I am sitting right under a dividing line between rain and clear skies. To the north it is sunny and clear, I can see the blue sky. To the south it is dark and rainy looking. Temperature is around 40. Every day is a new weather experience in Michigan. Rarely do we get two days in a row of the same stuff.

Now where is it that it is about 80 degrees every day, sunny 6 days a week and a little rain on the seventh. No need for money, all of the food you need growing all around you and you never age? :L44:

That's good, we are ready for it.

Yep, it's the same with Oklahoma...if you don't like the weather, wait about 5 minutes...lol. I'm not sure why the plains are so much different than the rest of our state. My friend lives in the northeast part of the state, and they usually have a milder climate than we do in the southwest corner...jet streams I guess. They're in hill and tree country, and we're just on the flat land...lol.

My brother lived down your way for awhile, in Lawton. He said that the thunder storms that came across the plains were terrible. He could watch those storms come across the plains and just knew they were going to be something else. He was glad to get back in Michigan, where you can't see them coming like you can down there.

Yeah, they can look fierce, but that's what I love about them. Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things. The wind and the wind/cold/hot combined are the killers...lol. Feels like you're being sandblasted in the summer time :-P. Lawton's about 80 miles southeast of me. Was he military?

No the company he worked for, Goodyear, closed a plant in Michigan and moved it to OK.

Your storms are nothing like the fierceness of MI taxes. :L40:

Here is So Cal, it's the season when I need a little heat in the morning, but cooling toward the afternoon.

My thermostat (although it a fancy programmable one) still requires that I manually switch it between heating and cooling modes, which is a drag twice a year. At one time of the year you are cold in the morning, and the other time you are too hot.

I hear that there are fancy thermos that will do this switch all by themselves. A friend of mine has one, and I'm thinking about upgrading my system (in my copious free time).

There ya go...rubbin it in....:L14:. I know what that weather is like. I lived in San Diego for a couple years. If I could take So Cal climate and just relocate it to Oklahoma except for maybe a month of winter and a month of summer, I'd figure this was paradise!

(Do you really have copious free time? Economy okay?)

LOL..

No..no.. I'm not trying to "rub" anything in. I'm just a complainer (so to speak).

And no.. I don't have any free time. My former boss (who I have worked for since 1988) is now a fellow contractor for the new company that I have been working for since this December. And he still thinks that he can tell me what to do - LOL.

But he is a good and close friend of mine. I don’t know how I am going to get him to accept the fact that he is not my boss anymore.

I've been in that situation. The best approach is the direct approach. "Hey I love you, man. You are a dear friend. But your not my boss any more." Worked for me.

It usually shocks them at first. Then the AHA moment....

Where's that good weather, Joe. We are suppose to dip down in the teens tonight, maybe even in the single digits. And it's cold and rainy today.

Bible Study went really good last night, we covered the first half of Acts 15.

Well, we are supposed to cool back down to the 40's and then next week around wednesday shoot up to the 60's and maybe hit 70 by April 1st.

You Michiganites must have just ticked off the Almighty...:L55:

Get it right, we are Michiganders. Man what an insult. :L39:

And we did tick Him off, I'm sure. Our, so called, representitive was one of the deciding votes for the Healthcare bill that has an abortion clause for unwanted babies health. What kind of healthcare is that? He is now receiving death threats and hiding out in Upper Michigan. And our governor was campainging hard for Obama's agenda. I can't imagine that our liberal state is high on the "must get some blessings list" of the Almighty. No wonder we are getting bad weather.
