some non-blonde thoughts

There is this strange feeling, standing outside and looking up at the dark, looming clouds with the wall of rain below; hearing the distant boom of thunder and seeing the occasional crack of lightening; and watching this whole mess slowly move closer and closer to you, and knowing that you are going to get smothered by it if you stay there.

I'm just glad I was smart enough to grab my umbrella from the car while I was outside on my last break, just as the first drops of water were beginning to fall. Oddly, I can't tell if it is raining outside now; I think it looks wet outside, but there is no howling wind or rain pounding the side of our building. I hope it will be dry (enough) for pre Fourth of July fireworks later this evening.

You'd probably like it. We do get our fair share of "snowbirds" in the winter.

I've never skied or anything before. I have seen snow twice. Once in the mountains of California, but it wa more like ice, and once in Chicago, and it was pretty light they say.
