First thing this morning, the database wasn't connecting so I couldn't post - that in itself didn't make as much difference, as I've been rather busy.
Add that to fatigue attributed to last night's parade of thunderstorms (following yesterday's parade of thunderstorms), culminating in a 5:00 AM tornado warning and sighting - as well as a bothersome (formerly worrisome) eustachian tube congestion that is temporarily causing high-midrange harmonics to detune in my right ear a quarter tone sharp - and we can fairly well put together a blogger who is taking a sixteen-hour hiatus. I'm sure I'll have something to contribute this evening.
Combination spoiler and teaser: I love thunderstorms only slightly less than I love photographing cumulonimbus clouds. Over the past month I've accumulated a healthy amount of cloud shots from my eighth-floor balcony, at different times of day and with varying precise meteorological conditions; I began scanning this past weekend and hope to complete a new photoblog - think "uBlog Foto" - within the next couple of weeks. Yes, it will be lots and lots of clouds. But you can't say no to look-alike shots of Bespin, now can you?
UPDATE: Divine Providence is obviously investigating the adage that it's never advisable to have "Too much of a good thing." Radar images at 4:30 PM EDT show a gigantic, red blob - practically with its own bow echo - bearing down on the Cleveland area. For another evening, the State of Ohio becomes a watch-warning checkboard.
