Oh, the irony!

Okay, so Dad and I were talking on the phone tonight about the crazy weather in the East. They've had some crazy snow! D.C. is all shut down and the government buildings and everything haven't been open since last week.
But, you know what's funny? Along with there being no Congressional crap or stuff like that, you know what isn't running? FEMA! The Federal Emergency Management Agency!
The agency which is in charge of handling emergencies, including natural disasters and all sorts of emergencies is closed during a winter weather emergency. Isn't that when they're supposed to be working? Ironic, huh? By the time they decide to go back to work, the emergency will be over! Can anybody say Katrina?

Thunder!

Woo hoo! There was thunder! Yes, I'm weird. I love thunder!
Its been raining for awhile now, and there was just a tiny thunder rumble. It was not much and with my luck is probably all we'll get, but woo hoo! Did I mention I love thunder?
Back in Iowa, we had thunderstorms a lot in the spring and summer, and I was always a weirdo and enjoyed them. There's hardly ever thunder out here. I can only think of one actual thunderstorm since I've been out here, one I would actually call a thunderstorm, and it was probably close to a year ago.
So, by no means was or is this a thunderstorm, but there was a little thunder rumble, so I'm happy! Maybe I'll get lucky and there'll be more.
Okay, well, obviously since it did rain, the puppy outing was called off. Too bad, but probably best for the puppies. Next meeting is at the end of February, so that should be fun.
Wish me luck on getting more thunder! Yes, I know, I'm weird!
