A Silly Battle

29 Aug

I find myself constantly second-guessing Mother Nature on her mood as far as the weather is concerned. It is a silly battle. The rain and sun are always giving me grief in planning my day. I’m talking about laundry days and not my golf games.

When the sun is out, it’s a good laundry day. But sometimes rain clouds would unexpectedly creep in. This situation then spoils the after-wash drying conditions. I love sun-dried clothes because they feel fresh and have a lovely sun-baked scent. Non-sun-dried clothes pale in satisfaction.

So, over the years, I have learned to look at the sky and gauge the cloud formations before I do laundry, although I could rely on the Weather app on my iPhone XR for better planning.

Yet, despite my efforts, Mother Nature still wins. Yesterday’s laundry load did not have enough sunshine to smell good. They will be out again today to catch some rays. Hopefully, it will stay sunny.

It looks like a silly battle, but instinct and technology cannot compare with Mother Nature.

Faces in the Clouds

31 Mar

Ever sat in your car while waiting for the traffic light to turn green and you stare at the blue yonder and before you know it, you see faces or animals in the clouds? I get that all the time.

Every cloud formation is interesting to me. Days when it’s cloudy I see animals shaped vividly. Then they evolve into faces. It’s really stimulating. I looked up on this ability and found out that it’s called pareidolia. And it’s either you have it or you don’t, seeing faces or animals in clouds or inanimate objects.

But apparently people who has this ability are also neurotic! Eeeks. Me… neurotic. Hmm…

 

I saw Yoda here. Can you?
