Thursday Morning

Well, the sun did come up-it's cloudy so I guess we'll get another round of thunderstorms later--I love thunderstorms, the more lightning the better--I like the video even more than the audio, when the lightning is close, the simultaneous clap of thunder, where you can feel the vibration all the way through you--perfect. And the smell of ozone---when I was young, I loved to be out in a thunderstorm or at least on the porch and watching the whole symphony--I guess I thought I was invincible. Now I still love to be in or close to a thunderstorm--to feel the moisture in the breeze even if I am on the porch, to have my skin tingle with the charged air--to count between the flash and the boom--5 seconds=1 mile---I love it when you don't even get to one in the count so you know it's right on top of you. No, I realize that I am not invincible or suicidal--I guess I just lack the common sense to be afraid. Recognizing and respecting the beauty and power of the storm.
