Sumer Is A-Comin In, Loudly Sing Yikes!

Thank heavens for the invention of laptop computers. I can sit here, connected via air instead of wire, and amuse myself looking at radar, while one of the loudest thunderstorms of my recent experience bangs and flashes and rumbles and booms overhead.

And wonder, of course, as I count "one-onethouand, two-onethousand, etc...", how people who think in kilometers measure the distance to the lightning by the arrival of the thunder? (So far tonight, my closest was "one-onethou...BOOM!" I may jump out of my skin entirely yet!)
