I didn't sneak (or even do it blatantly! <rs!>) and don't recall being
told not to do it, but perhaps a bit of reverse psychology on Dad's
part as I would sometimes help clean his pipe: soggy filter in the
stem, crusty gunk in the bowl. Will admit filling his tobacco pouch
the fresh tobacco did sometimes smell decent but a little 'off'.
Cleaning his pipe could well have turned you off... ;) Richard usedPossibly the 'grossness' of Dad's pipe subtly turned me off from

all that attractive a job to clean it either... I was never attracted

Hard to say....Well, yes, did a bit of Googling and appears the smoke from the
Canadian wildfires is mostly gone from this part of the country -- Northeast still has some lingering. So any grayness out there is water vapor.
Last night was monitoring a storm system coming in: watched some
rather dark clouds coming in. Then a very brief sound of heavier rain
on the air conditioner -- almost reminded me of someone spilling water from a bucket. Window on the far side of the did get rained upon --
must have been a bit of a breeze change so the rain hit my side.
Storm was sort of a fizzle: just over a tenth of an inch of rain in
the rain guage. Plants probably like the 'real' water better than
what we gave them from the tap earlier a few hours earlier!

it. ...They had predicted some dangerous storms for yesterday later
afternoon and all evening -- drizzled and light rain part of the
evening but that was it. I didn't check the radar sites to see where
the storm went.
Just as well the danger wasn't there where you are.... I like aYes, though always some degree of danger. ...Maybe that's part of the excitement?!
good storm, too... to watch from the safety of indoors, or at
most, a porch... <G>
If I'm going to be inconvenienced I'd like to be 'comfortably
inconvenienced"; you an extra day at cabin.... for me ended up being a
nice Hotel at the Vienna Airport. (Darn! Should have called Room
Service for bon-bons! <bseg>).
Yup... (and maybe you'll think of it next time... <G>)While it did turn into an enjoyable time I sort of don't want to
repeat the delay. Or if does happen to be able to do an add-on
vacation: one of the flight options was to go from Vienna to Paris and then on to Boston. Well, if I'm going to go to Paris I'd like to do at least some 'touristing' while there rather than just sit/wander Charles
de Gaulle Airport.
The last storm late Sunday afternoon definitely wasn't a fizzle! LIS
we were out on the porch for a while experiencing the rain. A small
area in one of the garden areas was pooling; possibly others but hard
to see. At least the gutters weren't clogged!
And at least things weren't really flooding.... :)
Right: more 'pooling'. Just large puddles: step in and foot would
have been soaked but not the ankle. OTOH all that pooled water does
look impressive!
Especially when it covers a large section of the yard... ;)That would be really bad considering the yard has a slight rise to it! We're probably higher by at least three feet than across the street!
