The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No Lee, we cannot.
Hmph.
So I've discovered two things that may not have survived last night's storm: one of the Japanese Maples in my front yard, and the remote entry/locking system on my car.
I am hoping that letting them both dry out will bring them back to life, because I like the tree and I really really don't want to think about how much fixing the car will cost.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Amazing photos, sumi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did my one thing! Woot!!

I bet they'll be fine.

So that really was an unusual thunderstorm last night:
The violent thunderstorm that blew through the Bay Area Thursday night was one for the record books - it shattered rain fall records in four cities and produced more lightning strikes than any other storm in recent history.
The National Weather Service counted a whopping 750 lightning strikes across the Bay Area, said Chris Stumpf, a forecaster.

I am all about little rewards, except I don't have any rewards in my office. Except for some Luna bars, which get a bit boring after a while, even the white chocolate-macadamia one.
I overslept this morning and yet when I got in, the office was mostly empty anyway. Apparently a whole bunch of staff are going offsite for some project that I'm not involved in, so I suspect it's going to be a quiet, boring day.
The thunderstorm last night was pretty impressive, especially since I was at dinner in the city and had to walk in it.

Holy cow! That's impressive.
Happily, TNG doesn't appear to mind about thunderstorms: nothing was destroyed when I got home, not even the expensive dog bed she started chewing on the other night. $70 for an extra-sturdy dog bed from LL Bean, and she decided she was bored at 2 AM and tore out one of the seams. I dunno what I'm going to do about that: I think I can stitch it back together, but it's not worth if it I can't stop her from chewing.

So that really was an unusual thunderstorm last night:
Daaaaamn. I was indoors the whole time watching the DVD of my last non-Theater Pub show.
