Here Comes the Rain Again....

Here Comes the Rain Again....
Fuck me, I love Annie Lennox.



Well, we are sitting here under a severe storm warning. Unusual for this time of the year, but not unheard of. I am listening to the distant rolling thunder and wondering if I should batten down the hatches or just not trip on it and go watch the Harry Potter marathon and watch the lightning show from the comfort of my bed. Decisions, decisions.
Such tawdry plans for a Saturday night, eh? There was once a time in my life where I would be dining with friends at this hour, making plans for the shenanigans to come later. There are times I somewhat miss it, the excitement, the laughter shared with friends, the drunken debauchery, but overall I am pretty content to be a house mouse, even if it is a trifle boring most days.
So, I am thinking of going geocaching. There are tons of listed caches in my area, a couple of them in places I haven't really explored all that much. They let you know when a particular cache is in a challenging terrain, which gives me something to work up to. I try not to be a 'goals' kind of person, as most of my life I have been more of a 'wing it' sort, but lately I rather like setting small accomplishable goals for myself. ( I still have it in my mind that I am going to tackle the Appalachian Trail before I die, because I am an optimist. I want to see it before they run that god forsaken pipeline through it. )
I have less that squat to blog about tonight.
Sooo...
It looks like Harry has won the coin toss. I swear I have seen this set of movies and read the books at least a hundred times, but this series is a lot like comfort food to me. It takes me back to when my own were young and the fun of discovering the wizarding world and the wondrous imagination of
Ms. Rowling. What an amazing tale she wove. She challenged young readers while still keeping the books easy to follow and understand. Oh to be so talented.

Leave me a comment and tell me what kind of wild and wanton adventures you had tonight. Let me live vicariously!

 I just got back from western NC, not far from the AT. When I was young we used to go daytripping, "walking" on it on a part that passed through a campground. Go for that plan, my mom has a friend who's 70 and has hiked it a few times... now she's an "angel" on the part that passes thru the western NC/northern GA section.

There is a section of it that runs through the mountain that lies between my mother's house and my sister's house that I have ventured into a little bit, but not very far. And it was years ago when I was much younger and much more spry lol. I have wanted to hike it since I was a kid, but just have never found that hiking buddy to tackle it with me. I won't trust myself to go alone there are a few apex type predators in those hills and I am slow moving, the construction in and around the surrounding mountains are driving the black bears further and further into that area as well. (I do still have hopes of doing at least half the trail, probably in sections.)

 Ha! I got home yesterday after 16 hours of travel from Lisbon. I watched one episode of Outlander and was in bed by 8 pm.

OMG, but you were in Lisbon! That deserves a good night's sleep and hopefully some wonderful dreams.

 There's a big storm heading this way as Ophelia seems to be lost! It's time to batten down the hatches. A term not used that often in good old Blighty.
You say Harry has won the toss? Well, I was tossing myself off on Friday night


wildnwanton replies on 10/16/2017 7:55 am:
From what I am seeing Ophelia is being a right bitch about it as she makes landfall, stay safe my friend!
Tis' a pity you are so far away...we could have tosses one another as the dulcet tones of Severus Snape murmured in the background.

 Watched a marathon of un aired TV Superheroes Pilot shows...Yeah...They weren't picked up by the Networks for very good reasons...Some were laughable...Others cringe worthy...The Wonder Woman being the most cringe worthy...Elizabeth Hurley as the Villainess was kinda hot though...Never got into H.P....Did get into H.P. Lovecraft though...Perfect for this time of year...Going to view The Lair Of The White Worm on All Hallows Eve this year...Lesser known tale by Bram Stoker...Excellent movie...Love that Tube of You for lazy days...

 I saw you guys were really under the gun yesterday.

Much less extreme here, though the rains did arrive just in the perfect time to give me an excuse to abandon the yard chores, and go watch college football.

Would you believe most of it cut and went around us on two sides. We got one downpour and a good light show and that was all there was too it here.

 A storm with lighting and thunder sounds like great ambiance for the Potter films.

Harry does tend to go well with a storm.
