"On a rainy Monday .. I feel it inside me.. In the hopes of one day"


It poured down rain today. Like solid good rain. Of which I haven't seen in a long time. I was walking from work to the International District w/ GSC and we were drenched by the time I reached the station. I am also confident that the poor guy might think I'm a total loon because there was thunder AND lightning and I was so freaking excited. 

I have distinct remembrances of rain storms. Sitting in the family room in the dark and it being filled with light from the lightning flashing outside. The booming thunder. I loved it. I was hoping for power outages. That always seemed really cool. My last good Arizona monsoon was in summer of 2002. That was a long time ago. Rexburg never had good storms... and Utah had some good ones but never like AZ. 

Mind, I don't remember having to venture forth into it either. So trudging through it was.. so fun. My pants, shoes and shirt are soaked. And of course, once we got out of the downtown area, it was fine and people were dry. 
And then there was me, the drowned rat.
