The Crack of Thunder


The Smell of Ozone. I rise tumultuously from decent sleep. Lightning strikes repeatedly very near the house. A light show rages out the windows. Stark shadows flash against the walls. It's muggy. It's not yet dawn.

Muggy? Ugh. Before dawn? Even worse. Keep cool!

Thanks,

Weather was something like this:

09 Aug 4:50 am 86 temp 63 dewpoint 46 humidity SE 10 7.00 TS

Not really that humid, I am just hypersensetized.

The heat has finally "uncled". Cycling the last few days is pleasurable again. And the night's sleep, with open windows, is wonderful. I'll try and blow some of this cooler northern air you way. Stay cool...

I start packing tomorrow --
It only seems fitting that the temperature should be very hot to remind me that when I unpacked it was 112° and I did it in the heat of the day by myself.

Thanks for trying tho ...
