Rainy and Cold August

It's been a wet couple of days. I don't think it's stopped raining all day. I suppose we need the precipitation ... it's a really good way to look at it.

The stormy weather put a damper on long weekend plans for many people around the province. I think the worst was the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose. The main stage collapsed during a rain and wind storm killing one lady. The concert weekend was cut short. Our neighbours were at the concert and saw the collapse ... pretty scary. I'm glad they made it home safe and sound but sorry someone lost their life. Weather and Mother Nature in general is very powerful.

I worked Monday which was the holiday. We were all tired as hell at work. The reason being a major thunder storm hit Calgary around 2:00am that morning and kept everyone up. The weather during the day wasn't good (cold and cloudy) so I didn't mind, in the least, sitting at work. The boys went out and played 18 holes of golf. Jacob said it was fine as long as he kept his toque on. Oh, cold enough for a winter hat! That sounds cold to me ... too cold for golf anyway.

This morning we woke up to rain again ... it had been raining all night long. The air temperature was perfect for sleeping and due to the lack of sleep I received the previous night I slept really well. I woke up feeling rested and had a good day at work. I'm working again tomorrow (Wednesday) and again on Friday. I have the weekend off, which will be nice. On Saturday Jacob is playing in the Junior's Club Championship ... that will be nice and hopefully, I will be able to see him start.

On the weekend there is also the possibility of having coffee with someone I haven't seen for a very, very long time. I'm not trying to get to excited about it either way because it hasn't been confirmed yet. But this looks like it's going to be a good weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
