Leaving Iowa - Storms Everywhere But the Tropics

Some possibilities here and there in the tropics but nothing that is going to get a name today.

A wave in the NE Carib looks interesting as it is moving into warm water soon and sometimes things like that can spin up but doubtful. The SW Carib looks quieter. The wave off of Africa is having problems with dry air and probably SAL though haven't checked SAL today. It's clearly having problems either way. Nice little wave crawling along 2/3 of the way to our hemisphere that could flare up over warm water soon.

Had a nice trip. Saw my son with his baby, saw my other son, saw my grandson and that was nice. Cute, very cute. Older sons are cute too! Postville is as nice as it always is, filled with warm, friendly people. Nice lady next door has a large garden in her yard where she grows most of her summer vegetables. Her husband reads the paper while she gardens. They both look fairly happy. Content. Productive. A lot happier than people running around in the big city complaining about traffic and the high cost of produce and stress. Makes you think. They also seem not to worry much on global warming or other big problems. Gas is a bit cheaper here too.

So.... have weather today on the way to Minnesota maybe I will get some good pics? And, looking forward to a cup of Caribou Coffee at the airport (really is better than Starbucks I think.. can't believe I say that) and a long layover in Houston where I can play online a bit.

Miami awaits, steamy, tropical and thundering from what I've heard. People in Miami talk a lot about hurricanes when you get a really wet July. Someone do statistics on it, I have... wet July's usually lead into tropical summers.

Take care.. leaving the land of white bread and corn fields. Love to you all and watching the radar.

Be well.. Besos Bobbi
