Better Late Than Never?

I have had some problems being able to post today, but apparently blogger.com is back in business. We had a nice rain earlier this morning into midday, with a tenth of an inch reported at the airport and almost 2 tenths at Felts Field in Spokane Valley. For most of us the rest of the day will be dry, but there will be a few very isolated showers into the evening. Tomorrow doesn't look as wet as today, but again, there will be some showers that pop up, and a few isolated thunderstorms will be rumbling around by evening. Thursday should be a little warmer than today, reaching the mid to upper 70s. A wave of low pressure will swing through later Thursday night into Friday. That will bring another batch of widespread showers to the area into Friday, and keep the weather mostly cloudy and cool. It still looks like dry weather returns for the weekend. Saturday should be partly sunny and cool for mid-August, highs in the low to mid 70s, and then Sunday mainly sunny and back to about 80 degrees.

This morning I played tennis with my regular Wednesday morning group, my wife Kay, daughter Beth, and our friend Les. Les is quite a bit better than the rest of us, but a couple of days ago he fell off of the roof of the shed that he has been building, so his play today may have been hindered. Always one to exploit any advantage that I can, Kay and I beat Les and Beth for the first time ever! It was a bittersweet victory though, as this is the last time for a long time, and maybe forever, that this group will play together. That is because Beth is going off to college, along with most of our life's savings, next week.
