This was a long Monday - a good swim class, but lots to get at Wal-Mart. WM turned out a bit exciting. As I left the store, one of the 6-packs of Sam Adams turned over and one of the bottles fell out and shattered. Yuck! At least there was somebody there to clean it up.
Bridge was lovely. I had a great score - almost 6000 points for the afternoon. I probably will wind up in the top 5 for the day. It was fun!
The weather was majorly summer today. The high was 100 and from about 5 p.m. on, throughout the evening, there was almost continuous lightening and thunder and severe storm warnings. Reporting stations in the area had 1.5 to 3" of rain. And we got not ONE drop! Well, they always say these are "scattered", and that's obviously the case. But it is amazing to see that huge solid green area on the radar, and to be bone dry.
We watched an interesting program tonight on PBS. Part 1 of "Chasing Churchill: In Search of My Granddfather" was on tonight. It's written and narrated by Winston Churchill's granddaughter, Celia Sandys. She is following in her illustrious grandfather's footsteps. He was an formidable man and dominated much of the 20th Century. There are three parts, the other two to be on the next two Monday nights. I hope you get this program on your PBS station - it's well worth your time to watch.
Forgot to mention: Watch the weather for the next couple of days. Hurricane Dolly is headed for the Texas Coast - Houston to Brownsville, and The Valley. I do hope they have minimal or no damage, but much needed rain from this storm.
