Big time thunder up here right now. Not a lot of rain but real deep long runs of thunder. I like it the dogs hate it.

Seeing some impressive lightning to the south. I love watching storms. Have since I was a little kid apparently. My mom always tells the story of when our cherry tree out back was struck by lightning. Apparently I was standing on the couch in front of the picture window watching the storm and Mom said, "Wouldn't it be something if lightning struck that tree out there?"

Right then, the tree was struck by lightning, I kid you not. I do remember that part. Mom says that after seeing that, I said, "Do it again Mommy!"

Many years later, when I was in college (GMI) and working at Allison's as part of a co-op program and living at home whenever I was working, Mom and Dad were in Florida, so I had the house to myself. Had a party (of course) and there was a really bad storm. As luck would have it, lightning struck that tree and took the rest of it down.

I've always been respectful of my mom, but if I knew she had that kind of power when I was growing up, I mighta turned out different!

Oh, I've got the AC on in the house. But I live out here on the deck. Had the ceiling fan going along with a pedestal fan pointed at me.

I just hate being inside and I know winter will be here before we know it. I'm out here unless I'm sleeping, showering or ing.

Your deck is gorgeous! Do you have a tv out there? That's what really makes our deck my other living room (and my home office).

Nope. No TV. Don't want one out there.

Old Bear isn't here.

Hi/bye db! Did you hold up a 1-iron? You know not even God can hit a 1-iron!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Old Bear isn't here.

Well, he's late!

The way I played today a lightning strike would have been merciful.

 

[db1959]

Just can't trust those old bears, can you?

Maybe he's just off in the woods. Doing what bears do.
