A Few Quick Notes 543

-Yesterday, after hours and hours of overcast skies punctuated with periods of light rain, we finally got the downpour that had been indicated by the skies. Of course, the downpour didn't last all that long, but at least it was accompanied by some thunder.

Today we had grey skies but have, at least so far, avoided rain. Maybe more amazingly, we even managed to have brief period of blue skies this evening.

-It seems that my friend Greg was able to find mention online of the tie about which I posted earlier today. It seems that at least one of these ties has been somewhat recently sold for $76, about $74 more than I paid. Of course, this site doesn't really provide much information about the tie or what its origins are.

-Last night Jeannette and I watched a few episodes of the 1980s British sitcom Yes, Minister. What we have both found amazing about the show is how relevant many of the issues dealt with are to contemporary society. When watching the show it is almost hard to believe that it is 30 years old.
