*gasp*
The high today was about 73 degrees.
Yesterday was something else, though. Tornado warning all day long, with temps of around 88, 80% humidity, strong winds... I was seriously glad when the day was over, even though nature provided a spectacular display of lightning in the evening, which kind of made up for the unbearable weather and resulting unbearable moods of people all over.
Today started well enough, although I had my doubts when we stopped at Starbucks. We only go there about six times a week, so it's not surprising that my accent cannot be understood *snerk*. "One tall raspberry latte, please."
"One non-fat latte, right. Anything else?"
"No. One tall latte with a shot of raspberry syrup, please."
"Oh, I got ya! One tall latte with a shot of sugar-free syrup."
"No, no! One tall latte with a shot of raspberry, you know, the fruit raspberry."
"Yes, One latte with a shot of sugar-free."
"Erm, let me drive around. Don't make that latte just yet."
At the window: "Sorry, I had trouble hearing you. Must be a plane overhead."
No kidding. Starbucks is RIGHT in the flightpath, about 2 miles from the airport. It's not a novelty that planes fly at low height overhead, really.
"Okay, let's try again... A tall latte with a shot of raspberry syrup, please."
"A shot of what???"
Thankfully, one of the gals working there who know us came to the window and asked what the trouble was... So I placed the order (once. And she got it all right, too. Four different kinds of drinks. So I have a suspicion it wasn't me having trouble with speech.)...
On the way back, we stopped at Books-A-Million, and I discovered several new books in the "New Age" section *gasp*. They must have a new buyer in. There is hope yet, yay!
Tomorrow is self-defense and tennis day, but I have hope that on Sunday we'll get a chance to check out the woods for 'shrooms. Oh, that's wild mushrooms,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
robisonrocket, for eating. *giggles*
And just because I'm in sheep mode and you're all no doubt dying to find out my answers... ( Teh Meme )
