly enough the prediction for those horror temps is short lived since by Sunday we will be back to over eighty degrees…

WHEW!

Did that scare you, I know it scared me…doesn’t take much these days… especially when I am in my climate controlled home.



Haven’t been out yet, in nearly ten days, facial issue is still stopping that.



Healing is an individual thing.



I used to heal faster, as we all did as young persons.



When my boo boo is all done then I will feel free to leave our cocoon of safety…



It very well might be next week.



Boy that wind is making those palm trees sway; pretty looking from being safe in my domain.






Have fun with all the stuff there for you and the kids too, it is a very hot key…and allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!





And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
