Thunderstorms and almost done...

[dagibbs]

In Ottawa we sometimes get thunderstorms, but (at least this week) here they're a daily occurence. They start around 3-4pm, run for a couple hours, with the rain continuing until about 8-9pm. But, they seem to have decent power systems, since only today did we lose power, and then only for a minute of so. Luckily, we were mostly working with laptops, so we didn't lose everyone's work.

And, we're almost done -- another day and a half to go, and we'll be finished. Things are going well, though we're running a bit behind. A few delays, and interruptions have cost some time. Also, a few diversions and side discussions have cost some time. Mostly, though, we've been making it through pretty well. Seem to be a good group, and interested in learning, and I've been enjoying teaching them.

Looking forward to making it home again, though.

You've been having rain daily all week?

Nice.

Yes, but down here, rain doesn't mean it cools off, rain just means the humidity goes up afterwards as all that fallen water evaporates back into the air -- a friend described Florida summer days as: "hot, rain, steambath".

Yes, in a central Florida summer you can set your watch by the 3PM daily thunderstorm. It's uncanny.
