FUNNYACCENT

Strange

There is nothing strange at all about sudden climate shifting. But, I still felt strange when I left my work place earlier this afternoon. The cloudless sky spread as far as my eyes could see, bright and clear, but the sun was invisible. Where was it? How could I not see the sun when there was no a patch of cloud in the sky? 67 degree in the middle of summer that made me feel strange.

Whatever it was, I am grateful that the heavy rain the weather man forecasted earlier this morning had shifted somewhere else.

Kindhearted

I had whined and complained a few times here of bad and rude drivers on the road. I should share my fortunate experience with fine, sensitive and kind hearted  drivers too because there are many of them on the streets.

I'm grateful that everyday I come across these drivers on my way to work. Many of them make an effort slow down when they pass me on a narrow road where there is no bike path. thank you, thank you, thank you.

Something to Talk About.

Summer this year is not that bad as the Bostonians had predicted earlier. It is hot and humid on some days, but the previous years the summers were hot and humid too. The first day of summer this year the temp. was 97, the next day the mercury climbed a little higher to 99 and on the third and fourth day it slipped two notches down.

The interesting part I discovered was, almost everyone that I talked to-strangers on the subway, in the line at supermarkets or at the bank, friends, and colleagues at work, they weren't apprehensive at all. The way they talked about it reminded me of the excitement we had  when we were children. Remember how excited we were the night before family trip? That kind of excitement that I am talking about.

Bostonians love to talk about our unpredictable weather. Come winter, spring, summer and fal, there is always interesting topic to talk, complain, whine and bitch about. This is the part that intrigues me because we never get tired of talking about weather.
