This sad occasion is when Michael McNeil is in funds and there is a
lunar phase at or near 5 or 11 am or pm immediately following the
spring equinox.

Ideally, he has dined well in the early afternoon and made it to his
local in time to imbibe too many pints for his own good -but for
humanity in general this should be seen as a great sacrifice.

I am to my bed anon. (There being feck all else to do; with the BBC
being what it is (and Andrew Lane still there etc., etc.,.))

Interesting to me at least is that in the summer the phases that bring
plenty of rain to Britain also bring heavy rain to Florida. (I'm not
sure about the winter.) Meanwhile the completely opposite type of
weather is experienced on the other side of the States.

So I went looking to see if there were any tornadoes in the Mid West.
And this is what I found:

Violent thunderstorms battered a three-state region with hail as big
as softballs and wind that damaged several homes and caused power
outages.

The storms that hit Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee marked the
leading edge of a mass of cold air that dropped temperatures Wednesday
morning into the 20s in the central Plains and upper Midwest.

The National Weather Service came out and surveyed the damage in
Jonesboro today and determined it was, in fact, an F-1 tornado that
heavily damaged the Aramark building.

This service was brought to you at no small expense and as yet no
hangover. So no real damage done here.

Mind you I still have to hear complaints from my neighbours (People
like David Mitchell and Paul Herber don't count.)

Bloody hell, I'm thirsty.
