Internet Weather

I was thinking this morning about how marvelous the internet is. How we can summon incredibly diverse information with only a few computer clicks.

The reason for my rumination on the internet is I had wanted to paint our front door. However, clouds loomed above us, moving on a familiar storm track. Since rain on fresh paint might not be a good thing, I decided to check the weather radar on the internet.

The radar showed that the storms were moving off shore and very shortly be gone. Great! I wanted to get that prime coat on the door today and if I didn't have the internet would have looked at the sky and decided that I had best delay the work.

Of course I got everything set up and just started to paint when thunder rolled across the area and it commenced to rain. Man, is the internet great or what?
