Rainy days - Page 2

Not Afraid · 10-17-2005, 12:57 PM

Our lightening storm started on the drive back from Disneyland and continued for HOURS. I had a overnight job near the lagoon and made my way over there about 10:00. I got myself settled, got in my PJs and watching the sky light up with impressive streaks of lightening. I was on the cell to Chris, who was at our house, when lightening hit something close by and blew it up. The lights went out and the cell went dead. Pretty scary when you're in an unfamiliar house. I thought the dogs would be frightened but the noise and flashes didn't bother them at all. I think it finialy calmed down a bit at about 2 am, so, that was a good 5 hour show.

I can't wait for more tonight.

It's still just me and the puppies alone in the big house.

I do like the rain, but more importantly I like the cooler weather. It's so nice to pull on a turtleneck or a sweater.

Now I'm pissed that I mojoed you for the OP - I would have totally mojoed you for that.

That tree was so scary!

Dude, awesomeness! I love that creepiness.

That lightening was the most impressive I've ever seen out here. We had a great vantage point from the freeway.

I'm looking forward to sipping hot coffee while wearing my new jacket during light rain in Paris.

A couple weeks ago we had a great thunder and lightning show here. It was awesome. Lately though, no rain.

So, did anyone get rained on during mouse adventure or did the weather behave?

Heh - we dropped our package scattering the different sheets all over the rain soaked ground in attempt to quickly dodge the rain - oops. We went directly to the opera house where I layed the pages out individualy on the carpet in an attemt to blot them dry.

I was also forced to use a mechanical pencil the lead of which I continuously broke with each letter drawn since my ink kept running.

There were about 10 minutes right at the beginning when it rained pretty decently. We found an awning, whipped out the umbrella. Didn't get a drop of water on any paper. No rain for the rest of the game.

Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run,
What you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
And my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold Kentucky rain,
In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a gen'ral store
They said "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before

So I fin'ly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you

Thought I would share the lyrics to my all time most favorite song in the World....

I came prepared with my handy dandy patented waterproof clipboard thingamabob but didn't get a chance to use it since I was sitting under a handy dandy umbrella when the rain rain rain came down.

I was over at my friends house today.. saw a bolt of lightening and before I could ask him "did you see that" the thunder came crackling through the sky scaring the crud out of both of us. I jumped about 3 feet and nearly dumped Shiny on the floor.
