UD‘s summer begins; ‘thesdan days are hot, with evening thunderstorms. Here’s this moment’s weather report:
Flash flooding is occurring or is imminent in your area. Immediately go to higher ground if quickly rising water is about to impact your location. If you are in a vehicle, drive away from flooded areas. If on foot, do not attempt to walk through flood waters.
Rumble rumble rumble. Big time thunder.
At the end of a long, busy day, UD‘s been at the baby grand (backdrop for my Faculty Project lectures), playing Little Prelude BWV 938 in E minor. You know the one! Mr UD was on the couch reading and, as almost always happens when I play Bach, he’s now out like a light.
Only a few spotlights are on in our house; and despite Garrett Park having installed tons of forest green old-timey street lamps, things out there are very dark. UD‘s town is a well-established arboretum, with enormous trees everywhere. Not much light, not much sky.
But UD leaves for the beach soon (blogging of course continues apace), where for a change she’ll get nothing but sky and water and a bit of boardwalk. She’s got a date there with the supermoon (June 4) and the transit of Venus (June 5). Later in the summer, at her little house in upstate New York, she’ll lean back in butterfly chairs at night looking for perseids.

UD‘s neighbor Tamara
was over yesterday afternoon
to take UD’s photo.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
interviewed her about her MOOC,
and wants to run a picture
with the article.
Here it is.

Oh! Intimidating, but in a good way.

Not scathing enough!
