Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain...

The summer thunder storms have arrived! I have mixed emotions. Yes, it's good for the yard. Yes, it's good for the air quality. Yes, it will help prevent those pesky wild fires that are spreading over Central Florida. But I really don't enjoy walking in a full force shower - and for those of you who have never had the joy of experiencing a Florida thunder storm, that is exactly what it is like....a hot, muggy, full blast shower with the occasional hail chunk thrown in. And if you're lucky, you get to dodge lightening bolts.

I was watching the news tonight and they had a ticker counting the number of lightening bolts to make contact with the ground in the Orlando area. This was tracking only the latest storm of the night and it was counting 48, 49, 50, 51, etc... at a very steady clip. I swear, it is just a matter of time before I'm nailed by one of those suckers. Maybe I'll be lucky and it will give me ESP or the ability to move objects with my brain.

This could be an urban legend, but I was talking to my hubby's co-worker and he said his buddy was lying in bed watching TV when a bolt of lightening hit the house and flew out of his TV and struck him. Right now I'm on the computer AND watching the tube. So, if this post ends abruptly, you'll know what happened to me......
