About the lightning photo I’d posted a few days back - I’ve had a number of people post and inquire if it was something reflective of my mood or the weekend or anything like that, and it’s quite patently nothing like that. I just get homesick every so often for Midwest Thunderstorms, and while I expect the next time I see one I’ll be reminded of the downsides of them (and how hot and muggy it invariably gets around a really good one). But in the end, they’re just beautiful to watch, and so I saw the pic and had to repost it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been sitting on the hood of a car in the middle of the country (e.g. some country road w the flint hills all around) and watching a thunderhead work it’s way across. Dat’s it. Nothing more deep than that.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled meme’s.
