Wordle Weather

During the past week I've spent a lot of time and energy complaining about the weather here in Homer.  And here's why:

Brad and I talked pretty much every day about going home, but here's the weather forecast for Denver / Boulder / Eldorado Canyon for today -- the usual July weather:

 

So going home wasn't the solution either.  Sigh. 

To amuse myself while indoors and in my pajamas, I caught up on what my friends were blogging, and found Wordle, which is this fantastically diverting and entertaining little website, courtesy of Ryan, that made my delicious tagcloud into art:

And another scintillating version with the same color palette, but with the words oriented mostly vertically instead of mostly horizontally:

And yet another version, with a radically different orientation and font and color palette:

And another one with the same font and color, but with half vertical and half horizontal:

Fascinating, isn't it?  I could go on, but I won't.  You should try it for yourself now.

The good news is that the sun is shining enough for me to stop goofing around and start my summer reading.  I've read a book each day this week, which is a more typical Alaska summer reading pace, and I have every intention of doing a summary of summer reading post.  Just as soon as I get out of these pajamas.

Hey Amy,

Yesterday ten (10) people were struck by lightning in Boston - unbelieveable! We have been so plagued by Biblically-scary storms that pop up with psychedelical levels of rain, thunder, lightening, and even hail sometimes.

For some reason, this last has caused me to throw caution to the wind and join "The Biggest Loser" at my gym. If I'm smaller, perhaps I am less likely to be struck by a bolt from the blue.

Hope all is well with you, Brad, and the dogs.

Best,
JAMc
