Wow! When I said it was the end of summer, I was hoping it was just figurative…..what happened to the weather?!? Last Saturday it was in the upper 90’s, last two days it hasn’t gotten over 60! I’m not gonna complain….it feels good to walk outside and not be enveloped in a never ending cloud of hot, humid air, that knocks the ambition right out of you.
Last Saturday we watched the storms blow in. We are only about 20 minutes east of Ann Arbor, and had the U of M football game on the television. We were talking about how hot it was if you were at the game, sitting shoulder to shoulder with 110,00 other people in 90 plus degree weather. Then we saw the storm move in there….they had to delay play and everyone got drenched. We figured it was no more than 20 to 30 minutes before it hit us.
The rain came in waves…it would rain for bit, then stop, then rain some more, then stop, repeat. At one point, the wind kicked in so hard, the busboys had to go out and stack all the chairs on the patio, as they were getting blown around. They got thoroughly drenched. You know, when it rains so hard, and the wind is so strong that it rains sideways. Even being under a canopy doesn’t help. There was no way they were gonna dry out, not without going through the spin cycle first. (Yes, they were that soaked)
The power flickered a couple of times, we were fortunate in that it did not go out. (Although I don’t think anyone would’ve minded, it would have put an early end to a slow night.)
Time to close up shop, we all had Sunday and Monday off for the holiday weekend.
As I look at the schedule for the week, we’re back to full steam ahead. The coming weekend is booked with a ton of banquets, all servers are scheduled, many for double shifts.
For everything there is a season, and here we go…….
