Knowing that we will shortly be in the 100s here; ANY cool morning is welcome!
Dreading summer!

Yes, Roland, that's a good description. I am just missing the sun. We are back to rain and dreary cloudy skies. Louise and I took a scenic drive to Hallowell yesterday and it would have been a whole lot more scenic with blue skies over our heads!

I know where the sun is. It's back here in Germany :). After one and a half week of rain and cloudy skies, the sun is shining bright again today.
Leslie, perhaps you sent it back across the Atlantic by accident, together with Robert? ;)

40 degrees here, and not supposed to go much higher.. It's been raining since yesterday afternoon, and will continue through tomorrow. It just seems obscene to me to have the heat come on in May, not to mention painfull in the purse..

Not as sunny as in this picture at Amsterdams Schipol Airport.

Wow, that pic is way cool 8).
Mine is not as cool, but the situation was when you experienced it first hand. Where I grew up, the US military had an airfield closeby. And there was a road actually crossing the runway. When you drove along the road it could happen that gates came down, just like if it were a train crossing. But instead of a train, a plane crossed the road right in front of your car :o.
The three upper arrows show the road crossing the runway. The arrow in the bottom left is where I lived.
When I was a kid, we played on the runway. Of course it was forbidden and we were shooed away by the army. But that didn't keep us from coming back again and again ;D.
Later, everything was secured with normal fences, then additionally with barbwire. And armed forces patroled the area. A few years ago the airfield was closed for planes and is now only used for helicopters.
