.. I've just opened up the windows in the house, and a strong, warm breeze is circulating... the news just reported that this wind is carrying a load of thunderstorms my way, and they should arrive just around sundown... right now, those same storms are busy beating the smiles off the Alabamites... (stay safe, Queenie)... but my turn is coming... heh... about the time we start tonight's meeting of the Eagle Glen Social Club, the sky should be opening up...
... I've always loved thunderstorms... there is something exciting about their arbitrary precision... and the pure power they unleash... lightning flashes highlighting the pinpoint path of high-energy destruction.. and then the rolling thunder that follows... I love it... being caught outside while Mother Nature growls and spits is truly a rush.. I hope we get one helluva lightshow tonight...
... speaking of lightshows and Mother Nature, another one just happens to be scheduled for Friday.. slightly less violent, though.... that's right, rubberneckers... a partial solar eclipse will happen just after 6pm... the further South you are, the better the view you'll have... so, check it out if you get a chance.. if you miss it, you'll have to wait until May 2012 for the next one...
Thanks, Eric. At least it's knocking down the pollen a little bit. We've the hatches battened, though...just in case. ;)

Too bad we are too far north to see the partical eclipse!
I love watching a good thunderstorm. Some of my favorite memories of such were up in the mountains at the cabin, watching the storm move across the ridges... going to sleep to the sound of rain on the tin roof... Hope it was a good show and time for you.
