Imagine my surprise when I encountered this tattooed pig while driving to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.

Rain! Rain fell yesterday, albeit for an extremely brief period—approximately 5 seconds. The weatherpeople forecast thundershowers. While 5 seconds of light rain does not, in my mind, constitute thundershowers, it does fulfill the predictions to a minor extent. It was sufficient to make Mr. Nitro look very nappy. Before the rain fell, he had a light coat of dust. Following the rain, he looks very much in need of a bath!

This morning, I awakened at 4:30 AM and watched a fairly impressive lightning display. So far, the day is clear, sunny, and warm. Forecasts, however, once again call for thundershowers. We shall see.

The sky is strange-looking and somewhat ominous this morning. It is warm yet unseemly humid. It is already 65 degrees, and it is 6:59 AM. The humidity is at 59%. Hopefully, the humidity will drop.

Update: At 7:15 AM, the humidity had dropped to 51%, the sky had cleared, and it appeared that this would be a beautiful day. A mere 30 minutes later, the sky is now overcast again, the temperature has dropped to 62 degrees, the humidity has risen to 58%, and showers are predicted! Yikes!
