current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

I have just watched the video of Michelle Kwan, thank you for posting it.
I suppose I may have seen her before, but had not realised how popular she had been when she was on the ice.
I pulled up Wiki to read about her and found our own Christopher Dean (of Torvill and Dean fame) was one of her choreographers.
I am not really into sport of any kind, but will watch some of the Olympics. The only thing I watch on TV is golf.... strange, isn't it, as I have never played the game, but find the guy who commentates here in the UK has the most "peaceful and relaxing" voice!! lol He never gets excited like the football commentators - all screams and shouts - nah, not my scene at all!!
I watch Nascar and golf, because if I don't, I have no hubby on Sundays - lol! I get a kick out of the Nascar commentators' accents :) I was a fan of Formula 1 when I lived in Finland, so not that far fetched to watch cars racing. We never miss the Olympics. I love ice-hockey, but never watch it, just no time. When I lived in Spain, I went to lotsa soccer matches, my ex was a captain of a Madrid soccer team.
I practice Qigong, which is very similar to Tai-chi and enjoy it a lot.
The omgwe'reallgonnadie CMC 144 hrs - has been showing this for a couple of days, NGP hints same, GFS develops it but then dissipates it.
It's been forever since I've dropped by to say hello. Nice to see you out and about, here and there. Now that things have settled in my life a bit, I'm going to try to be a little more social!
I've been keeping an eye on that weather that's being discussed, mostly because I'd love to have the season's last hurrah come to Texas. No chance of that, I fear, but I'll still try. Texas-casting at its best!
Enjoy the weekend. I'm going to try to be creative-productive, once I've been house cleaning-productive. ;)
Takk for fine ord.
P.S. Jeg ville prøve å skrive på svensk, men du ville le. :)
I saw your wall post on FB this morning and you are right, we must have lunch someday.. Mondays are good for me..
It is ashame you are only about 45 mins north of me and we never get together!
but we will if not before the Holidays then soon afterwards!!!
Enjoy your Weekend!
Jeg visste ikke at du snakket norsk. Er du skandinavisk? Du skriver noen veldig interessante artikler selv. Jeg har besøkt bloggen din, men jeg husker ikke om jeg skrev en beskjed. Jeg er gammel som du vet. LOL. Det er vanskelig for meg å gå på bloggen nå. Alle argumenterer nå.
Min fars familie var svensk, fra syd for Stockholm. Jeg snakker ikke norsk. Jeg lærte å skrive litt når jeg hadde et college romkamerat fra Norge. Nå hjelper Google translate!
Jeg er bare glad for å se innlegget ditt. Jeg vet at mange igjen de viktigste blog - Jeg kan ikke klandre dem. Det er for mye dårskap der.
Hold deg godt! Gamle og kloke er bedre enn ung og dum!
{{Hi, Finn!}}
{{{HuriPoetFriend}}} - I did!
Thanks Sandi! Always a pleasure to see you :)
Gro, jag förstor inte vad du menar med:
”Hvert dyr som er tapt, kommer til huset vårt. De må vite noe.”
You two are chanllenging my brain... Men jag vet vad Gamle og kloke er bedre enn ung og dum! menar, och det är jag inte med Norsk, jag är gamle og dum - LOL!!!
Sorry, Finn. Dyr in Norwegian can mean animal. Hvert dyr some er tapt. Means "every animal which is lost, comes to our house. They must know something. In Norwegian we often place the pronoun before the noun. Instead of vårt hus, we write huset vårt, or sometimes huset til vårt. I understand every word you write in Swedish since I spent a lot of time there. I guess shore and I must write to you in English. Her Norwegian is perfect. I am quite impressed. My Swedish friends come to stay with us every years and they laugh at our accent. They thing we sing our words.
P.S. They do not use the word ni much in Swedish anymore, just du. Therefore, I am du to you. LOL Take care and you two have fun. It is a pleasure to speak to you in any language.
Shore, you are full of surprises!
Woody, cat ate your tongue or did you repent what you posted? lol Maybe the dot is just a sign you agree with Gro... If you don't know what he's talking about, DON'T AGREE he is a Viking! LMAO Good to see you and thanks for the nice comment earlier. Looks like we're quite close neighbors, only 45min apart :)
Jeg er dansk. Svenskerne og nordmændene har ødelagt en ganske god sprog. LOL Jeg kender Grothar ganske godt.
But Finland is officially a bilingual country (Finnish and Swedish) so I had had to learn Swedish. Haven't spoken it in over 40 years so you can see how rusted it is...
I tried learning Finnish, but it was much too difficult. I don't know how many languages Grothar speaks, but it is quite a bit. He got me to come on here and then left. He is quite a humorous fellow.
Gro left? Why? Oh noooo, just when we "met" 8(
I really do not know why he left. He just mentioned there was much trouble on the blog. Fighting and such. He is a very refined gentleman. We have never heard him talk ill of anyone. We live not far from him, but we have not seen him much lately.
Ok wab ;)
southeastern Palm Beach and northeastern Broward counties...
At 1224 am EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
that the heavy rain has moved north of the warned area.
However... light rain continues and roads likely continue
flooded as it will take time for the water to drain.
Locations in the warning include but are not limited to Mission
Bay... whisper walk... Delray Beach... Boca Raton... Parkland...
and Coral Springs.
Widespread street flooding has been reported from Delray Beach
south to Parkland and Coral Springs. Extensive and significant
street flooding has been reported with too many roads to name...
along with stranded vehicles.
Driving is not recommended across the warned area early this
morning.
Coral Springs Police Department continued to indicate over flowing
canals in the southern portion of Coral Springs.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding. With flooded roadways and the numerous canals
across South Florida... it can be difficult to determine where the
Road ends and where the canal begins.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
of course it was ok for you to post about the missing dog on my FB wall.. you can put it on my WU blog also.
I love dogs...and every lost dog needs to find its owner.
So happy the lost dog was found... That is WONDERFUL!!!!
And I am looking forward to a lunch date soon.. maybe at that place in Lake Worth that Stacey and I eat at everytime we are there???
You enjoy your evening.
I may be busy tomorrow and tomorrow night so wanted to get by a few WU friends tonight while I can.
Happy Halloween!!!'
Happy Halloween my WU Friends!!!
Enjoy your evening!!!
Happiest Halloween Finn. I am so glad the rain has finally ended. I know you guys are dry too. Have fun tonight.
In the Beginning, Cracked Duck Eggs
Think Sibelius and Luonnotar.
Here is a direct link to the wonderful performance on Vimeo.
I wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving with lots of things to be grateful for... :)
We're going to my in-laws on the West Coast of Florida and, as always, give lots of thanks, eat, play cards, eat, play board games, eat, play more games, sleep - and start all over again the next day :) I love when I don't have to cook!
Just uploaded pics of one of the four avocados our young tree gave this year, they are the huge Florida variety - and delicious! Also took pics of doggies and Xmas reindeer in the garden.
The dogs look the same. How long have ou had your home now? I remember when you moved in and got Max and .... (drawing a blank on other doggie's name. Leo? I'm gonna have to go look. lol
Cute, the reindeer by the house. Glad to hear your daughter and Jamie's children will be with you for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you later.
:)
:)
This is beautiful:
That is beautiful. She is so young. What a voice. And a great song and lyric.
Here's a little Hawai'ian angel for you, to welcome December at your house.
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day.
Have a good evening... and may your December this year be filled with happy times that become wonderful memories.
Now tell me about this Lutey-fish stuff. Does it taste worse than dried salmon dipped in seal oil?
:)
Seems this year lots of angels are flying around... :)
That fish is cod cured in acid, the absolute worst and disgusting thing I have ever tasted. And you know I have eaten all kinds weird foods, Felix cat food included... I can't even think about it without gagging. If you go to a Xmas smrgrdsbord that has it, have a napkin on your lap to spit it out...
