"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

I would stand and stare - and then want to touch. Sad that the ice is melting and these beautiful creations won't be around forever.

I hope you do not mind me hijacking your thread, KK.

Moist days in East London

Much of what you will see in this gallery happened within the first hour of the cloudburst.

We had flooding not too long ago, but then the rain came down over the space of a week.

@SP: not at all... :)

@Anky: not that i can see... DBN may get some rain tomorrow and the next day, but only about 1-2mm.....

what EL experienced was indeed a cloud burst and most probably from a multicellular or a supercell thunderstorm...
not from a cold front system.... tho there seems to be a cut off low east of KZN, which is the culprit for this chilly weather...

This morning the weather reporter on SABC's Morning Live reported that there may be ice on the roads, and promptly pleaded with her viewers to drive with their headlights on as a precaution.

You know, because your car won't skid on ice if you have your headlights on.
