The Blue Skies of 'Bama...

The Blue Skies of 'Bama..

That's Ala-bama for those who may have been thinking O'... :)

There's always lots of sunshine here in this part of the world. When people think about our neck of the woods though, they may usually associated it with tornadoes. I know I did before I moved here last year.. So far so good. We only had one night so far, where we had to hang around the shelter, but thankfully, none of thoses spinners landed anywhwere near us.

Living in a tornado zone, is sort of like living anywhere else in "the world". You know disaster could hit anytime. but you just watch the weather and act accordingly. You don't give it much thought until some signs begin to appear on the weather map. When the colors of that radar turn red, you know its time to pay attention and move! I now live in an area that is prone to this type of disaster. I've driven by Tuscaloosa right after that mile wide twister hit in April of last year. That was about two weeks before I moved here. It got my attention.

The world's weather is changing a lot lately, and not just on the meteological level! Every area of our life's landscape has come to realize that blue skies today, does not necessarily mean that the same will manifest tomorrow. It would only be reduntant, if I were to go over the long list of the things wrong with our world. We are inundated daily by dire warnings that the sky is falling. For most, the thought of a sunny day isn't even on the menu. Logical thinking suggesting that better days are coming is viewed as naiive... Storm clouds do not lie.

Have you ever gone to bed after hearing a stormy weather forecast, and after arising, that there wasn't any stormy weather but the sky was blue. Something happened in the upper level winds that completely changed the expectation of the weather prognosticators. Were you dissapointed with the results?

Ok. over 24 hours have transpired since I wrote the previous on this blog. I have a cold and I just didn't feel like writing. Not whining here, just saying. I know there is not much content in this, but I'm posting it anyway. I just want to keep moving...
