Weather fronts


We're having an amazing weather front go through right now. We've just had a squall line - rain and wind. But behind it, the temperature is dropping like a rock! We're currently at 63, and Nashville (100 miles NW of us) is at 35! Wow! We didn't have the rain gauge out, but we did get a pretty good rain out of it.

The Men Vols won tonight at Alabama - the first time in ages, 93-86. They've been fun to watch this year.

The Republican Florida primary is now history - with McCain first, then Romney, and Giuliani coming in a distant third. I just checked Google, and Giuliani is withdrawing (about time), and is going to support McCain. Anna Quindlen has an interesting column in this week's Newsweek. She comments on McCain's age as a factor that should be addressed, but isn't being mentioned. In this race, gender and race are fair game, but age seems to be taboo. Her premise is that, as stressful as the presidency is nowadays, age certainly should be taken into consideration. Makes sense to me!

We voted in the Tennessee Democratic primary this morning (early voting). Of course, we'll be supporting the Democratic nominee, no matter who he/she is. The only goal will be to get a Democrat into the White House.

Today's picture is a gray day with low clouds at Loch Lomond, Scotland.
