The death of a storm

Here's a word of wisdom-only worry about those things which you can control. I stressed out a bit over the mighty lightning and hail storm that was headed our way, I stored away some things on the deck, and I shuffled the lovely Mrs. Jib off to work early to avoid the hail. Almost the moment I sent her on her way, the storm started to weaken. And man, did it weaken. After listening to a lot of reports of golfball to softball size hail to the west of us, we got some pea to microscopic sized hail.

Here's another lesson for all of you guys out there. When you tell your wife a bad storm is coming and you send her off to work early, and the storm peters out, you never hear the end of it.
