We Talked About the Weather . . .

The Weather

Everyone talks about the weather, but we did more than that. Plenty of folks brought cool links to share. We’ve got them all right here.

Who Says We Don’t Like to Talk about the Weather?

Tornadoes were the star of the show until late, late, in the 300s. Then Cat and Rodney each told a compelling story about a wild fire. Beyond can you guess who was the one who woke up with a cat and new kittens? Who was the one who decided to help us name a new business>

The Mic Is On: Let’s Talk About the Weather!

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Let’s Share Weather Stories. . .

We might talk about

  • Weird weather stories
  • Weather we love to experience
  • Weather that’s beautiful
  • How weather got in our way
  • How weather saved the day

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

It’s always a good topic – ever changing. We’re talking about weird weather stories. What about the time we sat in the car waiting for the rain to stop? And the time we were on a road trip and… Do you remember when we were camping and…

Oh, and bring a link to share.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Just Like the Very First Time Only Different

Here we were back again on Open Comment Night with one long, long, long, long, long page of comments. It was somethking like that very first night when that afternoon I had put the sign only because I saw the picture of the microphone in my files on my computer. It was just like that because we had no paged comments.

It was just like that except

we have a new design

and we had about 2 times the comments this time

and people came who we’re not around that first night.

Joe was here. Joe is our open comment nite hero.

Some one bright shining star broght the link we suggested.

Contrary ones brought other cool links instead. This time let’s do some links with some context.
