Dept. of Nature is a Little Scary

Weather Watching 

Sitting in a coffee shop in Evanston, drinking chocolatey coffee, eating something that's waaaay too chocolatey, and watching the storm that caused officials to evacuate Lollapalooza downtown The lightning bolts are impressive and the constantly pealing thunder is both unsettling and wonderfully reassuring  We're really not in charge are we? As I said .. unsettling, yet reassuring

I loooooooooove weather for just this reason. It just . . . puts you in your place. There's something both reassuring and invigorating about that.

Also variety. I could never live somewhere where the weather was the same all the time.

Oh great. I think we're getting that one tomorrow. Guess I'd better batten down the hatches.

If it's any consolation, the storm was short. It did fry our router, though; so we're off to the computer store to get a new one. (I'm typing this from BB's 'puter, which is hardwired into our cable service, lucky him.) Good luck with your weather watch!

Lot of storms here, too...love the electric feeling of them and oddly, though they make me feel small, I am unafraid. So yeah. What you said...

Hey Kaffyr, I was thinking of you yesterday. Some friends were over with their daughter who, it turns out, happens to be a huge DW fan.

I've always loved thunderstorms (although I think that one sounds a bit extreme). They are quite rare in my hometown, so I always turn on my childlike wonder when we do get them. Of course, now I'm in SE Asia and it's rainy season, so we often get more than one a week - but I still haven't gotten tired of them!
