A New School & A Big Storm

The new Louisa County High School opened its doors to the faculty yesterday and the long wait, 3 1/2 years in pods/trailer, lived up to the expectations; WOW! Expansive, gleaming, lots of natural lighting through massive windows, the new car smell in an entire building (but really noticeable in the theatre), long views, color coordinated, and full of smiling, excited teachers and staff. The excitement has not worn off much on day two, but we do have a lot to do to get ready for open house next Monday and the first day of school Wednesday week. Still lots to do but it sure nice to be getting ready in a brand new building, lots of positive energy, flowing everywhere.
In Earth news, it's hot and still not too humid here in Virginia with a couple of pop up showers (see the photo below of one 50 plus miles off to the east from the new school. I haven't checked on quakes (none here), volcanoes get updated tomorrow and the waning gibbous moon makes for bright skies in the middle of the night, and lingers into the morning sky. A recent wander on the big planet intersected with too many spider webs, a couple of squirrels and little else, it's too hot for most creatures to be out and about at this time of day; dusk and nightfall will bring out the crowds. Tomorrow is forecast to be a bit cooler as today's front settles just to our south but that same front will get pushed slowly back north, into the Old Dominion for Thursday and Friday and while temperatures will stay in the 80's the rain chances will rise and most places will likely get wet.
All that is predicted to be gone by Saturday making for another dry, cooler weekend. What ever the weather, get out for a bit and wander, today on Earth.
Looks like no storm shot, usual bad verizon service...
