Some cool photos, too. It’s on the NWS Wichita website (I presume on the others, too) and I’m posting it here with their permission.  Let’s just say my perception of the season wasn’t accurate — could have something to do with missing the NW Kansas stuff in June ;-)

It ended up much like a modern-day "Name That Tune" — or TUNES, actually.

My Pandora is an interesting mix – Chris Tomlin, Alabama, Chicago, Madonna, Barry Manilow and Restless Heart are all on it.

Now imagine all of them playing at once, and throw in Men at Work's "Down Under" for good measure.

Almost like plugging into the entire radio market at the same time. My mind is still reeling. Now I think I'll plug in the headphones and QuickMix myself to sleep.

Hey, at least it got that blasted "MacArthur Park" (the original version) displaced from my brain cells. Momentarily.

Can see Toronto's skyline. (Too dark for a photo.) We'll circle around in time to see the fireworks over the falls.

Lush foliage…and a thunderstorm. No vacation of mine is complete without a thunderstorm.
