I went outside and took a picture of our dun-colored skies for your amusement/amazement, Gentle Reader.
Doesn't bode well for an outdoor happy hour!
ReplyDeleteWe have the opposite here. Been raining and raining inbetween rain events.
ReplyDeleteEverything is so sopping wet that even the mildew is getting moldy.
There will be NO outdoor Happy Hour today, Deb. But we shall carry on indoors!
ReplyDeleteInno: You live in Orygun... what do you expect? ;-)
PS: I had me an "Orygun" tee shirt in the way-back, when I was stationed in K-Falls... the armpit of Orygun.
I've been to Kingsley Field a couple times to see the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels. Yeah, other than that, K-Falls sucks.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the T-Birds at Kingsley too, Inno. Drank in the NCO club bar with 'em after the show, as well. That was one of the better moments in my AF career. Srsly.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much good to say about K-Falls, other than that. ;-)
I've been in some dust storms in West Texas where you could not see across the street. Not a pretty sight. That is what happens when you live in a peanut field.
ReplyDeleteI haven't experienced a dust storm like that, Lou. Yet. But there was grit in my eyes when I came in after taking that photo yesterday. It was ug-LEE.
