This morning I woke up early (for me, anyway) at about six o’clock. No particular reason, except that I’m trying to shift my sleeping habits a bit. I put a pot of coffee on, had a bowl of cereal, and am sitting in the living room reading the dope. About fifteen minutes ago a storm hit; thunder, lightning, rain, wind, the works. I think one of the greatest things in the world is spending an early morning with coffee and the Straightdope while listening to the fall (excuse me, late summer 😉 ) rain outside. And, I don’t have to go to work until three this afternoon. Oh the possibilities! ---

No storms, just gray, chilly and breezy here. The thermometer in the tree outside my window says 52 degrees F, but my coffee is hot. This shot’s a few months old, but like you said, nothing like [coffee and dope in the mornin’.](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn106/3aaat/file002/web.jpg) ---

It was gloomy-gray this morning on my way to work, and I could hear the thunder and the rain hitting the roof about an hour ago. We’re supposed to have scattered showers and thunderstorms all day. I was going to walk to work this morning (I live about six blocks away) until I saw the weather… ---

Rainy/stormy days are my favorite. They break up the monotony of the oppression of the fiery Sky Lord.
