Disaster coming?
The local newsdroids are all aflutter: There may be another Big Windstorm tomorrow! They are exhorting one and all to go stock up on EVERYTHING, buy, buy, buy. Meanwhile, the actual weather pattern seems to indicate that this remnant of some tropical storm named Lingling - sounds like a panda's name - may just go north and into Canada, which the weatherdroid sort of mutters out of the side of his mouth as he grins inanely. What a pathetic spectacle.
Back to Iris Murdoch; this novel is getting a bit more engaging, The Message to the Planet. She was certainly into some strange psycho-philo-sexual something-or-others, was Ms. Murdoch.

We had some good rain and wind here this morning, but right now it is sunny with blue skies. There is some wind, sometimes gusting, but so far so good. I didn't know about the storm, but woke up to find it blowing.
It's been gusting wildly here since about 2:00 P.M. Not nearly as crazy as that storm last December. Kind of stimulating to run and walk in it.
Years ago, there was a Saturday Night Live riff on this weather catastrophizing. It was mock local weather coverage of Wind! and part of the bit involved the camera following a lone leaf blowing down the sidewalk.
Yep, weather, traffic, and the local loser pro sports teams; the Seattle trifecta of "news." Bleah.
May as well be satire.
A panda's name or the name of a concert pianist, perhaps?
