We had no formal plans for today other than to go shopping at the nearby Trader Joe’s. We were successful in that we got our shopping done but the rest of the afternoon we enjoyed making food items with phyllo dough and then eating almost every unhealthy bit. It was great.
The weather man two days ago was correct when he said there was a nasty storm headed for the Tucson area. When we left the park towards T Joe’s, there were gusty winds of about 20 miles per hour. They were stronger when made our return trip and by about 3:00 PM they were raging along at about 55 or more. As the wind speed increased, we were able to watch the approaching cloud bank of the storm marching in from the west. Right before the rainstorm hit, the wind started to diminish but not before knocking over my satellite antenna and our lightweight sewer pipe.
Once the rainstorm started, it was plain that it was open for business. Happily, our recent repairs to our trailer made it dry, warm and cozy for the nice woman and elderly geezer living therein. The outside temperature started to plummet soon after the rain began and ultimately dropped down to nearly freezing around midnight.
