Puh.  Leez.

Though we are finally starting to get signs of spring here (forsythia, daffodils, other things poking up out of the earth, lilac bush starting to bud--all at Friend’s house, mind you, but I’ll take it where I can get it).

BTW, and completely off this topic, I had exactly the same thought (re mapplethorpe etc.) as the one you submitted over at Twisty’s.

The name of one of our weather guys here in Orlando is Tom Terry, or as everyone calls him “ Scary Terry”. He goes into full freakout mode when we get thunderstorms which is every day most of the summer. Hurricane in the Caribbean? Forget it. We also used to have a guy named Danny Traynor who was obviously drunk on the noon news towards the end of his TV career. You can tell how long someone has been in Orlando if you ask about the weather or if it is raining outside and they answer “ Who do I look like, Danny F-ing Traynor?”

Oh yeah, I remember those thunderstorms. Ran like trains, the three o’clock storm, whoosh, and it’s so goddamned warm you don’t mind getting rained all over.

Some people just gotta get worked up over something or they don’t feel they’ve put in a day’s work.

I remember my mother calling the local tv station, just a few miles away, to yell at the weather man to look out a window.  He was forecasting partly cloudy while we had a whiteout.
