      Yesterday I finished the book Wilder Weather, which was a pleasant weave of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s narrative descriptions of the world around her with the and of the Great Plains in her day.

      The overarching theme is one of the importance of narrative telling and also the changes that have occurred over the past 170 years or so due to .

        Summer Storm

        (Description In AltText)

        This is a high contrast black and white photo in landscape format of three raised gantry cranes in the foreground with large and developing storm clouds in the background. Long Beach, California (2015).

In the foreground are the three brilliant white giant gantry cranes (large cranes on the dockside used to load and unload shipping containers on and off container ships). One crane is in the lower left corner, its raised boom nearly reaching the top of the photo. The next crane is slightly to the left of centre, again, it's boom nearly touching the top of the image. The third crane is slightly to the right of centre and is either smaller or further away from the camera, the boom only rising to a little over the half way up level in the photo. Each crane sits on four legs extending upwards ten or more metres before there is a hinged boom that can be raised to allow a container ship to dock or lowered parallel to the ground enabling the shipping containers to be raised from the dockside, moved sideways over the ship and lowered onto or below the deck. In this photo the booms are raised upwards at an angle of about sixty degrees by means of cables fixed to the end of the booms, then to a stout 'A' frame like structure on top of the crane and then down to winches located in a large light grey corrugated enclosure stretching across under the 'A' frame. In the distance, perhaps thirty km away is a line of large developing cumulonimbus clouds. Larger on the left side and sloping downwards towards the right. The clouds are mostly a bright white with only a few grey areas adding to the contrast in the image. The clouds extend upwards from the base of the photo to just below the top. The cloud tops are, at a guess, around seven to ten thousand metres above the ground. The larger cloud on the left has the look of a giant cauliflower. Above is a clear and cloudless sky rendered jet black. 

The storms are viewed from the Port Of Long Beach looking east towards the San Gabriel mountains, which the storms are building up against.

                        Hey tech friends and weather geeks.
                        Anyone have recommendations for a home weather station that doesn't send your data out?
                        Indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity are preferred. If it has a air pollution sensor that would also be nice.
                        Yes I am looking at analog, but I'm curious what digital options exist.
                        It would be interesting to have some kind of weather station for wind/rain type stuff, but all the ones I see report to Amazon/Google

I’m seeing lightning every few seconds, and have been for around half an hour now. It seems like it’s been constant and it’s only a matter of time before it passes over my area.

                                      Then maybe it’ll cool down a few degrees? That’d be nice.

                                        Good morning tooters. Around 9c when I woke up this morning & it will be the same daily temp of 16c as it’s been for the last two days. Still very grey & overcast with more rain to come this afternoon. I was very glad when that storm finished late last night & I was able to have a last check of the back yard to reassure myself all was good & no water came in under the back garage door. I don’t even think the rain was as fierce nor as fast as those other rain events I’ve had. It did mean I was able to get to go to bed & sleep unstressed. It always feels worse when it’s dark.
                                        I had a lovely few hours out in Albury yesterday with my friend, we had coffee at the Myer centre & then went for a wander, window & op shopping. I didn’t buy anything at all except except the coffee. It was just so good to be outside doing something & the rain held off until we got home. I also dropped off half a dozen books to a street library & took 2 out for myself. I love street libraries. The pictures were taken down a laneway towards the Myer complex.
                                        I have to pack to head to Chiltern this morning but don’t plan to get there until around lunchtime. It’s just for 4 nights & I will take a couple of my frozen meals & soup with me. That way I don’t need to do much cooking.
                                        Wishing you all a lovely , stay warm & dry & I do hope for some sun 🌞 for us all today 🌻.
