Gee, there's some pretty wild weather outside right now. I think I'll wait a bit, and see if it settles down! Here's the scoop from weather.com:

The rain is coming down at about 45 degrees, pretty strong, and there's some hail too. Much more fun to watch from the inside than the outside. Especially when I have several packages I want to take to the post office on my way in.
