Weather It Is (The Day the Clocks Stopped)

Good Afternoon:

Was I the only one who noticed?  Perhaps because I was looking outside at the sky when it happened (and not at my prayer book, which is about 775 pages long): I was apparently spared -- whatever happened.

Before turning around, I noted the temperature and time on the digital clock (5:46 P.M), and when I turned back the clock said the same time -- although the temperature had changed by a degree.

This went on for at least several minutes, the congregation oblivious to the fact that they were reading and rereading the same page over and over again. The members swaying in the wind like reeds.

It was one of the strangest things I've seen.

Today the weather and the time is back to normal.  Never has food tasted so good (of course, we're fortunate not to live in a time of famine, God forbid).  It's 31 C and 28% humidity with a light wind and it's absolutely perfect outside.

Looking ahead: Shabbat may seem some tropical showers and then the Sukkoth holiday should be pleasantly warm and dry (although the end of the holiday may see some more tropical clouds/showers).

There is a 30% chance of our "first" rain will around or shortly after Simchat Torah.

Hag Samaech,
