I think I've already written about hearing the phrase, "if you don't like the weather, just wait ten minutes and it will change" in almost every place we have travelled, I had never heard that expression until I moved to Colorado in 1972, and from what I encountered there I believed it was a condition unique to that state. But with our exposure to so many places over the past 40 plus years we have heard the expression and witnessed its implementation constantly. Colorado is not unique in its changing and changeable weather.
Arkansas has its own pattern because of its position in the bullseye of fronts from the west and moisture from the south. This week we have encountered almost everything but outright winter weather. On Tuesday we "played" in a downpour and had intermittent showers until yesterday when it turned hot and humid-er with the forecast for high 90's and virtually no chance of rain for the upcoming week. I have been fighting a cough and cold and between the hot outside, the air-conditioning inside and wet clothing from either rain or perspiration, it has been a chore to keep from getting sick. But, like battling the critters, I am determined to overcome this obstacle as well. The television is full of reports of flooded roads, washed out bridges, flash-flood warnings and even a tornado to the west of us. Time for another pill and then out of the air conditioned comfort of our coach to the feels like 93 outside. We'll see what it's like ten minutes from now.
