@ponderable saidDark and stormy, in fact. To be precise:
The classic Snoopy:
It was a dark and rainy night.
It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
— the opening line of Paul Clifford, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton
By the way, has anyone here heard of The Bulwer-Lytton contest? If not: https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/ , and http://adamcadre.ac/lyttle.html .

@lemondrop saidlemon what awaits us all is the stuff of nightmares, we will all lose people in this Covid-19......Funny how you try to stick with the little group in the public thread, not so much in the P.M.'s I've noticed! 🙂 Would that make you a hypocrite?
