Norther!

We've been experiencing some really balmy days, with highs in the 80s. Today also started out sunny and warm. Around noon it was in the 80s, and we spent some time in the hot tub before having our lunch poolside. Then things changed in the blink of an eye. First rain started to fall. Then a few minutes later, the wind picked up, and the trees were whipped around. We grabbed our lunch and ran inside.

Within a few minutes, the temperature dropped nearly 30 degrees. The downpour pounded on the roof and overflowed the pools. We were happy when we arrived home to find that we had no leaking, probably because we're sheltered.

This evening we watched three programs on the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This was in addition to watching the network news coverage. Of course we both remember where we were when we heard the news. In 1963 we had just started college. Kennedy had captured the imaginations of a generation of Americans, including us. What a tragic loss.
