BOOM

I didn't make it to the biking today. We had a lot of rain.

But, the big news was the fireworks we got from about about 9 PM to 5AM.

There was a continuous series of storms; all thunder and lightning and very very heavy rain. And 'sheet' lightning. Not bolts to the ground. All up there.

Did I mention that this went on all night?

I wear earplugs and it woke me up; the flashes, the bangs, the downpour on the roof. We have no attic. No airspace over the ceiling. This is California; all flat roof. You can hear every drop when it is coming down hard. Torrents. Tropical.

OK.

You got the picture.

Franklin is getting a lot better with this kind of thing. But, when we see him standing in the center of the room we know it is time for a sitdown snuggle and a series of "It's OK".

It helps if you think it is OK yourself.

In the morning, all friends agreed, there has not been anything like it here in their PS 'lifetime'.

A 'winter' storm off the North Pacific is blamed. Cold, cold air, meets our warm air.

We cannot see it today but they say that there is snow down to 7000 Feet.

There is nothing weird about that part. We often have snow up there in October.

And that is the weather report from the desert.
