  • High 28° (82.4°) to 31° (87°)

The depression is heading NORTH with a bit of a shove from the west on it's rear end

Yeah well I'm still 90% accurate

Obviously I should have stuck with my earlier prediction of some tentacles of the storm reaching this area. "A drop in the bucket of what we really need."

I was swayed by the fact that the majority of forecasters predicted heavy storms. 

The only part of the forecast which held true:  cooler temperatures for a few days.  Cooler temperatures meant airconditioners could take a rest, a savings of money I can spend elsewhere.

At least another day of cooler temperatures.  One thing very obvious, this system is moving very slow

It was one of those day's when I would have been better off to stay in bed

The camera mounted on my motorcycle has helped me to judge my own driving habits. If you think driving is dangerous... try pushing a shopping cart through a major market. Are they all sleepwalking?

So what do curb colors mean. I see vehicles parked at black and white, yellow and white. Oh, it's just decoration
