I must have the same sense of humour as you since I found your post funny …

Golly. People certainly take all this blogging seriously. I was trying to be HUMOROUS, using hyperbole for subtle humor by over-stating my feelings.

I guess I'm not really that funny...Glad I have a day job.

I love your rain guage. I’m not one that pays much attention to the weather – it’s one of those things I can’t do a darn thing about! Enjoy your trip.

I think we should create a "weather geeks" group!

Yes, I have returned from Chicago. I took about 200 photos at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Between the 200 photos and the work that was the actual reason for visiting Chicago in the first place, it is taking a while to get myself organized and published.

Stay tuned!

Now you’ve done it! I’m pondering investing in a rain gauge. I’m an indoor gardener! How much rain does fall inside a house? I could put it on my balcony, but considering that the storm that drowned England is heading towards Sweden I should invest in an inflatable boat instead…

OMG, Robin, I am a weather geek too! I love it when I’m somewhere that has cable TV…the first channel I go to is The Weather Channel. (and I have an entire set of "Tornado Classics" videos!) You may be able to find a weather radio that just broadcasts the forecast and not the "weather alerts"

P.S. Have a good trip to Chicago–the weather should be pretty decent while you’re there.

Have a great trip and enjoy the gardens: if you get a chance to see any of Chicago’s green/living rooftops, do. They’re pretty incredible!

Whew, glad to know it is okay to record the high and low temperature for each day because I've been doing that for 6 years. I get the info from the paper, though, not my own thermometers. That would be too obsessive. And it is in a garden journal, not online.

I don't have a weather radio, but I should get one. We have these things called tornadoes that can whip up mighty quick in the middle of the night. If one is heading my way, I'd want to know about it!

Enjoy Chicago, and I'm looking forward to your reports from their botanical gardens, 'cause I've never been there.
