rain

it's raining today. we are currently under a weather watch, with a warning of over 2 inches of rain within 12 hours. now, that's a lot of rain for here, but i'm not sure if i would qualify it at weather watch worthy. there doesn't seem to be a lot of wind or lightning associated with the perilous precipitation, just the threat of 0.166 inches of rain per hour for the next half day.

nonetheless, being the properly prepared person that i am, i decided to build a fire in our humble wood burning stove downstairs, in case the impending rain happened to knock out all the electricity in our house... as our circuit breaker has the tendency to pop off on it's own anyways. that way, if the electrical did happen to go out, we could still wake up in a nice and comfy little house in the morning.

so that's our evening. not particularly dangerous or exciting. we just sat down on the couch downstairs, heather made a egg-nogg and rum drink for herself and an egg-nogg and RUM drink for me, we put our feet up to the fire and listened to the rain for a little while.
