Wet Thursday (no alliteration there, lol!)

We had wicked storms on Thursday afternoon. From the widespread reports of damage, downed power lines and trees and flooding, I have to say I got off pretty lucky.

It started here about 3:30 PM. I went out to the lobby and watched the rain blowing almost sideways. I could hear the thunder, but saw no real lightning. Finally, the rain lessened and by the time I left for home, it was just sprinkling.

Of course, this put an end to the idea of cutting the back lawn tonight. So, instead, I putzed around the house. The storm came back and I went out on the porch and watched the show. I smoke my third or fourth cigarette of the year and drank some bourbon. Again it was a nasty wind, thunder, but no lightning.

I went back inside when the rain stopped and found my daughter Melissa had called. So, I called her back and we had a nice long chat.

I warmed up two hot dogs for dinner and ate them on buns with yellow mustard (I was too lazy to cut up an onion). I watched a little TV and then went to bed.
