Last night's storms were loud and blinding and interrupted our sleep, but they did nothing more than threaten. Today, much more severe storms did quite alot of damage in the town of Breckenridge, about 130 miles west of Dallas. Those storms birthed tornadoes, we're told, and are heading in our direction. So we can expect (or should be prepared for) severe weather later tonight and early tomorrow morning.
An acquaintance from one of our client groups called today to tell me he's going to Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia in July, another trip designed to allow him to participate in demanding marathons. This trip will include a marathon in the Atacama desert, said to be the driest place on earth. The Atacama desert is, in large part, very high in altitude, so the temperatures are not horrifically hot. I equate deserts with heat, but the Altacama desert is dry, not hot.
