Long about eight years ago, you could set your watch in the summertime for when the rains would fall in Florida… EVERY day. Then came El Nino or El Nina (or El Mariachi, for all I know), and the drought began. Then came the fires, and at that time I swore that it could rain all day and all night rather than smell everything burning all around us.

Be careful what you wish for.

As I was running out to roll up the windows of my car (which I just got out of the shop and was trying to DRY OUT), I realized for the second time in two weeks I was soaked in the middle of the summer without any prior intent of going swimming. On my way back in, I felt a static shock on the hand I was trying to keep my umbrella from flying away with.

I couldn’t see what was struck, but since I felt the tingle at the same time I saw the flash and heard the thunder, I have to assume it was pretty close. I wasted no time getting back inside, but I came to an amazing revelation at that particular moment.

I don’t like daily flash floods any more than the thought of being struck by lightning.
Let the city burn, I say!!! BURN IT ALL…! At least you can SEE where the fire’s at! It doesn’t just fall out of the sky!

… has anyone seen my medication?!
