I wish you could hear this thunderstorm that is a crakin' right over my house right now, it's amazing. Its been the most tremendous thunder I have ever heard and nary a drop of rain. For about 20 minutes of it the sky right on the edge of the storm was bright blue but every time I went outside to take a picture there was this incredibly bright and scarey as all get out lightening so I ended up literally with a shot of my patio floor, my foot, part of my warm up pant leg and some foliage from a tree. I figured if I tried a fifth time to take a picture I would be seriously taught a lesson about standing outside in a lightening storm and came inside.

I have literally everything unplugged that could fry just incase. I mean it is THAT close. Herschel can't be bothered by this at all. He is just sitting on the pillows calm as can be.

What an angel.

Edited to add: Seriously, this is just one more reason why I love Steevoh. It just turned on to record a program. On his own, with out me having to remember to turn him on. People might kvetch about Comcast but seriously, I just happened to look over and see the recording light on. How nice is that? The storm is almost over and while I don't have much electric on still (because it is really quiet in my neighborhood and its like a little gift of silence and wind in the trees and crickets) Steevoh came through. Like a champ. Thank you Comcast. Thank you Bro who convinced me to sign up for Steevoh. It really is magic.
