Another day, another cloud formation looms. Because of forecast Santa Ana winds blowing from the East and bringing warmer temperatures, I started the morning wearing shorts. One walk later, and I had donned blue jeans. Brrr. Yes, wind whipped but chilly.
Mid-afternoon, unforecasted heavy rain—and hail—fell with a vengeance. Sitting in the cozy, comfortable backseat of our car, reading, I enjoyed the fierce torrent from Mother Nature. (What was she so mad about?) You wonder: Why use the vehicle like a public library? Warmth and quiet.
Sometime after the downpour ended, I walked about the neighborhood. Thirty or so minutes later, when going up the sidewalk to our building, I looked long at the clouds clinging to the Western sky. I decided to mark the moment in color, with something like yesterday’s black-and-white sunset.
