blowin' in the wind Pissed down with rain today. Well it wouldn't piss down with anything else, would it (except piss, maybe - then there really would be a gold rush in California). They've been in 'storm watch' here again, sending the weather-men into fits of mania - those guys speak so fast they should be commentating horse-races. But a few days ago, the weather did get particularly exciting - in Sacramento, they spotted a funnel cloud. Not a full-blown tornado, mind, like the ones which are currently causing chaos elsewhere in the US, but enough of one to get everybody excited. People went into the street to go and watch it, apparently, ignoring the danger that they might be swept off to Munchkinland. I, sadly, saw no such thing.  I'm yet to see a twister - I know I probably shouldn't want to see one, but I've been fascinated by them since I was a little boy. The sheer force of wild nature, an elemental giant marauding across the landscape, caring little for the puny humans in its path. Gotta respect that. And stay out of its way, of course.
