Today's Daily Double is... weather with conviction!

called Mom for mother's day from a warm porch out in wine country. she still sounds like Carolina and it got me missing a proper Cary summer. the heat out here is dry and it just sits on you all day, no payoff. back home the heat builds and builds and then around five o'clock a big storm rolls in over the pines and dumps for twenty minutes, lightning and all, and you stand in the carport with a sweet tea and watch. out here the weather is polite, fog comes in, fog goes out. I picked it and i'd pick it again but sometimes ya miss weather that actually does something.

Mom sounded good. she asked about the boat and the dog, in that order (correct). told her the dog is perfect and the boat still floats. Al was reading in the shade next to me the whole call. pretty good sunday.
