You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Dark photos of a white hailstorm.

We’ve been getting a lot of hail the last few days. The temperature here on the ranch has been flirting with freezing for the last couple of weeks. The snow is mostly gone from last week, but the hail is quite something.

These are color photos, but there wasn’t a a lot of light and they came out mostly black and white.

This cloud raced past beneath a high overcast, forming and flowing and reforming over the course of a couple of minutes into something apocalyptic.

very dark cloud

This hill (”Goat Hill”) is a frequent subject; this is the darkest and most forlorn photo I have taken of it. Usually it is bright green and alive - but not today.

distant snow

The sky was streaked with falling hail - I saw this coming with plenty of time to take a few photos before it hit.
