IBM's weather predicted no rain today, but 75 temps. From the morning on, the air felt like rain was coming anyway. I kept looking up the predictions, on two websites, Accu-weather my favorite. They joined the noping with IBM.
Sassy got her bath, unwillingly. I was writing and grading and answering email much later, when we seemed to be having loud machinery or construction going on. I looked out into the dark as a very rough thunderstorm broke loose with lightning, winds, and - a few minutes later - a Moliner asking on FB if I was OK.
That was stranger than reading about the KJV and finding a quotation from my Notre Dame classmate from 41 years ago. "No, not that Timmer!" Serious search - yes twas that Timmer. He went from ND's doctoral program to a teaching job in Pella, Iowa (yes, the windows, but what about classical Greece?). He stayed there 37 years and received an endowed chair.
He introduced himself at ND as being from the Christian Reformed Church. I asked, "True Dutch Reformed?" He and his wife lit up - "You know the history?" I knew they were the conservative counterpart of the Reformed Church in America. I wanted to turn from the computer and say, "Dave and Joy! You remember them from ND?"
