Bye-bye, Missouri.
Finally. Three weeks of icky sticky Missouri swamp air was pushed out by normal desert air.
The fight to expel the invader was dramatic. Yesterday featured several waves of Missouri-style thunderstorms. When the last storm swept out, clear air was instantly revealed behind it. You could almost see the hand of God snatching the filthy blanket away, leaving bright dry coolness.
After three weeks of warm miserable sleepless nights with a constant threat of lightning and thunder, this morning is delightfully cool and crisp.
Good riddance, midwest swamp. I knew you only too well for 40 years, and the reunion wasn't any fun. ¶ 5:19 AM
