I’m not a writer and I have no ambition to be one. There was a time I played around with writing fan fiction. That urge kind of passed. At least for now. Occasionally I do play around with characters I’ve created and their stories and their worlds. I see it more as creative exercise for my mind than anything else. Besides it’s just fun. Recently I was doing some research for an idea I had related to using auroras in a story. I don’t live where they appear and basically know very little about them. So lots of research involved. But I love browsing stuff about weatherRead More →

During a particularly busy and stressful week with nothing else ready to post I noticed the National Weather Service (NWS) doing a lot of posts related to the fact that the NWS is observing an anniversary on October 1. So I thought a quick link post about the NWS would be fun today since I’m a weather spotter in real life and love all things related to weather anyway. Please note that a weather spotter is not a storm chaser. Weather spotting is simply about knowing what to look for wherever or whenever and reporting it as needed.

I saw an article on these several months ago but lost the link so did some digging. Still trying to figure out if they’re real or a trick of photography though. Honestly, either way they are neat to look at. During the summer, if you’re very lucky, you may notice a cloud in the sky that looks just like a rainbow. These so-called “fire rainbowsȁ Source: Fire Rainbows And How They Form | IFLScienceRead More →

I saw this tweet earlier by Wendy: RT @avonbooks: RWA – Gaylord hotel update: they’re monitoring situation & will announce outcome as soon as they can http://bit.ly/dgNL6c Technically, we’re in western Kentucky, just over the border slightly northwest from Clarkville, Tennessee, but we got a lot of rain ourselves over the weekend. Not nearly as much as central Tennessee, though. They got roughly 2 feet in 2 days. So, yeah, it’s a bad situation pretty much all around Nashville right now. In fact, I feel like we’re living in an island of calm since there are counties both to the east and west of usRead More →

I have those glasses that darken with the sunlight. When I went outside the other day to get the mail and came back inside, they took forever to change back to regular after all that reflection off the snow. And the sun wasn’t even shining that day! I was walking around the house for several minutes wondering why it was so dark before I figured out what in the world had happened.
