Good old MyCast®

It’s a-rainin’. (Screenshot by the dreaded MAC.)

Right at the moment, it’s pouring outside (Tuesday, July 21, 2009; 5:50 p.m.), and my weather-radar shows why.
My weather radar is good old MyCast®, recommended to me long ago by a fellow-employee at the mighty Mezz.
I managed to walk the dog before the deluge, but I could see (and hear) it coming.
On a day like today I fire up my MyCast to see if I can walk the dog without getting soaked.
It looked like I could — so up the street we went.
Good old MyCast®; I leave it logged in all-the-time.
With my FireFox Internet browser I can; I even got it on my cellphone.
Here I am at the mighty Curve, deep in PA, and I can see if a deluge is coming. —On my cellphone.
Good old MyCast® — much better than looking west, or as my aged neighbor used to do, stick up her finger.

• RE: “Dreaded MAC.....” —All my siblings use Windows PCs, but I use an Apple MacIntosh, so I am therefore stupid and of-the-Devil.
• RE: “It’s a-rainin’......” —Years ago, about 1969, we were at a rainy family reunion in northwestern PA, and someone observed “It’s a-rainin’!”
• The “mighty Mezz” is the Canandaigua Daily-Messenger newspaper, from where I retired over three years ago. Best job I ever had.
• “Hufton” is Houghton College in western New York, from where I graduated with a BA in 1966. I’ve never regretted it, although I graduated as a Ne’er-do-Well, without their blessing. Houghton is an evangelical liberal-arts college. (Houghton is often mispronounced, which was why we came up with “Hufton.” It’s HO-tin.)
• Our current dog is “Scarlett;” a rescue Irish-Setter. She’s four, and is our sixth Irish-Setter.
• The FireFox Internet browser asks if I wanna save all my web-site log-in tabs. Seems Internet-Explorer can do the same — I don’t know about other browsers. The one I use is FireFox.
• The “mighty Curve” (“Horseshoe Curve”), west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, is by far the BEST railfan spot I have ever been to. Horseshoe Curve is a national historic site. It was a trick used by the Pennsylvania Railroad to get over the Allegheny mountains without steep grades. Horseshoe Curve was opened in 1854, and is still in use. (I am a railfan, and have been since I was a child.)
