Nightime
The good: Burning down the highway through the night. Just been at a work function so a couple "conversation lubricants" (not too many kids - never drive drunk!)have been consumed and now I'm heading home with virtually green light the whole way home and some very good metal on the stereo. The afternoons event was a work sponsored "season-type greeting" on the beachfront. While it was very hot, the company, conversation and views certainly made up for it as the weather moved ever closer to us. Nothing like a bit of nature to get the juices flowing.
The better: The lightshow. Unseasonably hot November plus a rain front equals a lightning show more suited to a tropical location. Brilliant flashes. Crackling spider-webs. Sun-bright bolts.
The bad: The seriously big bolt that touched down less than 5k from dragontail and stareyednight's place. I bet they heard it! Also I'm kinda hoping that hit one of the big industrial-type structures nearby, or else someone is having quite a bad night.
The freaky: the supposedly random mix on the iPod throws up "Ride the Lightning" while said storm is happening. Conincidences don't happen.
