August 24 – sunlight, bright, clear, loud

sunlight, bright, clear, loud
world in motion, spinning round
new day, same old way

There is a quality to the sunlight down here in Georgia.

It’s a reoccurring theme in these notes.

It is brighter.

It is clearer.

It is stronger.

It is, some how, loud, in its brightness.

Being in it, seeing it, waking up to it, makes you feel better just for its being there.

It starts shining bright every morning.

The same and always different.

Always new.

May 5 – Thundery Rain Chance

Thundery Rain Chance
Heard on Brit weather report
Spot on for Georgia

Actually I heard this years ago and continue to hear on the weather from London listening to ClassicFM at work.

Since first hearing it, I have been petitioning my good friend, Chesley McNeil at 11Alive to use it here in the United States as it is perfect for the weather the we are having right now.

I am not sure about ‘Bucket Lists’ as I see them as being somewhat limiting in scope, but I would die a happy man if I can get Chesley to adopt the use of ‘thundery rain’ in his forecast.

March 6 – Sunny South?

Sunny South? Freezing!
March is often a cruel joke
Wet, Muddy, Cold, Mean

From the 1972 movie, Jeremiah Johnson;

Jeremiah Johnson: Would you happen to know what month of the year it is?

“Bear Claw” Chris Lapp: No, l truly wouldn’t. l’m sorry, pilgrim.

Jeremiah Johnson: March. Maybe, April.

“Bear Claw” Chris Lapp: March maybe. l don’t believe April.
Winter’s a long time going. Stays long this high.
March is a green, muddy month down below. Some folks like it. Farmers mostly.
