The sky appears to be threatening because it is being threatening. Threatening to send lightning bolts to the ground, along with downpouring rain.
The sun had yet to arrive this morning when I detected a brief flash of light. Many seconds later I heard a distant boom.
By the time of my regularly scheduled morning swim arrived I was counting 10 to 15 seconds between flashes and booms, so I felt fairly safe from a zapping.
Soon after getting wet big drops of rain started plopping into the pool. I like swimming in the rain when the rain is not in big drops mode. I was not enjoying swimming in the rain this morning.
After I saw a flash and counted only 5 seconds before I heard a boom I decided to get out of the pool.
Changing the subject to something else.
I just glanced over at my second monitor to see incoming email coming in, one of which in the subject line says "Martha looks 20 years younger. Did she get a face lift?"
Are we talking about Nurse Martha here? If Nurse Martha looked 20 years younger she'd look like a teenager.
Changing the subject again.
I had planned to go walk with Arlington's Indian Ghosts today, prior to going to ALDI. However, stormy weather may alter that plan.
Speaking of Indian Ghosts, yesterday I started re-reading Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown. If you have never read this book you really should.
