It's all about scent
To echo many: that was a fantastic storm last night. I watched the Wex kids last night, so was out on my motorcycle at 10:30 when it was just flickery and not acting like it would do anything, however being out thusly felt overly exposed, so I didn't wander home so much as booked home. I was still very awake when it hit Lexington. At least raucous thunder and lighting is a very good reason to be kept up. Better than generic insomnia or whatever. So, yeah, a little sleepy today. Oh, and the mud slicks in front of our house (we live at the bottom of a wee hill) were very telling with exactly how fast it was coming down.
Not entirely unrelated to the rain/last night, I've discovered yet again the power of scent. The smell of anis is reminiscent of corruption, medicine... or easter baskets.
