Nothing in between...

Yesterday, before the front blew in, it was 92º with a hot, humid wind from the south. During the time we went out for supper, the temp dropped 30º, and the wind changed from the south to the north... and blew like stink all night long. Yesterday we were in shorts and t-shirts, today it will be jeans and jackets. Rainy, windy, and a high around 50º. Oh, and that tail wind that helped our mileage yesterday has turned to a headwind.

Yep, nothing in between.

On edit:

The rain started as a light mist and built to a pounding downpour. As you might expect, it didn't change the driving style of most of the folks on the Interstates and highways - they still switched from the far left lane, across 4 lanes to the far right lane and onto the exit ramps. At one point, we saw one of the "Amber Alert" signs that said there was a stalled car in the left lane ahead; then another sign saying the same thing, and stating what exit it was near. There were 4 traffic lanes plus an HOV lane at that point, and I stayed in the 3rd lane. A car came speeding by us on the left, saw the flashing lights of the stalled car, and slammed on the brakes - all the water on the road sent him hydroplaning, right next to us!! I couldn't swerve to the right because of traffic, so told Joan to brace... the car ran across the plastic barricades separating the HOV lane and caught traction again just inches from the cement wall! The guy did a fine job of pulling out of the skid, but I have no doubt there will be skid marks in his pants as well as on the pavement.

We are down for the night; got to set up in a light rain. Well, I started setting up in a light rain... it quickly turned heavier. That's my fault: I did say, "Well, it looks like Mother Nature is going to give us a break," as we pulled into the site. The rain didn't matter that much - the site is full of low spots that are holding inches of pooled water... I got wet from above and below.

With the pounding rain, you'd think it would wash off some of the dirt and grit we have accumulated over the past few days... you'd be wrong; now everything we own is muddy instead of gritty. Again, my fault; I did say, "Maybe the rain will wash us off..."

I really have to keep some of these thoughts to myself.
