Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did my one thing! Woot!!

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.

I bet they'll be fine.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Booker ain't married, so mistresses aren't going to be his problem.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Things that got hit by lightning last night: Transamerica Pyramid, towers on both GG and Bay Bridges, Cranes building the new bridge.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

JOIN ME IN SMALL REWARDS TO GET THROUGH THE DAY!

I endorse this plan! I just realized I have a rewards card to the froyo place down the street that I completed the last time I was there, so I can go get free froyo this afternoon. Woo! This will make up for the fact that I decided I couldn't skip work this afternoon to join M for the baby shower his department is throwing for us. Ah well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think someone posted a link to Text From Dog before, but this one cracked me up:
