send it on down, send it on down, send the rain down

Attention, everyone! It's National Severe Weather Awareness Week! So...get aware. :)

I am a Skywarn spotter. Or I used to be. I haven't been through training since 1999, but I'm planning to attend a class next month at the library. It's not like we have much severe weather to spot anyway. Just rain. And rain. And rain. I've figured out that our above-average snowfall this year has been more about excessive precipitation than colder temperatures. And I don't even have my meteorology degree! I ought to call the Weather Service and demand a job right now! :P

I was hoping to get a recycled laptop with my tax return money, but I did my taxes and I'm not getting nearly enough back. I guess I could take some money out of savings, but it seems stupid to do so when I hardly use my computer at home, and it works fine when I do. Although when I tell people it's a 1997 Acer, they kind of freak out. :)

Why are garbage trucks so loud with the cranking and the beeping? And why do they always come at 5 or 6 in the morning? How hard could it be to pick up the garbage at 10 or 11, when everyone is awake and/or at work? Sometimes I wish I had listened to my parents and stayed out of the city.
