7/22: no rain

It was the day for my almost-annual trip to Altus to meet up with a friend, and it looked like we might have been in for a repeat of last year's get-together, which included a rainstorm, thunder and lightning, and a power outage at the pub where we were convening.  But the rain stayed away, which made the drive there and back again less of a hassle, and which meant that my friend and I could spend part of our time in Altus talking outside in the town's central square.
