Stormy Day

Today another big weather system hit the coast. The ocean was agitated, the wind was up, and the rain came down. I finished a draft of a result today that maybe has a chance of going somewhere. I sent it to my collaborator and we'll see where we are after he reads through it. Laura made it to LA and hopefully will get a good night's sleep tonight at Emily's house before she goes to work tomorrow.

My neighbors had me over for lunch today. They made an excellent rice and lentil soup. We chatted while the storm blew. There was even thunder and lightning which they said they hadn't ever seen in the 12 years that they've lived here. By all accounts, the weather has been strange here this spring. Everyone blames the El Nino.

I went to the gym during a bit of a break in the weather and didn't get too wet. I'd planned to go to the grocery store, but decided I had enough food in the house to get me through another day. No doubt, lunch at the neighbors helped with that.

It was stormy at sunset, so no real sunset photo today, but an hour before sunset the sun found a hole in the clouds and lit up the town of Reñaca a few miles north of here.
