Sunday July 14th 2024

Today was another variation on the standard Florida summer weather theme. The day started bright and sunny allowing the temperature to climb into the mid nineties quickly. Around mid day the clouds started to arrive. Today the sound of thunder began early in the afternoon. It was coming from all directions of the compass, but none of it seemed to be very close. Then, as evening arrived, so did the rain. Heavy rain fell for more than an hour, but there didn’t seem to be any thunder and lightening. From there the weather transitioned into a lightening show on the southern horizon, followed by more rain here on the roof of my RV home. It has been a wet second half of the day.

This wasn’t a very active day. I got up around 8AM and turned on the air conditioner and the TV. Then I went back to bed watching the overnight developments in the shooting at the Trump rally. It didn’t take long before I fell asleep again. All of the news coverage was over by the time I woke up again.

The highlight of my day was an abbreviated walk around the RV park before the rain moved in. The number of empty sites increased today. This is the end of the two week period around the holiday. The park still has a good number of occupants, but with close to 900 sites it looks empty in some areas. I think a couple of areas are intentionally left empty for normal use, but may be assigned upon request.
