Andy can be very mean!
He chose to ignore me, after giving me the claw!
“Douglas is gone, vanished when I turn my head!”
Zzzzzz….

Hail that fell in Scottsbluff, Nebraska on 23 June 2023, photo posted by Ann Salomon
We are getting the June-typical weather this week and next! Tornado alerts – I slept through one during the most recent one – and thunder and lightning accompanying gully washer rainstorms happen nearly daily! Hail with these storms fills your palm and you wish you lived underground. Andy handles the racket unexpectedly well, though lightning strikes nearby produce thunder that rattles the windows, the most “kool” kitty, and me.
While the cooler weather that comes from these storms is welcome, the potential for major damage to possessions is tedious reality.
Remember those shiftless pioneers from a few blog posts ago? Crossing the prairie in the 1800s and getting caught in one of these storms must have been enough to send some back to Ohio and other places east!
I’ve been in one in a car where day turned to darkest night, all traffic had to stop by the roadside to wait out the storm, and the pounding rain roared down on the car with such intensity the car rocked. Very frightening!
