Nice. I took as many meteorology course in college as I could. They filled my 'science' requirements, didn't stink like chemistry and involved looking at clouds.

We called these spent thunderstorms 'anvil heads'. Naturally, there was no mention of Vulcan. Myth is the unacknowledged root of science.

Meteorology is a useful subject to study. Every day has weather, wherever you go.

John Ruskin said, “[T]here is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” I'm going to try to remember that next time it's 32° and raining with a good stiff wind.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
