Summer Breeze, Make Me Feel Fine (even if there's a tornado in there somewhere)

I am SO tired of winter. It almost dropped to thirty degrees thismorning down here in North Carolina. Comments welcome.

I recognize this road.  I think we got above 30 degrees today for the first time in weeks.  The difference between day and night temperatures has been only about 3-4 degrees.

My heart goes out to you, Lannie. I'm typing this while lying in my hammock and sipping a Pina Colada here in tropical Osaka. Your road in this picture is a real ghost highway; that little lighted rise at the end is just enough to launch the imagination.

I didn't realize Osaka was tropical, Jack.  Were they out of sake?

I'm afraid that was a very thin slice of lampoonery (delicious with a plum sauce, I might add). There are few cities with more depressing weather. A few flakes of snow actually fell yesterday but didn't stick around. If we actually did have a decent snowfall we'd have something we could bitch about to relieve the winter blahs at least temporarily. As it was we were just left flapping our arms, chilled to the bone. And as for sake, that silent ninja assassin, I'll take a pinna colada from my Hawaii days anytime.

Lannie, The image together with the title makes it happen. I feel the summer evening mood . Wonderful. The play with light and the leading lines are very subtle and magical.  Jana

Jack, it still sounds like a great place to be.

 

Maybe I can visit. . . during typhoon season.  (I've been in three hurricanes.  I should feel at home.)

Thank you, Jana!  I always love it when you love my stuff, since you do such great work yourself.
