Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One second is .2 miles! The higher pitch (the crack) reaches you first because of the wavelength! Um. Hi.
As oddly charmed as I was by LA (even the stereotypical overheard of modelish types in a fancy pants place, talking about what their therapists said about their narcissism!) the fact you are surprised by thunderstorms makes me have to cross it off my list of places. As if real estate didn't already.
I need my thunderstorms.
I used to do that all the time as a kid. Sit in the window watching a storm, and count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder to figure out how far away it was.
So of course my neighbor called right after I posted. Man, she's in a rough patch. Unemployed, living with a boyfriend she's not crazy about, trying to figure it all out. But we're totally going to hang out more!
I was in Pasadena with the baby and I was like, "Oh look! HAIL!"

I still do. When it comes to storms, I'm a worshipper. I'm the lunatic on the ridgeline as the storm climbs up the valley, and these days, the lunatic on the balcony when everyone else hides inside and the light and sound crashes down simultaneously. I've been warmed and warned by lightening and I should fear it more than I do. But I don't.
Oh! The night D was born, there was hail, green skies late that night as my SIL went into labor, so much lightning. And tornados in the vicinity. And after he was born, I just kept thinking how perfect weather.
I swear, I wasn't born during a storm. That I know of.
somehow, I'm doubting that.
I have to get the pics off the camera and upload them. Noah tried his hand at self feeding sweet potatoes and quinoa.
It was early July in southern NM. Not quite storm season.
I really wish I could get the flickr vids to work. I've missed mac and Noah & Grace stuff because my computers are archaic. (Finally saw poofyheaded mac tonight. AWESOME!)
So...was Noah enthusiastic? And still see you in Nov? (Fuck launch making my life insane. [Lauch is now officially Oct 8. Which means I have t0o care about a month to 6 weeks later] That's MY week.)
