weathering...

With it raining just about every afternoon & evening, coupled with the 5 nights/week of sporting events, we have had ample opportunity to experience the extremes in weather.

One night this week, our team, (sponsored by Armor Plate Ink,) had a softball game - it was pouring, raining horizontally (thank you Nevada wind!) But it wasn't sooo bad. The grass got soaked (as did we,) the softballs were slick with the water, the dirt infield became just a bit muddy... but we were able to play on & make it through all 6 1/2 innings of the game. The storm was a good one, but we were able to play through it.

Another night this week, thePastyOne was out at Mackay Stadium for UNR football camp with his team. And it was raining. When I say raining, what I mean is that more water was coming down from the sky at one time than I have ever seen in my whole life (& I was in a hurricane in Georgia in 1994). The magnitude & scope of the storm was such that they actually stopped the practice/scrimmaging & cancelled for the evening. There had been some debate about trying to tough it out & play through the mess, but the combination of thunder & lightning (very, very frightening?) made the decision to cancel an easy one.

I love the rain. Don't go away for long...
