pastiche

pastiche\pas-TEESH; pahs-\ , noun:
1. A work of art that imitates the style of some previous work.
2. A musical, literary, or artistic composition consisting of selections from various works.
3. A hodgepodge; an incongruous combination of different styles and ingredients.



Another word that describes this blog, even to the point of matching all three definitions.

Well, except for "work of art" and "artistic composition".

"Hodgepodge" and "incongruous combination" fit rather well.

I Slept Through the Monsoon

This is a screenshot of my TV screen, taken just a few minutes ago; it's the local radar channel and has warnings when the weather is severe, as well as temps, wind speed and direction and total rainfall.



I'll crop and magnify the troubling details:



Surprisingly, it's fairly dry out for getting close to a hundred inches of rain earlier. I've always loved sleeping to the sound of rain, but I must have been really out of it because I didn't hear a single drop hit the roof last night.

I'm certainly glad I didn't hear the forecast yesterday evening, or I'd have spent my time building an ark.

I'm a little worried about the wind that's in store for today, though. Hope my lawn chairs don't wind up in Oklahoma.



Heck, I hope my pickup stays in the driveway. I might even need to lash down my anvil.

Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul

I really love that rock 'n roll.

Reminds me of the opening of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
