Weather Weirdness

I promised myself I wouldn't write an entry about weather. Too mundane, too small-talkish, too who-really-gives-a-crap. But after last night, I just can't hold off. The weather has been weird. It's June and for the last week (two weeks?) we haven't seen 100 degrees. It's been in the 90's - the low 90s - since around Memorial Day! And it's been breezy. Coolish and breezy. I've had the doors and windows open more often than not! And the pool? The water hasn't yet reached 80 degrees. It's been a bracing/refreshing 75ish - which I love, but most others don't - and that NEVER happens in June. None of this ever happens in June! I love it, it's beautiful, but it's weird.

But the weirdest was last night. It was incredibly windy, and I kept checking outside to make sure that my umbrellas hadn't ended up in the pool or taking flight into a window (or javelining someone a la The Omen). They hadn't, but I kept hearing suspicious noises as if things were flying around and hitting things, so I kept getting up to check. I couldn't sleep, I was awake anyhow, so no big deal. Anyhow, around midnight, my home alarm went off! Loud!

I was more than a little freaked out about this. Just the other day an alarm rep had come around trying to sell systems because "there have been a few break-ins around here lately." So I get up and decide to go check wtf was going on. My alarm was blaring, and then it started talking "back door, back door, back door" so I knew where to check. Ok, the wind was so strong it blew my back doors open. Weird/freaky/cool!

Guess monsoon season is starting a little early this year?
