Hail Sunday in General

Odd weather. Perfect for a lazy Sunday. Alternating rain and sunshine. I knew the repeating heating and cooling would make for interesting afternoon. I was using my skills as a junior meteorologist learned in flight school.

Sure enough by late afternoon it was turning to thunderstorms. I took a nap (nothing like a nap during thunderstorms).

Then hail. We do not often get hail here. It wasn't big hail, more like Arborio rice sized hail. At almost 7PM it is still cycling between clear and raining like hell.

Behind me "Inception" is playing on the plasma. I've only half been paying attention. With a movie like that, I think straight out paying attention would be recommended.

I refer to movies I watched on the boat as "boat movies." We had two TV channels that played content repeatedly, but between schedules and drills it was almost impossible to watch a movie from beginning to end. All you could do was try to pick up the thread the next time it was played. To this day I have no idea what "The Matrix" is about. The same with "Dangerous Beauty" - although my radar lock on Catherine McCormack remains since '99.

She was the girl who played Mel Gibson's wife in Braveheart, and whose death started the ball rolling on Scotland's independence per the movie. She played a Venetian consort in Dangerous Beauty.

Then cut all her hair off, not wanting to be typecast as a "tragic, long-haired woman." I kinda liked her as a long haired redhead.
