Talk about a full bag

WOW, what a weather day in Southern California!!!! Contrary to what Albert Hammond sang in the 1970’s it does rain in Southern California. There was hail, snow, thunder and lightning, and even a tornado touched down. All of this cold weather activity just a couple days of it being over 100 degrees. I was scheduled to be in attendance at the Lake Elsinore Storm game as they hosted the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Well, with all the crazy weather in So Cal the game was rained out and the Storm/Quakes will play a double header on Saturday to make up for the game. Meanwhile, 14 Miles to the Northeast, there was a very crazy storm going on. Lightning (which to those who know me well, know I HATE!) and thunder was going on. Then came hail, and more hail, and more, and more. I will post a picture later today so that you can understand what kind of storm I’m talking about. Once we left my friend’s apartment complex it felt like I was back in Denver driving in snow, just not as cold. So even though I along with everyone in the party that I was in had called the Storm’s front office to find out if the game had been rained out or not, and we were told the umpires would make the decision at 7:00. Well, we got to the stadium around 6:40 and cars were already leaving the facility. So our party went down the road to the IHOP in Murrieta and had dinner. We enjoyed dinner and then went back to the apartment. Once leaving the apartment, my friend that works in the Quakes front office (who had gotten us tickets to the game) called me after his radio program and he told me that there was a tornado just 7 miles from the apartment complex. I’m glad I found this out AFTER it had happened. Had I have known about it while it was happening, I’d be totally freaked out.

As far as other things, the English instructor did not change my grade on my beloved term paper. She did give me a print out of my grades and she insists that if I rewrite one of my earlier papers she will give me a passing grade for the class. As far as other things are concerned, I’m just 10 days (as of the posting) away from freedom for the summer.
