We've arrived. After more than a year without a website, my escape pod has finally landed, here at Google's blogger service. It's all fine. Just a few cobwebs from the space spiders. A brave new world.

Sky drama

We experienced a temperature delta of greater than 20 degrees over the last few days. Here is the angry sky during the current temperature valley. Those vertical plumes above the distant hill are sleet/hale showers falling from the cumulonimbus monster.
