Weather video

I took a video clip of the storm earlier tonite. It’s not the best video … I took it through my living room window. You can see the window screen. But it’s still kinda neat. And you can hear thunder too if you listen carefully (I love my camera).

You can view the video clip here (it’s embedded in the popup window). [it’s a 7 second video clip that’s 630kb]

I really hate to say this, but you’re gonna have to view the video in IE. I have no idea why, but it won’t play in Firefox or Mozilla … at least on my computer. But it does work in IE. I’m not sure if I don’t have a plugin I need or what. But I really wanted to put up the video.

Wacky weather

I do believe that we’re undergoing a climate change. If you want any proof … here ya go …

It’s almost November and I live in North Dakota. We’ve got a thunderstorm going on as I type. Rain is pouring down and there’s thunder and lightning. I’m loving it … but that’s ‘cuz I like storms. And it’s better than a blizzard.

But the fact that we’re getting a thunderstorm and not a blizzard right before Halloween is just crazy. I’m not complaining … believe me … I’d rather have rain than snow. But it’s just not a normal occurance.

Shit … maybe I should shut down my computer. I don’t want the lightning to cause a power surge and take out my ‘puter. And I need to keep an eye on that water line outside of my window. I hope the rain stops before it decides to come into my apartment. I need to find some more food for supper anyways.

Home … for a bit

I’m home from work early today. I had an extra 1hr 45min this pay period. I left at 3:15pm. But I still have to go back. Our checks weren’t ready by the time I left. It’s the first time our new receptionist has done payroll, so I understand why they weren’t done. But I really don’t wanna have to go back now that I’m home. And there’s a line of rain moving through (it’s red on the radar) … I don’t wanna have to go back out in the pouring rain. Oh well. I need to get my check so I can put it in the bank so I can pay rent and other bills. Oh joy … LOL. Maybe that line of rain will have moved through by 4:30pm when I plan to go back to get my check.
