Behind schedule...

 

Not unusual here in the Tropical Tip.  This time, it is Mother Nature - the forecast overnight thunderstorm didn't happen (I don't mind), and when I got up it was 70º.  Local TV weather was showing the cold front just north and west of us, but hadn't reached us yet.  Looks like I have time to get out for a bicycle ride before the front arrives.

It was eerily calm.  Humid.  Overcast.  I took this photo...

 

That is the sun, not the moon.  Within a few seconds of taking that, it disappeared behind the solid overcast.

By 10:15, the wind was changing to the north.  Thunderstorms, with wind and significant rain predicted through the afternoon.  We rolled up the sunscreens on the deck last night; looking at the forecast now, we took down the American flag that normally flies from a post on our deck.

Time to cocoon.

The weather has turned to crap, but some needed sunshine in my day: the doctor called this afternoon... good news; she said, "No detectable PSA - consider yourself cured.  See you in 4 months for a check-up.  Work on your Kegel exercises and enjoy riding."
