Quick update

I have such trouble on midnights, trying to have enough energy to really work out. Even alone in the room with earplugs, I just can't sleep very well. But the first two mids are the worst and they are over. I did work out today pretty well, though and made it another ten miles to 3,365 total since I started working out. I'm approaching Winnemucca, NV on my journey.

A friend of the family gave me a perfectly timed gift of "One Eternal Round" by Hugh Nibley. I'm trying to read, eventually, everything written by him. This is a collection of things which he was in process of writing when he died, published posthumously.

What else?

We got a thunderstorm with small hail today in Elko. I ALMOST put it in the forecast, but backed off. I mean, c'mon, thunder with hail in Elko, on March 2? Really? Wish I had now. So today I put it in, which will naturally kill any thunderstorms for several states around. If you want to save the public's lives, just forecast bad weather. Then the sun will come out.

Sooo, on the flip side, does that mean when you forecast sunny weather you are trying to kill us off?
