Weather: low 66 degrees, high 75 degrees, cloudy, rain most of the day
It started raining about 0430 hours this morning, and the intensity built throughout the morning. By 1000 hours, it was raining so hard that there was little traffic on the road. The reason we know that is that we had to go to Tuscaloosa to take care of an errand. There were no holdups because of traffic, but the rain was a different story. The ditches and potholes are full of water. This rain reminds me of how it used to rain when we lived in Bay City, Texas. In that town, one time we got 12 inches of rain in 12 hours. This rainfall is not quite that bad, and it appears that it is moving on. This area doesn't need any more for a couple of weeks. The rain eased about 1400 hours, and the day finished in a beautiful sunset with clear skies. It looks like the next 4-5 days will be nice.
Today is Thomas's birthday as he turns 12 years old. He had a great birthday party over the last weekend, inviting several of his friends to the house for a sleepover. He had the party last weekend because he is going up to Athens to spend the weekend with his dad. It looks like more festivities are on tap up there for him. Happy Birthday, Thomas.
The rain today kept us in the RV except for the errand we had to run, and we didn't go out to Terri's until about 1600 hours. It was a day of lazing around, reading, and we watched a movie named Longest Yard, with Adam Sandler and Bert Reynolds. Later on, we watched 3:10 To Yuma with Russell Crowe. It was a remake of a classic western movie starring Glenn Ford. I think I liked the original best. It seemed like the remake had a lot of gratuitous violence.
More later, be safe.
