No rain yet

It is after 7 am and the rain hasn’t arrived yet.  The clouds are here and there was a tinge of redness in the sky where I would normally see the sun rising.   It brings to mind the children’s rhyme:

Red Sky at Night Sailors Delight

Red sky in the morning

Sailors take warning

I did a search on it and found this article (or website) explaining the weather proverb.  It is very interesting. 

The news reports are covering the storm preparations and providing lists of shelter locations, schools and businesses that will be closed and the length they will be closed.

I am checking all the networking sites to see how the others are dealing with it.  They don’t seem to be in a panic-well maybe one or two.  They are going on with life.

The news continues to share the possible scenarios that Sandy could take.  When Mom got up I had told her that many schools already announced they were canceling school.  She was confused to hear this as it isn’t supposed to hit until a day or two.  She says she may have to eat her words but we don’t know what could happen.  It could start tonight or it could fizzle we will just have to wait and see.

Mom has conceded that she may have more than her regular esophageal cough.  She has been coughing more (and it sounds different then before) and her voice is nasally.  I am hoping she won’t do much today and perhaps we will make a brief appearance at the Meet and greet this afternoon.

Well it is getting time for me to get ready for bingo and church.  I will chat with you later.
