Good morning.
It's 64, extremely cloudy and very wet with rain still falling. The high should be around the mid 70's and there's a really good chance (guarantee actually) of major thunderstorm activity.
I rode out the storms yesterday with minimal damage. The trailer was struck by lightning at least once leaving me with a pair of severely rattled eardrums. The flash was so bright it lit the windows. Quite a feat since they're covered with 2 inches of expanding foam on top of black paint. I did that back in my days as a newspaper carrier and later a security guard, both of which required that I sleep by day and work by night. I worked graveyard for 15 years. There's no damage to the trailer or any of my electronic equipment though I would swear that I literally hit the ceiling. It's 3/8" plywood so it can take quite a smack. The only after effect (besides my ears ringing like gongs) was the metal window frames glowing a blueish white, a usually harmless display called St Elmo's Fire. I'll have to wait til sunrise to see what the damage outside is. My mother and my older sister were in Alexandria last night when the main part of the storm blew through. As far as I know they're alright. I'll find out for sure in a few hours. Hopefully today I will be uninterrupted and can get some layout work done other than a bit here and a bit there.

! Yes, the base capper is still a mystery
Who? What? or just Why??
sounds confusing. But any who who, ripping the base off the ancor is easier than tring to dig the whole thing up and running a way with a 50# base. I know it was a prank cause a Home plate in good condition is only worth $20
