At the moment, "weather" is the equivalent to a hot poker in the eye and the news coverage on it is almost too much to endure. As with most things in life as it pertains to human nature, the need to beat to death the story of the moment is too much to resist (yes, I know its NEWS but must we beat ONE angle to death?) Rather than asking John Doe in the boat for the 100th time about how much money this flood will cost him, how about asking him if this weather event has revealed anything awe inspiring about his life? No question this is devastating and the losses are great - I have a hard time tolerating journalists who ask the obvious. It's difficult to consider that on some odd plane - all events, good and bad, are purposeful events. I would like to hear more on that angle. It might make watching the endless footage a bit easier to bear...
Beyond that, it's Thursday and I am finding myself strangely bored this evening. Plenty I could do around here, I suppose - but I seem to have an itch I cannot reach. (NO, Mike - I don't need the spray on-antifungal-antigreenass-icky eww hole-deodorant....!) Mark is in Des Moines tonight so I am unable to finish some landscaping projects at the moment. Shoveling rock probably isn't in Mayo Clinic's Handbook, "101 Things to Help Recover From Major Surgery." I have been painting a solar Lighthouse to put in the Rock Project - I will have to take a picture of it when I am done....and more about Mark to come. I will get to something about my life in time. I need to meander for awhile.... ;-) 
Instead, I guess this is a good time to step away from the screen and take the village idiots for a stroll. That usually reveals at least one light bulb moment! If it's anything noteworthy, I will be back to report.
