Finally it looks like we will get a respite form the stormy weather here on Phuket which held the island and its beaches in its grip. Around midday we had a few specks of blue sky here in Phuket Town.Later while walking along Patong Beach, a light drizzle disappointed a little bit, and the grey unfriendly sky did not seem to be too promising; but I would guess that the latest storm front has passe

Could not sleep any longer this morning - got up around 6:30 and figured I would get a blog in before internet inevitably went out on us. Pretty much as soon as I decided that checked that we were online and got my pc booted we lost it. Thankfully we have power and Paul just gave me Tetris to put on my pc.Been up off and on all night listening to wicked lightening and thunderstorm. After checking

It'll be cloudy tonight with winds at around 10 to 15 mph. And there are strong storms in the forecast tomorrow. The high Saturday will be around 80, with strong 20 to 25 mph winds. The afternoon storms could produce heavy, large hail — and the chance of precipitation is 70 percent.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 80 degrees - very nice considering all the rain lately - but then, of course, the rest of the week will be raining and t-storms. I was impatient to go out in the most horrid of thunderstorms yesterday with my 2 year old - the shopping bug wouldn’t leave me [...]

Thursday night parts of North Texas were pounded with heavy rain and high winds and some dealerships had some serious damage caused by hail. Which put us out of the danger zone. By the time the storms reached the Garland area they had weakened and even though we had some small hail there was no damage.

I have been thinking about posting much more of the post World War II type blues music. And that is what got me thinking more about Stevie Ray Vaughan. There are some great modern bluesmen like SRV, Clapton, and John Mayall. I will try to find and post more of their music as we go along.Having said that, and in keeping with my last post. Check this out;Notes from YouTube - Two of the greatest blues guitarists join together on this special jam at CHCH Studios in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. December 6 1983.

This was Sunday, a mile or so down the lane to the beach, blue sky, sun. This little van sits hidden away just above the sand...the van I am living in is a little bigger than this but this one is so sweet, what a great place for summer nights. Anyway Sunday was just that, Sun day and overnight Monday became Storm day. The caravan rocks and shakes, fences fly about like bits of paper and the cows are looking fed up...we have storms, the electric keeps on going and the TV has lost its sound so I think this evening it must be candles and a good book, almost as romantic as the little red van down the road...tomorrow I will post pictures of my new home.

As promised the country was battered by gale force winds and driving rain this morning. As promised during the morning rush hour. As promised general travel chaos ensued (as it always does whenever the weather varies from mild and sunny). I got to the bus stop to find that the temporary bus stop had been moved back to the regular bus stop, not officially - I think by disgruntled passengers who

In this area of Florida, even though there are four seasons, it sometimes feels like three: Spring, Summer, Fall. The leaves seem to start falling in November and stop in March. Just because it doesn't usually freeze here in the winter does not mean one should throw safety to the side. One thing people do not consider is that the precipitation comes in the form of our rainy season. Aside from just a week or two in the winter, the boats are on the rivers. Many people come to the area to see manatees near the springs. If you know your boat won't come back until dusk, or you are boating during the July/August rainy season, boat spotlights might be something you want to consider. The rain usually only lasts an hour or two some afternoons, but it really comes down. Visitors

It took me a year but I've finally finished this painting. It went through a few phases and ended up a bit surrealistic. I'm glad I finally finished it.

While feeling a little helpless during the recent market tailspin, it’s comforting to know that we can still count on many stocks to raise their dividends, as they always have been. My second anniversary as a dividend investor is coming up in Feburary, but boy, so far the reality is panning out just as all the dividend investing books said: scoop up rock-solid businesses with histories of raising dividends when they’re cheap. Pretty simple, really. It’s time for another update on my portfolio. 2 months ago I reported a 22.7% distribution increase from North West Company income fund, however 4 more stocks have energized my passive income since: Power Financial – 7.7% (25% from last year) Telus – 20% (20% from last year) Yellow Pages – 3.7% (9.7% from last year) Boston Pizza Royalty Fund – 1.8% (5.5% from last year) Pampered between a rent freeze and dividend increases, I can get used to this.

Like a cheap novel, the days turned dark quite quickly. The plot moves on toward unmistakably dreary November weather. Not my favorite time of year, even though each season has its beauty if you are willing to make yourself aware of it. The suddenly cool and damp weather is the more acutely felt since we had the "heat wave" of this past month, and no one is yet acclimated to the cooler temperatures. It is warm cider and hot chocolate weather, curl up with a sweater and book weather, with that unique must and acrid smell of wet fallen leaves when out walking.=======I have some tulip bulbs that I must yet plant, at the first break from falling rains I have to muster up the motivation to dig them into their cozy winter beds. The leaves are just now dropping from the trees in large amounts, so the the fall raking is still ahead, and the final round up of yard furniture and tools, final major mowing... all need to be done. Actually I am glad it is time to put away the garden for this year,

The rain is going at it again.. and I'm beginning to hear a "tap tap tap" signaling me to put something on the floor because the rain is coming through the leaking roof. Haha.. What to do? Old house.. That's what happens. Anyways, there's no Astro.. and no DVDs to watch. So here I am, not knowing what to surf and just whiling away my time blogging nonsense. The boredom is starting to get to me.

LANDOVER, Md. — The stadium lights dimmed while Kyle Boller’s throw was in mid-air. The pass was incomplete — just like the game. With more lightning on the way, officials decided enough was enough. Saturday night’s preseason game between the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins was halted with 11:38 remaining in the third quarter, giving the Redskins an abbreviated 13-7 win. “Football isn’t played like this,” Washington coach Joe Gibbs said, “going in and out and in and out.” more…

After days of some serious downpour, the weather has finally calmed. And I know it’s pretty selfish to say that I wish it was still raining, especially with all the serious damage it can do, but I can’t help but long for more days of rest. Today, I woke up a little less enthusiastic to be greeted by a much brighter sky. Luckily, I was able to sleep for a little bit more than eight hours. That felt good. Once again, the week came by way too swiftly. And because I have so many things to prepare and accomplish, I hardly had time to acknowledge any more kinds of emotional relapses. In fact, it’s been pretty good. One day at a time, I guess. Blessed with this ‘free day,’ I’m off to finish all the things I have to do. Next week is going to be crazy. BlueREP deadlines, groupworks for ALL my subjects, midterms, papers and quite possibly a lot more things in between that might lead me to the brink of even more stress. I wonder if turning 20 makes it any

  Stormy is a beautiful Quarter Pony. Her dam was a Doc Bar breed QH mare. Stormy was never registered. She is a small town sweetie of a pony. Was raised within 30 miles of here. Has been ridden trails by as young as a 5 yr old and is as close to bombproof as we have found. She had never been in a ring until this am when we made the video. She took to it quiet well. We have a preliminary video-The saddle was way too big and the ground too wet. We also have a short video of Stormy with a beginner rider!

Freaky Stormy's After Party"Here Stormy almost loses control of her bicycle as she learns how to ride for the first time, peddling her ass down the street, towards Leons house, with immediate success I might add. She attracts the boys from far and near, has them running alongside her helping her with her new found skills."

Well last night our place was shakin'. A line of storms came through. We were under a tornado watch all afternoon until midnight and at just about 10:30 pm, the storm hit. Steve and I had taken Zoe for a late dinner after graduation and we got home about 9:30 pm. I went out to the girls and removed their fly masks and the wind had been kickin' up all day. They were nervous. We were about to crawl into bed at about 10:30 and suddenly the house shook and Steve looked outside and all I heard was, "Holy crap, turn off the computers!!" Me, already in just a t-shirt and underwear looked out the window and then ran to the computers. The rain was a complete sheet of white at a right angle. The trees as well. I scrambled for my boots and jeans. Steve was already downstairs and Zoe too. Spot, the border collie was hiding in my closet and the other dogs and cats were under our feet. Now, mind you, we live in a converted barn. This place is over 100 years old and post and beam. No nails. It w

Well, its not stormy yet, but there is rain in the forecast. The clouds have been moving slwoly in all morning long. Bear had a really really bad day yesterday. The worst he has had in a really long time. He didn’t sell anything at all, that was the worst part of it. He had an old lady cuss him out at a restaurant called grandma’s kitchen. Actually that was kind of funny. Then on his way back he went to check on one of his customers, a large marina with lots of boats for sale and the detail man there cussed him out. He swore up and down the cleaner left a film all over everything and made a huge mess. Turns out the idiot mixed it half and half. You can’t mix something 5 times normal strength, especially a cleaning product, and not expect it to leave a soapy film all over everything!!! Well the jack ass poured the entire order out. It was a 400 dollar order and he poured it all out. He is the jackass that mixed it wrong in the first place!!!! I told Bear we will

6×8″, oils $125 via PayPal, $5 shipping within US (email me for international rates) I love this spot on the Hudson. What a treat that the barge came by with its tugboat escort while I was painting. I was just able to get in the main parts of the painting when it started raining. This will be tweaked a bit in the studio to finish it up, but there’s not much left to do….some minor value adjustments and a few more twigs and brush on the left side should do it. I’ll take another photo after I do the tweaks and replace this one. Hudson River plein air sunset storm stormy sky

This story was DIGGED from Gather.com by Briane P. April 13, 2007 09:44 AM EDT This is a timely day for an update, as it’s Stormy’s birthday. (That’s not something I remember; I was reminded of it by the family.) We took Stormy, and Herman and Scruffy, in for checkups yesterday. The local news, WMTV, came and reported on that. You can see the video here. The good news is that Herman and Scruffy have no symptoms at all. The bad news is that Stormy will probably need ongoing checkups for the rest of her life. This morning, I took the vet bill and forwarded it to the lead counsel for the defense. Three of the four defendants have been served, and two of them (the retailers, Woodman’s and Wal-Mart) have tendered the defense to Iams. (”Tendering the defense” is the act of telling someone further down the line of liability — usually an insurer but not always — that they have to handle the case and keep you from harm.) I’ve spok

It’s spooky outside. The sky is pale and the air is warm and still, punctuated by sharp blasts of wind. The television blares announcements and warnings. Schools are getting out early in advance of the bad weather bearing down upon us. Conditions are ripe for severe tornadoes like the F5 that hit just west of us one night in April 1998. Thirty-two-people were killed. I was pregnant with the twins, and Finn was two. Bill herded our dogs into the damp unfinished basement where we huddled uncomfortably. Finn kept slipping off my rounded belly as I sat in a moldy lawn chair. At one point Bill grabbed a golf club and brought it down sharply behind my head. I turned and saw a severed snake, the ends still wiggling. Tornadoes here take a predictable track, and that one stayed on the ground for a long time. We listened to the radio as it hit the counties southwest of us and continued toward us. I remember the sheriff of one town saying, “In the morning when we can see th

Stormy weather Bob and his wife, Lynda, live in Wisconsin. One winter morning whilelistening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are goingto have 4-6 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the evennumbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." Bob'swife goes out and moves her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcersays, "We are expecting 6-8 inches of snow today. You must parkyour car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow canget through. Bob's wife goes out and moves her car again. The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radioannouncer says "We are expecting 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park..........." then the electric power goes out. Bob's wife isvery upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, Idon't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park onso the plow can get through?" With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who ar

We had a rough weekend. It rained/drizzled both days and was cold (for Phoenix). Saturday, neither AtHomeHubby or I felt like even leaving the house - so we didn't. Cabin fever was rampant - AtHomeHubby slept until noon, after a long Friday night shift at the restaurant. By the time he got up - I was pretty frustrated with the kids - needless to say, we were just glad for bedtime.Yesterday was better - we went to the gym (I haven't lost any more, but I'm holding steady) and the grocery store, watched football, AtHomeHubby went to work at 5:00, I made chili - and, OH YEAH - DramaQueen became obsessed with the potty. We bought a kid sized potty seat for DramaQueen, and also put her in pull ups. She really seems to like the following pattern. 1. Put on new pull-up2. Play for a while3. Go potty in the pull up4. Declare that she needs to go potty5. Sit on potty6. Declare, "I POTTY!!! Yea!!"7. Flush lots of toilet paper8. RepeatI think she actually went once - but, as AtHomeH
