Storms Only A Dog Can Hear!

Zeke's must be psychic!  He has a sixth sense I think for storms!  He's been following me around, panting and drooling on my foot since I got up this morning.  WHICH MEANS:  A storms a brewin'!  OH!  I just heard thunder.  Now, why can't Zeke be psychic about other things that could benefit ME!? 

The weather is supposed to be severe later today - not looking forward to that but I'm hoping that the winds (by biggest nemesis and fear) will not gust up to 80mph again!  With these rain-soaked grounds, these trees are likely to topple right over!  BUT!!!  I'll try to keep my cool.  I just can't be around Kim today because I know she and I will feed off each others fears!  Not to mention we both have kook-a-doodle dogs that are petrified of storms. 

By the way - I checked out the Top Ten Windiest Places in America and 8 out of 10 are in California.  The other two?  Hawaii.  I will not be moving to either place. 

I also checked out the record for wind gust in the U.S.  Holy Shit!!!  In April, 1934 - a wind gust in Mount Washington New Hampshire registered at 231 mph!  That is really close to Maine!  I wouldn't have a tree left!  That's some scary shit. 

Okay - so that's all I've got!  But before I go...how about an amazing fact?

Did You Know?
Famed frontiersman Daniel Boone never wore a coonskin cap. He did, however, suffer from a medical condition that caused his breasts to lactate.  Oh snippity snap!  How bad would that have been.  Maybe he wore coonskin caps on his man boobs!  That would soak up the leakage, for sure!  How unfortunate!  All his frontier friends probably made fun of him!  Talk about being bullied!  I feel so bad for old Danny!
