LIGHTNING BUGS

I got up in the middle of the night—a routine maintenance procedure—and noticed that there were blue flashes all around.

Heat lightning.

No thunder.

We are in a monsoon. Not a full bore one. The comfort index is only slightly above the desired max of 60 degrees. This is blowback from a storm in the Baja.

We haven't seen the real thing so far this summer.

A monsoon involves deep sweeps of air over the waters of either gulf and a heavy 80-ish comfort index. Warm soup.

Nevertheless, the lights flashing are not all that fun for Franklin.

He was sleeping hard when I got up but later he was doing a walkaround and saw the flashes.

Not OK.

There was no whining or coming to get us.

It will stay this way, they say, through Monday with some more flashes at night even if it bugs Franklin.
