Sheila and Whip

 It is said if you do something consistently for 21 days it will become a habit.  This morning I no longer have guests but I still unloaded the dish washer, started up the roomba, and put in a load of wash before breakfast.  Not bad things to incorporate as permanent changes.  I'm not sure about my other new habit of having dessert w/ breakfast but I've got leftover cobbler, cupcakes, and birthday cake to finish up somehow.  This afternoon I heard thunder.  Radar predicted the storm would skirt around us. Decided I and the dog should take a walk.  The only way I know of to influence storms is to either leave a load of clothes outside on the line or to get caught out on a walk.  Maybe that's how the Native American's got the idea of doing a rain dance - a bunch of people partying outside is like a magnate for stormclouds.  Anyway, that did the trick and we got 3/8".
