15 April 2011 Forget March Beware the Ides of April


March claims Julius Caesar as its major victim

April has a few more notables to account for. Abraham Lincoln heads the list from 1865. Jean Paul Sartre died in 1980. And April is shaping up to be a random selector of otherwise unknowns as it launches a repeated series of spring storms across the central, southern, and eastern U.S. in 2011.

The squall lines are in place in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys to touch off a replicate of last Saturday’s storms, denoted by “Les Nessman” as “godless, atheistic, communist tornadoes.”

I don’t care about their religion, only their proximity, and arrival times.

The squall line has reached the Knoxville area at about 1230. there are no current severe weather warnings for the Cassi Creek region other than the well justified high wind warning that was posted yesterday. That should change as the thunderstorm and tornado watches are extended eastward.

I'm still fighting the software updates that began causing trouble Wednesday. Microsoft has managed to rival many of the great villains of history.

Dinner tonight is planned to be cheese burgers. I'm looking forward to dinner.

Shabbat Shalom.
