Considering last night\’s forecast, it was a surprise that the sun was out this morning. I saw that clouds were building up towards the West, however; and I decided to skip the salvage store. It\’s some five miles away, after all; and I couldn\’t know how soon the weather might break bad. Thus I went to a store much closer to home; and I packed along the poncho just in case.

When I got out of the store the sun was still out; but the clouds were increasing. The wind was building up as well. In fact, for the last few blocks before I got home it was blowing pretty hard. If I had gone to the salvage store, I would have been fighting it for miles!

So now I\’m home, listening to the wind and expecting it to start pouring at any moment. It can be frustrating to change your plans because you anticipate bad weather; and then have nothing happen. Sometimes, though, you get it right. And then you can say, \”I\’m so glad I\’m not out there!\” That\’s the kind of surprise that I like!
