but nobody ever does anything about it"(Mark Twain).
What a day yesterday was. Hung out with Ali and his cousin Nima (his last day in town). My students arrived from Mexico. They are a great group; we already started having fun.
Also, I had a chance to hang out with Nick and a friend of his (David...a really good guy). We were sitting outside having a cup of coffee at around 11:00 and all of a sudden the wind picked up. Instantaneoulsy, the weather dropped at least 15 degrees. I mean it changed in a second. Then the lightning was crackling above us in its usual Texas electrical curcuitrous way. The wind started to really whip around and soon Nick, David and I were the only ones still sitting outside (we did move under an oning though...just in case). After about five good minutes of this, the locusts started goign crazy and retreating. Nick and I agreed this was a bad sign. Not long after that it was a downpour. If you've been in this part of the country you know that heavy rain in Philly is a drizzle here. Well...we retreated into the coffee shop (but only after we were sure we wold get drenched otherwise) and waited it out. Ali at that time was in Addison with Nima and reported hail. Crazy stuff, huh? It's one thing I love about it out here. When the rain stopped, the rest of the evening was beautiful. Now today...hot and humid already!

You sound like your busy already. Here's hoping for a short summer. What was the weather like in Roswell? And a big howdy to all my friends in Big D (or neighboring municipalities).
