Well, the temperature today was a tad nippy, but so hot inside the stores where we shopped that I didn’t wear a coat. Inside of one minute’s time tonight, however, both my brother-in-law here in Sheridan, Wyoming (via the weather channel on his phone) and forgottenman in Missouri (via Skype) informed me there’ll be a change in the weather here tomorrow. Here is forgottenman’s message!
“High of 54 tomorrow morn in Sheridan, Wyoming, where you now are. Then the north wind kicks in. By mid-afternoon sparrows will be dropping outta the sky, froze solid. Small children in schoolyards are next. Skinny bellicose drunk cowboys trying to roll a cig on the range – well, they’ll drop near sunset.”
Wouldn’t he have made an entertaining weather man?
I’m not sure it’s appropriate for me to “like” this post. Feels like I’m grandstanding. But – oh, well. Thanks for the exposure.

I liked it, too. I’ve laughed more in the past 24 hours than I have for the past 4 years and this quote prompted one of those sessions, so I get to “Like” this.

It changed here too last night — we had a little rain, and there’s apparently more to come today! Yay! Temps dip to 70’s!(wonder why I thought forgottenman was in OKC!)

Janet, when I first tried to register on WordPress as “forgottenman” I found the name was already taken. Since my original plan was to use the blog as an adjunct to my profile on OKCupid, I stuck “okc” to the front. Yeah, easy to see how many would presume I’m in Oklahoma City.

We do end up with some crazy names for some crazy reasons (I had recently retired from SallieMae, call letters SLM). I need to stop making assumptions!
