It's raining

[thør]

If it takes five seconds for the sound of the thunder to reach you, the lightning strike was about a mile away. But I like it close. Really close. Makes me feel more alive.

My neighbor lost all his electronics when lightening struck the ground between our houses. I only lost a modem.

That part I don't like.

I have been in warm rain a few times in my life. It's very strange stuff.

Yes, but it's actually very pleasant, if you don't mind getting wet. I remember times like that as a boy. Floating Popsicle sticks in the gutter. Betting on which one would win the race to the sewer.

Warm wet is no big deal. Cold wet sucks.

Tell me about it. Cold wet for multiple December days and nights sucks big time. Especially when it alternates between freezing rain and snow, and the snow is already two feet deep or more, and all you have for shelter at night is a single parachute panel.

Indeed.

It IS raining. Now a sudden downpour. It's making me feel alive.
