I promised photos yesterday, but the change of web host has made this an adventure. One that I'm still learning.
This photo was taken from the front porch about 6 pm CDT. The picture cannot convey the speed at which those clouds were moving. It was something to see.
About 11 pm CDT it was time to parade the grounds. Still not a whole lot going on. Wind is definitely picking up but the rain really has not started. Deciding this was a proper time for a cigar, Mad Oilman chose a Saint Luis del Rey. From Habana. The only reason I have this cigar is a bit of a story. I sent one of my employees on his first out of country trip. Amsterdam and Jebel Ali. He knew I like a cigar now and then and he purchased three of these Cubans for me. He didn't realize my hatred for the Castro regime and he also did not realize that a good chunk of the 'Cubans' in Europe are counterfeit. And even if they are Cubans, the current production out of Honduras and the Dominican Republic crush the turds Castro is selling today.
Not wanting to offend an employee with his heartfelt gesture, I put them away and rediscovered them today, during the dismantling of the house.
It was OK. Definitely not worth the money he paid for it. A bit bitter for a mild bodied cigar.
Well, I've digressed a bit, haven't I? This is a picture of the front porch at 11 pm CDT (cigar smoking is in progress).
Pretty barren. Imagine 15-20 tropical plants littering every rail and surface. That's typical. My living room is now a greenhouse with all of that greenness.
THe lights are now starting to flicker a bit. Power may be out soon. I'll take photos and hand write future experiences if this occurs for later posting.
