Rumble in the Distance

There is so much I have to tell about,

so many blogs left half written,

but at the moment,

all I can think about is the sound of thunder rumbling outside my window.

It's such a slow, deep, and comforting sound,

and before the rain starts it is kind of like listening to my favorite Johnny Cash song ("Hurt").

The rain gives it a different feel, but it's still peaceful. Even when it's violent and the wind sounds like a raging ocean crashing in midair... it still makes me feel peaceful.

I do love rainstorms.

The weather here has become quite regular and predictable. If you manage to get outdoors at about 6 a.m., you can enjoy a bit of cool air, the last breath of spring. You'd best hurry enjoying it though, because even by 8:25, when I am heading to work, it is already hot enough to make me sweat. The heat and humidity, suffocating in intensity, last all day, without respite, until the sun sets. It's the perfect weather for doing laundry, drying clothes in record time even with the humidly. You'd best be careful not to forget to take it inside though. Once the sun sets, the slow process of cooling off combined with the lingering humidity inevitably gives way to rain storms.

Every night there is a storm, sure as clockwork.

Gives me a reason to like summer.

Cheers,
