Sometimes the only way to stop a threat is to taunt it with its former beauty.

Hehe, I also like how these weekly updates allow me to make this some kind of non-committal tiny blog SO I SHALL TELL YOU ABOUT how, a few days ago, I was a few feet away from actually being electrocuted by a tiny lightning strike and therefore avoiding certain death or third degree burns, thereby making me one of those very rare people to directly witness the ground smoking upon impact. Pretty scary stuff!

The weather every evening (it always rains and thunders at 3 pm) has been horrible; it’s like the stuff made for apocalyptic movies.
