Precipitation

[darkemeralds]

Today's massive deluge was brought to you by Global Climate Change™.

The rain was so heavy and the skies were so dark that I could barely see highway signs. The roads were like rivers, except where they were more like lakes. One massive, car-shaking crack of thunder rocked the part of Clark County I was driving in, and I had to speak sternly to myself about the unlikelihood of lightning striking my particular car.

By the time I got where I was going, at least half an hour late, I was all out of sorts. Thankfully, it was lunch with roseambr and we made up for stress with tasty food, great conversation and a little shopping. (I bought eyeshadow! Whee!)

The more I ride my bike, the less I can tolerate driving my car, and on days like today the best answer of all is just to stay home and drink hot tea.

Which I shall now proceed to do.

I think only being in the Faraday Cage (hee!) detracted from the day's pleasures. I do love a good storm, and that was a doozy. But not while driving. In the 'burbs. Of Clark County. *shudders* And I got lost! So all my cycling-instead-of-driving for weeks and weeks was undone by one stupid rural detour.

Sometimes I hate having ZERO sense of direction. One little bit of stress (like driving in that storm) and I am utterly and completely disoriented.

Your day sounds fab--that particular loop is a goody! Oh, and speaking of Sûr La Table, did I mention that roseambr and I have signed up for S's chocolate class on December 6? At least, I hope it's one of S's classes. But it's chocolate, so we're goin'.
