'Tis the season
'Tis the season
fall/winter storm season, that is. My hood this morning:

Re: 'Tis the season
Yikes! What a terrific picture!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: 'Tis the season
Funny thing, its been relatively warm (55-60) - we had tropical-like thunder and buckets of rain last night (you must have had it too). I don't have my heat on yet!

Re: 'Tis the season
Don't those buildings get a little erm... salty?

Re: 'Tis the season
Yes. If it dries like that, I've seen my house sparkle in the sunlight (kind of like a vampire).
It's raining again though, so most of that salt wash will get rinsed away.

For a minute there I thought you'd moved to Porthleven Guin!!

No frost here yet. Lots of rain and thunder boomers last night.
Re: 'Tis the season
Monsoon last night...then Liz and I got to work in the rain today. Blarg.

Beautiful town and pics Gob! Waves like that (they were 18 feet or so yesterday afternoon), are becoming more and more regular. Once they get over 15 and the winds gust over 40, it gets messy fast.

Re: 'Tis the season
Thanks Guin, Porthleven is just down the road from our house in Cornwall.
The village our house is in copped this in the same storms...
The cliffs those waves are breaking over, Pedn-men-du are over 100 foot high.
The light on the lighthouse (Longships Lighthouse) is 35 metres above the sea.
Luckily our house is set back from the coast and well protected.

Wow, it's so weird realizing that in 100 years those villages will be gone, consumed by rising sea levels.
Oh wait, there is no such thing as global climate change. I forgot.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
