Well I Love A Rainy Night

the song by eddie rabbit popped into mind as we were driving home from the airport this morning.

it was almost 4am, the roads were empty, and lightning flashes from above once every ten seconds.

we had gotten mom from the airport at a little later than three because her flight from Narita was majorly delayed. i mean, she was supposed to have landed at 12am!

now what really got me thinking was the lightning.

so what was so special about the lightning this morning?

while most of you were sleeping, i caught the rare occurrance of thick bolts of sheer energy...without the thunder.

and you may find it odd of me to say this, but i found it rather scary.

i'm accustomed to hearing thunder after chancing lightning...and if something that you always thought of as a continuing act of nature doesn't happen, it freaks the hell outta you.

especially with such huge bolts lightning, you'd expect some major vibration on your car seat window panel.

NONE. ZILCH. NADA.

three-quarters of the way home and still no thunder and rain.

i panicked.

then slowly, i hear progressing patter-rhythms.

boy was i relieved.

anyways, i have a theory about all this, but i'm way too smashed to type anymore. i'm heading back to bed for a couple of hours before heading downtown for an interview.

good night world.

and stay tuned...=)
