The middle of Nowhere, OK...

is actually a wonderful place to live.

We've been here since 1997. The climate here is the epitome of the word "moderate".

We get a little snow in the winter, usually about 5"... once.

In the summer we get a couple of "OMG hot as Hades" days over a hundred degrees... but only a couple.

There's a touch of color in the Fall, not enough for this

I remember you and pop looking at me like I was insane as I stood just outside the back door with My Peach (Cheech) watching the lightning, listening to the heavy rain and thunder. Even Cheech thought I was crazy... he kept looking up at me asking if I really wanted to be standing there with a storm a comen' in that doggy way.

Alaska rarely has thunder and lightning storms and if we do they're normally way way up, striking a halo around the mountain ranges instead of down where people can get the full gravity of Mother nature. That's one of those things people often take for granted, weather in all it's glory. I like to think that I have a very healthy respect for it since I didn't go stand out under the huge tree just to view it.

I have vague recollections of throwing open all the windows when the sky turned orange back in Florida. Hearing the freight train off in the distance and huddling together in the house as it blazed by, rattling the windows and tempting to take the roof in it's passing. From there the recollection of sitting under the chandelier at Althea's, watching the globes rattle and consider falling during an earth quake.

Since Florida times I decided that if God (or the Universe) wants to take me out with a bolt of lightning or a falling object while the ground shakes there really isn't much I can do to prevent it. I can however not be the tallest thing on a level patch of ground and glance upwards when the world starts to rumble underneath me. I played in the eye of Gloria, oblivious to the gravity of the situation... I maintain that weather related ignorance and appreciate the fact that whatever will be, will be.

PS: It's Oklahoma... if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

I'm busywatching the map...
