too much heat!

it is way too hot in this town. yesterday it got up to at least 95 with enough humidity to make it feel like it was over 100. today was more of the same until a pretty scary looking storm blew in and dropped the temp 20 degrees in about 5 minutes. i was working in my truck at work with my side door open and it was very very hot in there...all of a sudden a cool wind came through and i thought "oh no, this cant be good". so i looked outside and sure enough, here came the dark clouds. when the storm 1st came in i honestly thought there was a tornado coming. it got so cool so quick and the clouds looked awful. the wind just all of a sudden started howling. praxair is right next to the entrance to "the pit" in mankato. it was funny to see so many cars all of a sudden leaving the pit as the storm started up.

yesterday i had a really busy route. by the time i got home i had to shower and put on a whole new set of clothes. then it was on to softball. after softball i had to shower and put on a whole new set of clothes. it was just way too hot all around.

last Friday i got to see Joey Cape up at the triple rock. Molly, Cyndi, Fred and I drove up early to meet Ross and Monica. Ms Sarah Sylvester was also kind enough to join us. Ross just celebrated his 30th birthday so we wanted to get together with him. the food and company was all around good. the show was good, but disappointing in some big ways. mainly the length of joeys set. waaaay toooo short. his guitarist was late so the band before him played a longer set...by the time the other guy showed up it was not too long before curfue. so he only played a few songs. sadly the guitarist from drag the river was drunk enough to mess most of those up too. long story short- it was fun. but i was disappointed with the way joeys set turned out. but, oh well. that night i got home a little after 4 am. it seriously destroyed my weekend. i napped for 4 hours on saturday. Chloe woke me up sunday morning at 5:30 am...so we napped for 3 hours on sunday. i got very little done around the house. and what i did get done i did with a scowl on my face. this is one of the 1st weeks ever that its actually felt good to get back into the weekly routine.


oh yeah...the pic here. the pic is a storm that developed about 30 miles east of town. it dropped at least 3 (maybe 5) tornadoes and did some damage. this is always the case with pictures, but the picture doesnt show how big this storm really looked. and it cant show how quickly the could was expanding. it was so humid that you could just sit and watch the cloud expand. i dont think ive ever seen a storm build this quickly.

ummm. hmmm. i dont write here enough anymore. when i do i feel so behind that i dont know whats worth mentioning and what isnt. so for now...this is it.
