Take Cover!

It's THAT time of year here.  Where's here Victor?  The Midwest.  It's an annual event, and it ain't got squat to do with climate change, global warming, AI created, that.  I personally think, wise guys at NOAA, in concert with local and national weathermen and women, sprinkle some kinda magic crap into the atmosphere in February - thereby creating Spring, early Summer torrential downpours, winds that blow ya sideways, windshears, squall lines (MISOGYNIST!  AM NOT, said 'squall lines' not squaw lines. Geez.

They (NOAA and weather folks) do this insteada starting GoFundMe's.  Victor? Why would they need GoFundMe's?  Well, in the hierarchy of the newsroom, the pay for weather dudes takes at least 3rd place behind anchors and sports reporters.  All of 'em, talk about their pets, and they have these funny ha ha names like Stormy, Breezy, Windy, Sunny, Rainbow, yada - but, due to economics, they ain't gots no way to pay for shots, flea meds, uppity style dog, cat food.. so they create all these storms, so, they'll work overtime (their GoFundMe) where they put in so many hours (compared to normal) they actually put dress pants on under their blazer, as opposed to "I'm going golfing after my three hour shift so I'm wearing my khaki shorts underneath."

Of course I jest, tornadoes are really nothing to make light of. so, I apologize.

Danger Will Robinson.   That was said exactly one time on Lost In Space. Trivia, twas said by the robot B-9).  Similar versions (Danger danger..  Warning.. yada) were said often, but adding Will Robinson happened just once.

Victor,  I'm lost.

Me too.

TAKE COVER!  So, does this mean, "Linus, get your blanket, get the hell outta here?"  Mebbe.  Of course it means the weather is conducive to potential destruction - get to the basement, shelter. or, at the least, the room within the house with the most number of walls around you.

Sometimes, "Take cover" just means getting the hell away from it all.  An argue with mate, boss, friend, coworker...    Take cover (like, a blanket).. go find a creek, beach, lake, river, country pasture - have some my time, quiet time.  Calgon time. 

Sitting peacefully in Nature, yields lowered blood pressure, all the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, whatever they are... and sometimes, gloriously, nap happens.

There once was a blonde (VICTOR!  MISOGYNIST!  AM NOT! I never even said if male or female!)... There once was a blonde lady, aye yai yai, who heard "TAKE COVER" so she did... to the levee by the river.  As she placed her blankie down, plopped atop it, she noticed a snake, all coiled up, ready to strike, a few paces away.  She peered a bit more, trying to see if the snakes head was triangular or more oval, then she remembered she couldn't remember why she was, so, she somewhat panicked, hollered at her twin, blonde sister who was on the bank of the other side of the river.. HEY! HOW DO I GET TO THE OTHER SIDE? .... silence, then, YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE!  Victor, you misogynist, we've all head that twelve times before.  Make it thirteen then, bite me.

Where are some of your favorite (in nonthreatening weather) places to "Wanna get away?" from it all?   Easy chair, book?  Hobby?  1,000 piece puzzle?  Handheld walk with 'honey'?  Country drive?

I personally enjoy, the jacuzzi, the sauna, a kid's ballgame.. a seat on a bench at the Square of our old downtown, a nap in my car at the City Park, many mems... driving by places I, we lived..  or, "smooched a gal at that house", or, "wanted to smooch a gal at that house, never did"... you know.

Sometimes, putting my phone up for an hour is a pretty nice, take cover, take a break, relax.

Victor?  Yeah?  Maybe you could take a break from your blog?  Sounds like sometimes ya needta.

Right, right, you're bloody well right, you got a bloody right to say........  

So................. Take Cover.............. or, as B-9 or BR549, whatever his name was, said, Danger Will Robinson. 

Try to enjoy life, weather you want to or not.

Love, Victurd
